Two new wind farms in Andalusia will have ZIV protection, control and communication systems
- Location: Málaga & Cádiz, Andalucia, Spain
- Substations: S/E La Escalareta II y S/E La Estancia
- Promoter: Gamesa Energy
- EPC: Isastur
- Substation Automation System: ZIV
The wind farms will have twelve wind turbines, with a capacity of 32 megawatts (MW): nine turbines in La Escalereta II project in Malaga, and three turbines in La Estancia wind farm, located in Cádiz
Multifunction Protection in Medium Voltage Switchgear
Both wind farms will be maintained and operated by Siemens Gamesa for 20 years. They will have an ZIV integrated protection and control system, including multi-function protective relays installed in the medium voltage switchgear. In addition to all the equipment, ZIV will provide its engineering services for the development of electrical engineering, logic engineering, coordination studies and associated commissioning services, including a remote control desk and communications with different SCADAS.
