Scope of Supply
Electrical studies for the Morgavel Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant, located in the municipality of Sines.
System Description
The Morgavel Photovoltaic Power Plant has a licensed capacity of 48.9 MVA (49 MWp) and eight inverters, each rated at 3437 kVA. The voltage at the interconnection point is 60 kV.
Description of Activities
The ENGIPROT team was responsible for the development of the electrical studies:
- Calculation of short-circuit currents
- Power flow study
- Verification report of grid code compliance under steady-state and dynamic conditions (DL 73/2020)
- Protection coordination study
- Earthing system validation
- Study on lightning protection
Benefits for the Client
The studies carried out enabled the sizing or validation of the plant’s equipment, optimising its operation to improve the voltage profile and minimise losses. They also helped reduce the construction cost of the plant while ensuring compliance with regulations and international standards.
The grid code compliance study allows the completion of the technical dossier required by the grid operator for the plant’s connection to the network.
