Hi, Anybody has the same situation? I guess you shall connect both of them since they are close enough. In my case, one alternative is connecting both substation and PV plant through the screens of MV cables. It is this procedure according standards? In the analysis , we are simulating both...

Good Morning, I am working of a 50 MW PV Plant earthing design. PV Plant is connected through 30kV MV Cables to the substation, with in total of 3 circuits. The substation voltage level is 30/220kV and this substation is located 7 km away from PV Plant, this is , that MV evacuation is around...

Thanks @Desrod2, do you know any point of contact? I asked last week but with no success. Regards.,

Hi all, I am trying to import a Load Curve in Excel format to Cymcap in order to perform a cable ampacity simulation. The user guide provides me an example of how the data shall be written, but when creating such excel file with the data, and imoporting to Cymcap, it retrievs me an error ( OLE...

Thank you

Dear colleagues, I am reviewing a project *.OTI which was saved with ETAP 19 Version. In my office, I have ETAP 18 Version. I get an error when opening the file. Anyone could help me to find out what is wrong? Attached is a screenshot of the error. How could I solve it? Thank you very much in...

Hello All, I have to calculate the Short circuit rating of a LV Switchgear. ( See pdf attached). The LV Switchgear is fed from two 800kVA transformers running in paralell and each transformer is working at 50% Load. I have made a quick calculation of SC current but I need to know what case...

Good Morning Colleages, I have been looking through the forum but I have not found anything related. I am wondering if anyone of you could tell me which is the approximated self power consumption of a MV Switchgear panel (Feeder for static load) of the features: 33kV , 2000 A and 31,5kA...

Thank you RRaghunath for your prompt reply. I assume the Loads from the PV Plant will be supplied from grid in case of shutdown of the plant.Of course, heaters are supplied from the Auxiliary Power Supply of the MV Switchgear Arrangement, but this power would come from the Grif. But, in case...

Good Morning all, I am working now in a Grid Connected PV Project located in Spain. In the MV Switchgear Arrrangement, it is requested to provide space anti condensation heaters to avoid condensation. Such heaters shall be fed from an auxiliary power supply of 230 Vac or 125 V ac During...

Thank you prc, I will also have a look on other Standards.

Dear all, thank you for your answers, please find attached a Handmade SLD for my better Explanation. The System Looks like the attachment.I have placed a LV Panel before entering the LV Side of Transformer, would be necessary? rcwilson, I do not have Name plate of transformer available. The...

prc, thank you for your answer.In case a LV Panel to Group both Feeders into one to feed the LV Side of transformer, shall the following conditions be fulfilled? - Voltage Level = 480V Feeders - Phase: Both Feeders shall be equally phased in order not provide lagging or leading voltages -...

Dear all, @jfpe The Project is a PV Plant. The transformer is 0,480 / 11 kV, and two incomings from two separate Inverters are connected, each one wich different power and current as per the Picture attached. @mgtrp: Cables are sized equal, but using differnet amount of runs. Feeder 1...

Dear John, thank you very much from your Reply. I am doing a design vetting, and I found at the end the document native from author, you were right. it refers to cable runs. Is there any document/ guide of cable Designation? Thank you so much!
