Emu Photovoltaic Park

Description: The Emú Photovoltaic Park Project corresponds to a new Project that consists of the construction and operation of a photovoltaic park and a 13.2 KV medium voltage line. The Project will be located in the Region of Libertador Generar Bernardo O'Higgins, in the Province of Cardenal Caro, commune of Marchigüe. The Project will be located on an area of approximately 19.09 hectares designated for the solar park, and 23.45 m correspond to the medium voltage power line. The Photovoltaic Park considers a total installed power of 10.8 MWp to inject 9 MW of nominal power. For this, the installation of 18,630 solar panels of 580 Wp of power each is considered. The plant technology will be single-axis followers and bifacial module. To adapt the power generated in direct current by the photovoltaic panels to alternating current, 3 transformation centers and 27 inverters will be used, which will be distributed in investment-transformation centers within the photovoltaic park, which will include a modular energy storage system of 16 Batteries. To transmit and inject the generated energy into the grid, the Project will connect to the Nueva Trinidad substation and a line, corresponding to the connection point with the National Electric System (SEN). Access to the solar plant will be from route H-76, from which the Project area will be entered. The Emú Photovoltaic Park project aims to build and operate a new Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant with a nominal power of 9 MW to generate electrical energy from the use of solar energy through the implementation of solar panels, and inject it into the National Electrical System ( SEN) the energy generated, through a 13.2 kV medium voltage line. It should be noted that the injection of energy to the SEN will contribute to the fulfillment of the decarbonization and diversification goals in the national energy matrix, highlighting the contribution to the Energy Policy 2050 of the Ministry of Energy, which seeks to have a matrix where Non-Conventional Renewable Energies (ERNC) have a representation of 70%, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 20,698/2013 of the Ministry of Energy. Likewise, it contributes to the reduction of harmful gas emissions into the atmosphere (CO2, SOx, NOx) through the use of natural resources for energy generation, along with satisfying the growing energy demand by injecting energy into the SEN.
