Scottish Power - Increase Windfarm Capacity by 20 Percent
3 Pages1 Bandweaver Dynamic Cable Rating increases potential capacity of windfarm by 20% THE SCENARIO Scottish Power connected three windfarms at 33kV to East Kilbride South 275/33kV substation in an area where there is significant windfarm activity. The project involved the installation of a DTS fibre optic system concurrently with the installation of the underground power cables of four windfarms connected at 33kV from East Kilbride South substation, namely Dungavel, Calder Water, West Brown Castle and Ardoch & Over Enoch windfarms. In order to minimise costs the three cable connections shared a common trench for the initial 10.7km length from the substation and they are also in close proximity to two existing Whitelee windfarm 275kV cables.. 2 Figure 1 - Overvie
