New 69kV to 34.5kV Substation to Step Up Power for New Iowa Wind Generation Facility

35kV Collector Bus Side of Substation

Project Scope:
Design, supply, install and commission a total system including 69kV power transformer, relaying and protection, steel, switches and power circuit breakers. PSD provided all engineering, project management, site management and start-up.

Design Factors:
PSD provided an interface with hosting utility to ensure they would allow the facility to be energized when needed.

Key Issues:   

The schedule was extremely tight. The facility needed to be
energized in time to allow for wind turbine commissioning.

Engineering & Construction Solutions:
PSD compressed the schedule to allow for on-time energization and successful commercial operation of the wind park.                      69kV Transmission Side of Substation
