VANSYCLE WIND PROJECT
Helix, Oregon
OWNER: FPL ENERGY
North Palm Beach, Florida
TriAxis provided the design of twin overhead and underground 34.5-kV power collection circuits (one for each string of wind turbine generators) with pad mount step-up transformers. The project included approximately 4 miles of underground 34.5-kV cable and 4 miles of 34.5-kV overhead transmission line with twin multi-fiber communication cables, one for each string of wind turbine generators. The project included design of a 34.5/69-kV, 25 MVA step-up substation, with control/SCADA building, dual 34.5-kV circuit breakers, power autotransformer, and 69-kV circuit switcher to tap the existing 69-kV BPA transmission line.
TriAxis provided all electrical system design services, services during construction, bid reviews and contract award recommendations. Construction plan/profile and assembly drawings were developed using the latest version of AutoCAD software. Other software, such as Alcoa’s SAG-TEN program, was used to check conductor sizing and other design aspects.
