Project Description
Due to increasing renewable energy standards set by RES, Black & Veatch is sponsoring a senior design project to design a 60 MW grid-tied solar power plant with an attached 115/34.5 kV substation. The senior design team will be responsible for designing both parts of the project including the solar layout, substation component, and associated deliverables. Deliverables consist of equipment sizing calculations, solar layout CAD drawings, solar panel sizing, protection, control schematics, project expenses and project schedules.
The first semester of the design project will consist mainly of solar plant sizing, layout, substation layout, material sizing and budget. The second semester will consist of final design revisions, optimization and presentation. Black & Veatch, our client, will also provide conceptual engineering support to manage the large scale of this design.
