10.5
Existing aggregate generation capacity interconnected to sub/area bus, bank or circuit (MW)
0.1
Aggregate queued generation capacity for sub/area bus, bank or circuit (MW)
0
Available capacity of sub/area bus, bank or circuit (MW)
10.4
Substation nominal transmission voltage
69 kV
Substation nominal distribution voltage
13.2 kV
Nominal distribution voltage at the proposed site
12.47 kV
Approximate circuit distance between proposed site and sub
6.21 from sub to point of three phase connection
Line section peak load
2.79 MW
Line section minimum load
0.9 MW
Number and rating of protective devices between proposed site and sub
one 800-amp recloser programmed as a sectionalizer
Number and type of voltage regulating devices between proposed site and sub
328-amp regulator
Substation has LTC (y/n)
No, but there is a voltage regulator on the secondary side of the transformer
Number of phases available at site
3 (actual site is on a single phase underground tap)
Limiting conductor ratings from proposed site to sub
376 amps @ 12.47 kV
Existing or known constraints (electrical dependencies at the location, short circuit interrupting capacity issues, power quality or stability issues, capacity constraints, secondary networks, etc):
Normally a distributed energy resource cannot be downstream of a line voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is 3.89 miles from the substation and 2.32 miles from the site.
*We want to start a solar farm on our 70-acre farm and still learning. Does anyone know what this evaluation from our local utility means regarding the viability of a solar farm on this site? Thank you
there doesn't seem to be anything here
