Power Projects Secures Grid Compliance Studies for a 31.82 MW Solar Plant with 23.4 MWh BESS
We are pleased to announce that Power Projects has been awarded a comprehensive Grid Compliance Study for a 31.82 MW (AC) solar power plant integrated with a 23.4 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
The study will assess the plant’s electrical performance and grid interaction, supporting compliance with applicable grid connectivity requirements and reliable integration of solar generation and battery energy storage into the power network.
About the Study
The assignment involves detailed power system modelling and simulation using PSS®E and PSCAD to evaluate the plant’s steady-state performance, power quality, and dynamic response under different grid operating conditions.
The analysis will cover reactive power capability, fault current contribution, harmonic performance, voltage ride-through behaviour, frequency response, and active power ramping capability. Plant-level benchmarking will also be carried out to assess consistency between the RMS and EMT simulation models.
Scope of Work
- PSS®E and PSCAD Plant Modelling and Model Validation
- Steady-State Analysis and Reactive Power Capability Assessment
- Short Circuit Study
- Power Quality Studies, including Harmonic Analysis, DC Current Injection, and Flicker Assessment
- Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) Study
- High Voltage Ride Through (HVRT) Study
- Operating Frequency Range Assessment
- Frequency Response Study
- Active Power Ramping Capability Assessment
- RMS and EMT Dynamic Simulations
- Plant-Level Benchmarking Using PSS®E and PSCAD
- Assessment of Plant Performance at the Point of Interconnection (POI)
Key Outcomes
The studies will provide a comprehensive assessment of the solar-plus-BESS plant’s ability to meet applicable grid connectivity requirements under different operating conditions and grid disturbances.
The analysis will help evaluate reactive power support, power quality performance, dynamic response, frequency regulation capability, and voltage ride-through behaviour, supporting reliable grid integration and stable operation.
This project award further strengthens Power Projects’ expertise in Grid Compliance Studies, RMS and EMT Simulations, Renewable Energy Integration, and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Studies.
We thank our client for the trust and opportunity and look forward to delivering technically robust engineering solutions that support reliable and compliant renewable energy integration.
