Interconnection

The electrical design of a windfarm is a critical element in delivering electrical power to the grid resulting in revenue for the project. GL Garrad Hassan can offer investors and lenders detailed assessments on all the electrical aspects of an onshore windfarm baased upon extensive experience and expertise. Our engineers would typically undertake assessments on projects including:

 

• Suitability of the grid connection
• Review of technical aspects of connection agreement and any power purchase agreement
• Grid code review
• Wind farm electrical design assessment of the electrical plant
• Electrical Loss Assessments
• Technical review of equipment contracts
• Electrical aspects of turbine selection

 

The scope and nature of the work depends on the development stage of the project, from concept through consent and development through to operation. Interconnection can be offered as part of a package or be electrical specific.
