BASIC ENGINEERING OF CIVIL AND ELECTRICAL WORKS OF THE HOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT

Región IV de Coquimbo, Chile

The basic engineering of the Explotadora Agrícola Agro Ex-Tololo Lda. Solar Plant includes the civil and electrical design of a 3 MW photovoltaic power plant in the Quebrada de Tambo, Region IV de Coquimbo, Chile.

The scope of the works developed by ESTEYCO covers:

• Development of a solar resource assessment and energy yield estimation through SolarGIS  simulation software.
• Drafting of documents for the environmental authorizations.
• Basic design of the plant’s civil works, including earth movements, roads and drainage.
• Basic design of the plant’s electrical works (LV-DC, LV-AC, MV), including communication and earthing systems.
• Basic design (civil and electrical) of the medium voltage distribution line between the solar plant and the coupling point.
• Development of electrical studies.
• Drafting of documents for the Request for Grid Connection (Solicitud de Conexión a la Red, SCR) according to Chilean PMGD (Pequeños y Medios grupos de Generación Distribuida ) regulation.
