Electrical substation connected to local transport network (EHV)

Located in the Somme department, the Hypercourt EHV substation enables the energy generated by two wind farms (45.6MW) to be transferred via a 63kV/33kV transformer with 50 MVA ONAF of power.

To comply with RTE’s specifications on absorption or production of reactive energy, a compensation system (STATCOM) has been installed, allowing an additional capacity of +/- 4 MVAR.

The entire EHV substation (EHV and HV components, transformers, RTE exchanges, etc.) are monitored via the site’s Digital Control System.

The System Management department monitors all of this equipment to ensure that the site is operating correctly.

Wind farm

Located in Guadeloupe, the St Rose wind farm has several features:

  • 8 GAMESA wind turbines (16 MW);
  • Two lithium-ion battery storage systems (5.5 MWh);
  • An energy management system (EMS) that automatically:
    • Obtains weather forecast data and wind turbine operating status;
    • Establishes a production schedule (D+1 and D+2) and sends it to the distribution system manager;
    • Ensures compliance with the production schedule (battery charge/discharge, wind turbine clamping);
    • Two generators to maintain power supply to wind turbines during a cyclone;

The System Management department monitors all of this equipment (cyclical checks, function tests) to ensure the site is operating correctly.

Photovoltaic park

Located on a former NATO military base in the Aube department, VALEMO operates the LASSICOURT photovoltaic park.

This 17 MWp power project consists of:

  • 39,060 photovoltaic panels mounted on 1,867 solar trackers;
  • 4 central inverters;
  • 1 electrical substation to transfer output to the distribution network.
    A monitoring system, developed by VALEMO’s Technical Engineering department, which enables the System Management department to see all the equipment operating in real-time.

Hydroelectric power plant

Since September 2020, VALEMO has been operating the 16 hydropower plants that make up the Caribbean Hydropower portfolio (10.4 MW).

A feature of the majority of these power plants is that they are installed on water networks used for agricultural plantation irrigation and the production of drinking water.

These features pose an additional challenge for the System Management department that monitors these sites.
