Connecting Wind Farms to the Distribution Grid using ReclosersPractical Application Demonstrated in the Philippines
18 February 2019 – Evolution in switchgear technology has simplified
renewable connection as demonstrated by a new Wind Farm in the
Philippines connected to the grid using a NOJA Power OSM Recloser.
This installation at Romblon in early 2019 forms part of local initiatives for
sustainable energy development.
Providing Auto-Synchronisation, Synchrocheck and conventional
protection functions, the OSM Recloser was selected as the connection
switchgear to address all challenges of renewable connection.

NOJA Power OSM Recloser Point of Connection for a Philippine Wind Farm
NOJA Power’s OSM Recloser system has been deployed in multiple
renewable and distributed generation connection projects, including Solar
and reclaimed gas power stations. For applications that require only
protection and control, the Pole mounted OSM Recloser system provides
a cost-effective complete solution. If metering or differential protection is
required, the NOJA Power GMK provides a complete assembled solution
including an OSM Recloser with all auxiliary control and metering
capabilities incorporated in a single mobile ground mount platform.

Renewable connection applications typically require sensing on both
sides of the open connection to facilitate synchronised connection of the
renewable asset to the network. NOJA Power’s OSM Recloser provides
this feature as standard, allowing for an off-the-shelf product to address
complex connection requirements. NOJA Power’s OSM Recloser is a
comprehensive system, comprised of the primary switchgear and
secondary RC10 Control System. The RC10 provides all protection,
automation and communications features typically required in renewable
applications, simplifying commissioning and minimising installation capital

“As our customers increase their focus on a sustainable future, renewable
energy connections to the distribution grid are becoming more and more
common globally,” says NOJA Power Group Managing Director Neil
O’Sullivan. “NOJA Power has engineered out of the box solutions to
simplify the connection of large-scale renewable energy to the distribution
grid.”
The President and CEO of PESIN Jojo Conde added, “Power Equipment
& Supplies has been supplying NOJA Power reclosers in the Philippines
for almost 2 decades. The applications have evolved from simple
distribution circuit breakers to fully integrated remote controlled smart grid
solutions with the latest applications being to connect large scale
renewable energy to the distribution grid.”
