Grid Development

This Document is to be read in conjunction with report “Cable
Feasibility Report”.
It has been prepared to collate and detail the numerous CYMCAP
simulations that have been performed to support the EirGrid
Kildare-Meath Grid Upgrade / CP966 project.

This report presents the technical feasibility assessment for the two
Underground Cable (UGC) circuit options between Dunstown and Woodland
substations. The following solutions are analyzed:
• New 220kV circuit (1 conductor per phase) solutions
• New 400kV circuit (1 conductor per phase) solutions
• New 400kV circuit (2 conductors per phase) solutions
