Projects

Providing Professional Service for High-Voltage industrial applications throughout Australia.

Robin Johnson Engineering has taken part in many industrial projects across Australia. Robin Johnson Engineering supervises projects in various areas of the industrial sector mainly comprising Mining, Wind Power Generation, Mineral Processing and the Primary industries.

RJE has undertaken a large number of projects with the following being a small number of examples:

Waubra Wind Farm (VIC)

Design, Construction and Commissioning

Waubra Wind Farm 013.jpg

The Waubra Wind Farm is located near the township of Waubra, approximately 30km North West of Ballarat. It consists of 128 Acciona Windpower 1.5MW turbines located north and south of the Sunraysia Highway.

The wind farm electrical network interfaces to the turbines with a transmission grid comprising a 220 kV/66 kV terminal station, 66 kV overhead subtransmission system, five 66 kV/12kV collector substations and a 12 kV underground collector network.

For this project RJE is responsible for the Design, Engineering, Construction and Commissioning of:

  • Cable Trenching
  • Substation Design and Construction
  • HV Network Analysis with EDSA Software
  • HV Cable Installation and Termination
  • HV Protection Relays and Programming
