Technical planning
Generation, storage, demand and the grid connection influence each other. IVATION translates project objectives into coordinated technical planning, from system design and site layout to cable routes, protection and control interfaces.
Your outcome
We bring technical decisions together in a traceable planning framework. The agreed scope connects calculations, concepts and interfaces with site, permitting and grid requirements, creating a consistent basis for tendering and execution.
We consider generation, storage and demand together. Electrical architecture, the export concept and protection requirements are coordinated. Where relevant, the connection of an electrolyser to PV, wind generation and the grid becomes part of the overall concept.
Module sizing, land use and expected yield are considered together. DC/AC planning and export arrangements account for the grid connection and potential storage. This applies to rooftop and ground-mounted projects, including suitable agri-PV, floating-PV and hybrid concepts.
Storage sizing follows the load profile and intended application. We assess technical requirements for peak shaving, grid cost optimisation and grid services. EMS integration and direct electricity marketing requirements inform the interface planning.
Grid compatibility, load flow, transformer stations and switchgear are connected to the overall connection concept. We plan cable sizing and routes and coordinate requirements with grid operators. For wind projects, turbine layout, cable routes and protection need to work together.
Detailed engineering and plant controls need to align. We structure the technical interfaces between generation, storage, the grid connection and supervisory control. SCADA requirements and subsequent commissioning are considered during planning.
Before we start
Yes. We can join an existing project and deliver an agreed partial scope. We first assess the design status, available calculations and unresolved interfaces.
Site documents, the plant concept, load profiles and grid connection information are helpful. Together, we define the engineering disciplines and coordination needed for the next project stage.
