Project context

Recovery engagement for a 1.5 MW industrial photovoltaic plant in Cali, Colombia, that was suffering critical operational issues. Root-cause analysis supported by NEPLAN simulation identified the faults, and the mitigation measures restored full generation capacity.

Scope of work

Root-cause analysis of the operational issues affecting the 1.5 MW array.
NEPLAN simulation of the plant's electrical system to reproduce the fault conditions.
Definition and implementation of fault mitigation measures.
Verification of restored generation capacity.
