Project Experience

Midgard was retained by NU-E Corp to act as the Study Consultant for several proposed solar projects located in Alberta, including a 17 MW, 40 MW, 9 MW (Behind the Fence), 140 MW, and 300 MW connection projects. Midgard's role has involved conducting connection studies in collaboration with AESO, including power flow and short-circuit analyses in PSS/E. Power flow analysis was performed for high solar generation during summer peak and light loading scenarios, both pre- and post-project, with sensitivity analysis for summer peak loading. Short-circuit analysis covered pre- and post-project scenarios to assess short-circuit levels in the project's vicinity.Midgard is actively supporting these projects through AESO's new Connection Process "Cluster Assessments," preparing System Access Service Requests, Project Data Update Packages, and reviewing study scopes and project plans. The projects are currently in Stage 2 of the AESO connection process, with Midgard continuing to provide ongoing support as they progress through further stages. Additionally, for the 9 MW BTF solar project, Midgard conducted an anti-islanding screening study to meet AESO's Distributed Energy Resources ("DER") requirements.
