SCOPE, METHODOLOGY AND
PROGRAMME
3.1 SCOPE
The scope of work is clearly set out in the ToR which is provided in Appendix A and includes:
1. Assessment of data provided by the project owner and the Kenyan Power Company;
2. Design of grid connection for the PV power system at Nyeri and building a grid connection
model for the site in PSS/E;
3. High level grid impact study;
4. Cost modelling for the grid connection design;
5. High level risk assessment on the technical feasibility of the grid connection infrastructure
design (i.e. routing and siting of grid connection infrastructure);
6. Overall evaluation on technical feasibility and cost for the grid connection defining the
preferred grid connection location from grid perspective and concluding if infeed of the PV
system at the existing grid is feasible;
7. Support the project with the (technical) discussions and presentation to Kenya Power
The proposed approach and methodology for delivering the scope are described below.
3.2 APPROACH
It is important that the requirements of Kenya Power are fully understood and that the studies fulfil
these requirements. We will therefore work closely with the Developer, Green Giraffe and Kenya
Power to ensure that these requirements are met. The approach will include:
An initial meeting with Kenya Power to understand their requirements in terms of grid studies
and design requirements towards securing a grid connection agreement.
A visit to the project site to assess the proposed transmission line route and grid connection
point.
Presentation of the study results and discussions with Kenya Power and the Developer
3.3 METHODOLOGY
3.3.1 ASSESSMENT OF DATA

Green Giraffe has already provided the following data associated with the project:
1. Maps showing the project location and the proposed transmission line route to the grid
connection substation.

Project No 70023737
Confidential

2. Photographs and single line diagram (SLD) of the proposed Kiganjo grid connection
substation.
3. Map showing the 33 kV and 11 kV distribution networks in Nyeri county.
4. Google Earth file showing project location and Kenya transmission grid
5. PSS/E files representing Kenya transmission network
6. Load data for Nyeri county
On commencement of the study, we will review the above data and will identify any outstanding
data requirements.
During the initial meeting with Kenya Power we will obtain the outstanding data and discuss in
detail the requirements of the grid study. The items to be covered at this meeting will include:
The Grid (Connection) Code requirements in relation to solar PV plants.

Guidelines for Grid Connection
The particular studies required to demonstrate grid code compliance.
The PSS/E models provided and the network/loading conditions they represent.
Any additional PSS/E model requirements. (The grid studies will need to consider both
maximum and minimum network loading conditions and associated generation dispatch and
take account of relevant network outages or switching conditions.)
Design requirements for the grid connection
Support for the site visit and access to Kiganjo transmission substation
The meeting with Kenya Power will be followed by a site visit to assess the feasibility of the
proposed transmission line route and the planned connection arrangement to Kiganjo substation.
We assume that a representative from Kenya Power will accompany the team on the visit.
3.3.2 DESIGN OF GRID CONNECTION

Following discussions with Kenya Power and review of the Grid Code and Guidelines for Grid
Connection, we will review the proposed grid connection and will consider any other potential
options. This will include consideration of: connection point, connection voltage, level of
redundancy required to meet Grid Code requirements.
We will also consider the key parameters of the connection, i.e. transmission line tower design,
conductor size, transformer and switchgear based on the existing infrastructure and Kenya Power
specifications. The need for reactive compensation will be determined during the grid impact
studies.
We understand that that the preliminary design of the solar PV park network will be provided by
one of the potential suppliers. We will produce SLDs showing the solar PV network and the
proposed grid connection. We will require the key electrical parameters of the solar PV plant
including:
Reactive power capability

Fault ride-through capability
Fault infeed to the grid
Harmonic current injection characteristics of the inverter
3.3.3 HIGH LEVEL GRID IMPACT STUDIES

The objectives of the grid impact studies are to:
Project No 70023737
Confidential
9
Confirm the key parameters of the proposed grid connection

Identify any reactive compensation requirements associated with the grid connection
Confirm that the impact on the network of the solar PV plant will not result in violation of the
Grid Code
The preliminary design of the solar park will be adequately represented in the PSS/E models in
order to conduct the grid impact studies. The grid studies consider all relevant operating
conditions and will include the following:
Load flow studies to assess the steady-state operation of the solar PV plant, confirming that
all equipment comprising the grid connection is able to operate within its thermal rating and
that voltages at the grid connection point and at the solar PV plant substation are within the
required limits specified by the Grid Code for steady-state operation. The load flow studies
will be conducted for both maximum and minimum demand conditions and will consider
contingency events in accordance with the Grid Code.
The load flow model will be used to determine the power loss between the solar PV plant and
the grid connection point for conditions of peak plant output. Based on the output profile of
the plant we will then calculate the annual energy losses in the grid connection.
Short-circuit studies will be conducted to determine maximum and minimum symmetrical and
asymmetrical fault levels both at the point of connection to the grid and at the solar PV plant.
These studies will confirm that the solar PV plant will not result in the fault levels exceeding
the rating of the switchgear at the grid connection point and will determine the minimum fault
level rating requirements for the solar PV plant substation switchgear.
The short-circuit studies will also provide the impedance and X/R ratio at the grid connection
point which will be used as the basis for assessment of harmonics, voltage fluctuation and
flicker. The minimum short-circuit levels will be the critical condition for the power quality
studies. We expect that the supplier will provide the harmonic characteristics of the proposed
plant. If not, we will base the studies on typical harmonic characteristics.
We would not expect the solar PV plant to have a significant impact on system frequency
however this will also be assessed.
3.3.4 LIFE-CYCLE COST

