DISCUSSION
Project Description
ATN Solar was incorporated in 2010 with a SEC authorized
capital stock of PhP100,000,000 and a planned capital stock increase
to PhP1.5 billion in 2014.
ATN Solar applied for interconnection of its proposed 30 MW
Solar PV Power Plant to the MERALCO's 34.5 kV distribution system.
The project will be located at Barangay Macabud, Rodriguez, Rizal.
Its power generation system will consist of PV arrays connected to 33
units of SMA SC900CP inverters, each with PV ratings of 900 kW. It
proposes to sell the generated power to the grid through its
connection to MERALCO's 34.5 kV distribution system.

Novaliches
44Y J
Ten (10) ATN inverters, with combined capacity of 9.0 MW, will
be connected to Novaliches 44Y J through a new 34.5 kV 3-phase line
with total length of 8.5 km. using 1-336.4 MCM ACSR per phase. The
new lines will traverse along Gregorio Araneta Avenue and Payatas
Road and cross-country. Around 6.8 km. of 3-phase lines along
Gregorio Araneta Avenue will also be reconductored to reduce line
losses. Shown below is the line re-configuration and connection point
of Novealiches 44Y J:

Diliman 435VU
Eight (8) ATN inverters, with combined capacity of 7.2 MW, will
be connected to Dilian 435 VU through a new 34.5 kV 3-phase line
with a total length of 10 km. using 1-336.4 MCM ACSR per phase.
The new lines will traverse along Litex Road, Mayon Avenue and
Payatas Road. Around 0.5 km. of 3-phase lines along Litex Road
must also be reconductored tb, reduce line losses. Shown below is
the connection point of Diliman.435VU:

Parang 412YL
Ten (10) ATN inverters, with combined capacity of 9.0 MW, will
be connected to Parang 412YL through a new 34.5 kV 3-phase line
with a total length of 16 km. using 1-336.4 MCM ACSR per phase.
The new lines will traverse along Gen. A. Luna Avenue, Rizal
Avenue, E. Rodriguez Avenue, Mayon Avenue and Payatas Road as
shown in the diagram below. Around 5.5 km. of 3-phase lines along
Bagong Silang and Gen. Antonio Luna Ave. will also be reconductored to reduce line losses. Shown below is the line reconfiguration and connection point of Parang 412YL:
