Grid Development

This Environmental Constraints Report has been prepared to
identify the environmental constraints that should be
considered for the Kildare-Meath Grid Upgrade / CP966
project.

This Social Impact Assessment Scoping Report has been
prepared to identify the social impacts that could occur
as a result of the Kildare-Meath Grid Upgrade / CP966
project and to assess the three technologies under
consideration.

We have previously (in Step 1) identified that we need to
strengthen the transmission network between Dunstown and
Woodland stations. In Step 3, this need has been reviewed
and is still robust.

The studies associated with cable integration cover:
1- Steady state load flow studies for the determination of reactive
compensation
2- Frequency domain studies to establish harmonic voltage magnification and
potential breaches, and
3- Time domain studies to check possible temporary overvoltages (TOV) and
zero-cross missing phenomenon during cable energisation.
