Project : Wind-farm Pre-feasibility Connection Study.
Client : An international energy company
Location : UK
Period Services Provided : September 2004


Project Summary

Our client is considering options for constructing a wind farm in the southeast of England.

LPA were asked to carry out a pre-feasibility investigation of the most practical and economic solutions for connection of the wind farm to the grid.

The possibility of connecting to the nearest distribution network was investigated and several options for making the connection explored. Capacity limitations of a distribution system connection option were defined together with typical costs for the alternative connection arrangements.
Alternative connections to nearby industrial plants were commented upon. Further options for connecting to the transmission system were defined but ruled out on the grounds of cost.
