3. Contract Type: Works
4. Description: WC1043344 – Provision of Solar PV Array, Dhekelia:

The works include a proposed new Photovoltaic PV Park with capacity 875KW to be located in Dhekelia within the SBAA in Cyprus. The PV Park will be connected to the 11kV Network, through the incorporation of a new substation dedicated for the PV park, and the extension of the HV ring cable to facilitate the connection to the new substation, all without the need for any power cuts to the garrison. The distance of the proposed location for the new substation to the existing site HV ring is around 620m.

Provisions for the future extension of the PV park have also been taken into consideration by adding two future MV feeders to the new substation. Space has also been allocated at the substation building for the installation of 2 No. transformers and LV panels to allow for the future expansion of the park.

Proposed PV System

The PV system proposed shall have:
– A fixed type of installation with aluminium supporting structures with two PV panels on each frame and a stable inclination angle of 30 degrees from ground.
– The PV panels will be of 600Wp capacity each.
– The Inverters proposed are of capacity 100kW, 400V, 50Hz.
They are proposed to be installed in small weatherproof electrical rooms along the area of the PV panels.

The PV System in figures:
– 9No INVERTERS X 9No STRINGS X 18No PANELS = 1,458No. PV PANELS
– 1,458No PANELS X 0.6KW = 875KW
– EACH INVERTER: 18No PV PANELS X 9No STRINGS X 0.6KW = 97.2kW< 100KW
– 18No PANELS X 42.25 V = 815 < 1100 V
