Collector Substation & Switchyard.
Pooling substations and switchyards that evacuate renewable plants to the grid. They carry the plant's grid obligations.
Types We Engineer.
No two Collector Substation & Switchyard Projects are the same. Here is what changes from one type to the next.
Pooling Substation
Several plants feeding one grid connection.
What We Focus On- Coordinated protection and metering
- Grid code compliance at the pooling point
Plant Switchyard
A single plant's step-up and export point.
What We Focus On- Step-up transformer and switchgear
- Protection and SCADA interface
Where This Asset Sits.
The Substations, Lines & Grids power chain, and this asset's place in it.
Is This Where You Are?
Choose your role to see what we do and what to read next.
Grid code, harmonic and reactive power studies alongside the collector design.
Coordinated protection and metering across every connection.
What We Deliver for This Asset.
Each line links to the Service that delivers it.
Across the Project Stages.
Where each part of the work sits in the life of a Collector Substation & Switchyard.
Standards and Compliance.
We engineer to the standards and regulations that govern the Project, fixed in the design basis.
Typical references for this asset: IEC 61936-1, IEC 62271, IEC 61850, IEEE 80, IEC 60909, IEEE 1584.
