Enspec Power Limited has announced another successful power system study project, this time for the Beinn an Tuirc Phase 3 wind farm on the Kintyre peninsular in Scotland. The study was conducted in parallel to another Enspec project to supply a Shunt Reactor for the SSE plc connection of the wind farm to the National Grid. Grid code compliance is always an issue for wind farms because of the complex switching requirements, and Enspec has built a reputation for analysing, modelling and designing wind farm switching systems. Enspec Director, Tim Rastall, said, "It's important to [carry out] model switching at an early stage, otherwise you can store up delays for later in the project. We're increasingly carrying out studies early in projects, but we're also still seeing projects dealing with unforeseen grid code compliance issues late in the project and needing studies very quickly to get them back on track with a solution."
