A historic landfill website is to be redeveloped to create a photo voltaic farm as a part of the primary section of a inexperienced hydrogen infrastructure initiative being delivered by bp Aberdeen Hydrogen Power Restricted (bpAHEL), a three way partnership between Aberdeen Metropolis Council and bp.
RSK Renewables, an RSK Group firm, will work with bpAHEL on the venture on the previous Ness Landfill website, situated on Coast Street in Aberdeen, adjoining to Nigg Bay. Engineering design work has began on the website, with development anticipated to begin early within the new 12 months.
RSK Renewables Managing Director Adrian Strudwick stated the crew was enthusiastic about contributing to a venture that redevelops a historic landfill website to provide renewable vitality. He famous that it was additionally a part of the primary section of a inexperienced hydrogen infrastructure initiative being delivered by the bpAHEL three way partnership. It will present energy for a hydrogen manufacturing facility and refuelling station for buses and vehicles.
Adrian stated: “RSK Renewables is accountable for the engineering, procurement, development, commissioning and testing of the deliberate 8 MW photo voltaic farm. Guided by our in-house design and structural engineering groups, we recognized a customized ‘tree-type’ mounting system because the optimum answer. This progressive design minimises floor disturbance, preserving the integrity of the previous landfill’s protecting capping whereas securely and effectively supporting the photo voltaic array. With this answer additionally not requiring concrete or ballasted foundations, it allows the venture to be constructed with a diminished CO₂ affect.”
On the peak of the venture, the crew expects to have 50 to 60 individuals on-site, together with civil engineering and electrical specialists. RSK Renewables may even stay with the venture for 2 years as a part of the working and upkeep contract related to the venture.
The photo voltaic farm will function:
- 1 Sungrow medium-voltage station – this steps up the voltage to permit energy to be transmitted and related to the grid
- 16 Sungrow inverters – changing direct present energy into medium-voltage energy
- 11,362 Trina photo voltaic modules – the means by which daylight is transformed to electrical energy.
Different RSK Group corporations contributing to the venture embrace RSK Benefit (pre-contract providers) and RSK Asbestos (offering on-site monitoring providers in relation to the previous landfill website).
