Two of the three windfarm developers have subsequently asked about the prospect of increasing their generation capacity in the future and if any spare head room capacity might be available.
The installation offers a rare opportunity to consider the dynamic ratings for three parallel adjacent cable circuits and the prospect for a future trial of active network management for Distributed Generation (DG), with a view to accommodating further renewable generation without network reinforcement.
This project will help inform future cable rating calculations for other projects which could negate or postpone the requirement for upgrading or reinforcing the distribution system.
