The report describes the design and implementation of a 37.75 MWp utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) plant in Kianga, Queensland. Key details of the project are as follows:
Key Features:
- High-Efficiency Modules: The Trina panels offer improved energy yield and are equipped with advanced technologies for harsh environments.
- Grid Connection: Designed to comply with Queensland’s utility regulations and ensure seamless integration with the existing electrical network.
- Power Distribution: The power generated is stepped up for high-voltage transmission through a 20 MVA transformer.
| Project Overview: Project Name: Kianga QLD Utility Project Location: Kianga, Queensland (-24.51°S, 150.06°E) Total Installed Capacity: 37.75 MWp (32.5 MWac) Contractor: Tyree Energy Pty | System Specifications PV Modules: Trina TSM DE20 605W panels Number of Modules: 62,400 Module Tilt: Single-axis 2P tracking system Orientation: East-West Inverters: 13 Sungrow SG2500 HV/MV inverters Substation: 22 kV/66 kV substation with multiple transformers for transmission output |
System Layout:
- Single-axis tracking allows for optimized solar energy generation throughout the day.
- The system uses 550V/22kV step-up transformers to connect to the 66kV transmission grid.
- Weather monitoring and communication systems are integrated for performance monitoring and fault detection.
The report focuses on the plant’s design, including both DC and AC single-line diagrams, showing how the PV arrays, inverters, and transformers are interconnected for optimal performance and grid compliance.
