Clocaenog Forest Windfarm Substation

This dataset shows Clocaenog Forest Windfarm Substation Location. The location of the on-site substation. This is where transformers change the 33kV input from the wind turbines to a 132kV rating for use in the National Grid. This the final true data received from the developer ((RWE Renewables UK Limited) signifying the end of the construction phase.

Metadata Language: English

Lineage: GIS data provided to NRW for the Clocaenog Forest Windfarm project is all derived from GPS surveys undertaken at various stages of the construction process (June 2018 to September 2020): 1. Site Civils (e.g. turbine locations, track edge, crane hard-standings, culverts, coupe crossing points and all general civils detail etc. etc.): acquired by the Principal Contractor, Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK LTD, as part of the final 'As-built' survey undertaken post construction. A dual-frequency survey grade GPS was used. 2. Dual transformer 132kV substation to enable the 96MW of power generated from the wind turbines to be exported to the National Grid: this was installed by subcontractor Powersystems UK and the locations were surveyed at installation using a survey grade GPS. Drawings were issued as AutoCAD dwg and converted to ArcGIS shape files to OSGB 1936 / British National Grid coordinate system/projection. Whilst all surveys are theoretically accurate to about 0.5m (when related to OSGB/OSTN2) some uncertainties were identified: given the size of the site, the complex terrain, and the degradation of GPS in dense forestry, an overall accuracy of +/- 2m should be assumed.
