Project Overview

Technicians from Noble Power Solutions were engaged to undertake pre-commissioning testing of the new 33kV reticulation system for the 124MW Sun Metals Solar Farm.

Due to their demonstrated competence and extensive experience in large-scale project commissioning, the scope of work was expanded to encompass all testing and commissioning activities, including commissioning management. This expanded scope involved:

  • Completing all high voltage pre-commissioning tasks:
    • Testing switchgear
    • Testing transformers
    • Testing protection and control systems
    • Testing high voltage cables
  • Conducting photovoltaic system testing
  • Integrating photovoltaic systems with vendor-supplied DC/AC inverter systems

Additionally, as part of the expanded scope, Noble Power Solutions was tasked with performing the hold point generator performance standard (GPS) tests for the generation system as output levels were increased to full capacity. During the GPS testing process, Noble Power Solutions technicians worked closely with the client, equipment manufacturers, consulting engineers, Network Service Providers, and AEMO to progress the project towards successful completion.
