Balpara was engaged by Yurika to complete a sub-transmission line design package, including design reports, drawings and certifications, to enable the construction of the 66kV transmission line between the Winton Solar Farm Substation and the Glenrowan Terminal Station.

Project Overview

Located near the Glenrowan Terminal Station in Central North Victoria, the Winton Solar Farm will convert energy from solar radiation into electrical energy through a series of photovoltaic (PV) solar modules and DC to AC inverters.

Balpara’s contribution to this project ensures the creation of a sub-transmission line design package that enables the construction of the 66kV line in accordance with AusNet connection agreement and standards.

Project Scope

• Detailing survey and design calculations of a new double circuit 66kV sub-transmission line that will under-cross the existing 220kV transmission lines coming out of the Terminal Station.
• Creating survey and design calculations of aerial earth and ADSS FOC between Glenrowan Terminal Station and Winton Solar Farm Substation.
• Designing underground FOC selection and overhead powerline route selection between Winton Solar farm and Glenrowan Terminal Station.
• Designing structural cable support for the substations.
• Preparation of detailed electrical as built drawings to AusNet standards.
• All design certifications completed to AusNet standards.

Value Add

Balpara was recommended for this project due to its long-standing relationship with the relevant utility, and previous successes in delivering projects in a timely, professional manner that has mitigated potential delays in construction.

Relevant Accreditation/Quality Standards

Balpara is ISO9001 certified and AusNet accredited for surveying, design and drafting.
