    Earthing design of 50 MW PV Plant and 30/220kV Substation ( separated 7 km)

    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...

    Anti Condensation Heaters / General Electrical Loads - Medium Voltage Switchgears (PV Plants)

    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...
