1 MW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System for Crude Oil Terminal

MECIP successfully delivered the Detailed Engineering Design (DED) for a 1 MW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System for Crude Oil Terminal, supporting the client’s initiative to enhance energy efficiency and integrate renewable energy into its operational facilities.

The project encompassed a comprehensive engineering assessment and design of the complete solar PV system, including electrical power system studies, solar PV array sizing, inverter selection, protection coordination, load flow analysis, short circuit analysis, relay coordination, arc flash assessment, and overall power system performance evaluation using industry-leading engineering software.

MECIP also performed detailed solar resource assessment and energy yield simulation using PVsyst to optimize system performance and maximize long-term energy generation. In addition, geotechnical investigations, including soil resistivity analysis using the Four-Pin Wenner Method, were undertaken to support the design of an effective grounding and lightning protection system.

The engineering scope further included detailed civil and structural design for the solar PV installation, ground grid system design, cable routing, equipment layout, and integration with the existing electrical infrastructure, ensuring compliance with applicable engineering standards, safety requirements, and operational constraints.

Through this project, MECIP demonstrated its multidisciplinary engineering capabilities in renewable energy, electrical power systems, civil and structural engineering, and sustainable infrastructure development, delivering a technically robust and reliable solar energy solution that supports cleaner energy generation and long-term operational sustainability.
