FLIFER Solar

Ward County, West Texas

100 MW solar project in West Texas

Source: NREL

Highest solar irradiance in Texas

Located immediately adjacent an ONCOR 138kV electrical substation

Interconnection screening completed by ERCOT: Cleared for up to 96 MW ac

ERCOT calculated the N-1 transfer capability of the post-interconnection system by modeling incrementally larger generation transfers up to 96 MW (20% greater than the proposed 80 MW output of the project).  The study determined that, under N-1 contingency conditions, project had no limits up to 96 MW.

Study II determines the N-1 transfer limit if the nearby wind output is higher than it is assumed to be in the first study.    The study determined that, under N-1 contingency conditions, project had no limits up to 96 MW.

The interconnection point of the proposed generation project is at low risk for sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) with nearby series capacitors and a full SSR study is deemed not necessary at this point in time under expected grid conditions for the project’s in-service date timeline.
