This methodology describes the basic process to design a step-up substation which is connected to a solar PV plant. It also presents the main steps to find the electrical characteristics of a substation.
We'll dive deep in the structure we followed to design a substation, evaluating pros and cons of each alternative.
If you're reviewing if RatedPower is the right fit for your business, this document will provide you with a solid technical knowledge for engineering assessment.