We will determine the costs associated with the grid connection including: investment cost,
operations and maintenance (O&M) cost and the cost of losses.
The investment cost (CAPEX) will be based on recent tender prices for similar equipment and the
O&M cost will be based on our experience. The cost of losses will be based on the peak power
and energy losses calculated as described above. We will discuss with the client how these
should be valued based on the estimated power plant CAPEX and levelised cost of electricity.
3.3.5 HIGH LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT

We will discuss with the client the parameters of the risk assessment. These could include:
Environmental or social impact risk associated with the transmission line route.
Risk of delay in ongoing transmission projects required for evacuation of power from the solar
PV plant (if applicable).
Risk of low local demand conditions resulting in excessive voltage rise during power
evacuation.
Risk of switchgear bay at proposed grid connection point being assigned to another project.

Project No 70023737

Following agreement on the grid connection related risks to be considered, we will assess the
likelihood and potential impact of each on the project.
3.3.6 OVERALL EVALUATION OF TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

The results of the above studies will be documented in a Draft Report, along with all input data,
assumptions and methodology. The report will describe the design of the grid connection and the
impact of the solar PV plant in relation to the Grid Code requirements. The report will also include
recommendations and advice for the next stage of the project.
We will also provide the PSS/E models used to conduct the studies, including the representation
of the solar PV plant and the grid connection.
3.3.7 SUPPORT DISCUSSIONS AND PRESENTATION

We will support the client with technical discussions and a presentation of the study results to
Kenya Power. We have allowed for a single one-day meeting in Nairobi for this presentation.
We will then take account of comments received from the client and from Kenya Power, make the
necessary changes to the study and issue the Final Report.
3.4 DELIVERABLES AND PROGRAMME

We will provide the Draft Report within 8 weeks of contract signature.
The Final Report will be provided within 2 weeks of receipt of all comments on the Draft Report.
The proposed schedule is subject to timely response of the Client to requests for data and
approval of deliverables.
The reports will be submitted in English language in electronic form (PDF).
As mentioned above, we have also allowed in our proposal for presentation of the Draft Report to
Kenya Power in Nairobi.

Terms of Reference: Grid study
This ToR describes the activities to be performed by an electrical expert (the Consultant) for the
grid study. The study will be performed in close cooperation between the project owner
Kumar&Associates and Kenya Power. As basis the Consultant is expected to use the results from a
site visit, information on the Kenyan power situation, data to be provided by Kenya Power and
specific information requested from the developer (in case necessary).
It is proposed to have coordination meetings during the site visit (at the start of the project) with
Kenya Power to agree on the network configurations and power system operation to be considered
in the studies. Furthermore, the requirements of the Kenyan Grid Code should be discussed to
establish a common understanding of the outcome of the network studies. Network data will be
handed over to the Consultant and detailed load and generation scenarios will be defined during
the data collection mission. Kenya Power will take care that the Consultant will receive the
required network data and the requirements for the grid study.
For the detailed modelling of grid connection designs the Consultant is expected to use PSS/E
software to perform grid studies. The Consultant will carry out a comprehensive grid connection
study analysing the potential impact on the grid of the solar system at Nyeri County. This study
will consist of the following elements:
1. Assessment of data provided by the project owner and the Kenyan Power Company;
2. Design of grid connection for the PV power system at Nyeri and building a grid connection
model for the site in PSS/E;
3. High level grid impact study;
4. Cost modelling for the grid connection design;
5. High level risk assessment on the technical feasibility of the grid connection infrastructure
design (i.e. routing and siting of grid connection infrastructure);
6. Overall evaluation on technical feasibility and cost for the grid connection defining the
preferred grid connection location from grid perspective and concluding if infeed of the PV
system at the existing grid is feasible;
7. Support the project with the (technical) discussions and presentation to Kenya Power
Ad 1. Assessment of data provided by the project and/or Kenyan Power

The grid connection study will be based on several types of information that have to be provided
by the developer and/or the Kenyan Power Company, namely the following:
Kenya Grid Code;
Guidelines for Grid Connection;
Grid connection location including grid characteristics (e.g. voltage characteristics,
frequency characteristics, X/R ratio, short circuit capacity, etc.);
Overview of high voltage network in the area including existing generators and areas of
demand in order to get a high level view on the feasibility for connecting at a certain
location into the network, the network design shall be provided by PSS/E files;
Generation and demand profiles over the year for the high voltage network in the area;
Draft routing from the PV system to the grid connection location;

Dynamic grid study assessing harmonics, voltage fluctuations (flicker) and frequency
fluctuations during various operational scenarios.
Ad 4. Cost modelling
The cost modelling shall form integral part of the assessment on the optimal grid connection
infrastructure design. The Consultant shall use its own cost database of equipment for up to date
pricing of equipment. With the overall assessment of the grid connection design the life cycle costs
for the infrastructure will be taken into account based on:
Investment costs for realization of the grid connection (CAPEX);
Estimate on operation and maintenance costs (OPEX);
Calculation of losses in the network.
Ad 5. High level risk assessment

Besides the costs modelling, also a high level risk assessment for the grid connection design shall
be performed to complete the feasibility study for the grid connection design. For this risk
assessment study discussions on the parameters and (local) constraints shall be held with the
