Description of Large Generating Facility including Point of Interconnection. The Large Generating Facility is a 74 MW wind power facility that will employ thirty-seven Gamesa 2 MW wind-turbine induction generators. Each of the thirty-seven units has a reactive power capability corresponding to a power factor range of 0.95 lagging to 0.95 leading (at the generator terminals) giving a gross plant reactive capability of +24 MVAR to -24 MVAR (sum of unit capabilities). Each generator operates at 0.69 kV and is connected to a generator step-up transformer (GSU) to increase voltage to the 34.5 kV collection system voltage. Each GSU is a three-phase grounded-wye / delta transformer rated 0.690/34.5 kV, 2350 kVA. Each GSU is connected to a collection system that has a total of three (3) 34.5 kV collector circuits. Two collector circuits each have twelve (12) wind turbines connected, while the third collector circuit has thirteen (13) wind turbines connected. The Large Generating Facility will interconnect to Transmission Owner’s Valley-Inghams #3 115 kV transmission line. The Point of Interconnection will be approximately 5.38 miles from the Valley Station and 7.01 miles from the Inghams Station. The Large Generating Facility will be located in the Towns of Fairfield, Norway and Little Falls in Herkimer County, New York. The Point of Interconnection is identified on Figure 1, in Appendix A.
