Field-tested engineering guidance on MV contracting, substations, solar and BESS electrical works across Türkiye.
A small installation error in a medium-voltage cable termination triggers partial discharge and can cause a failure months later. We cover the most common mistakes and the VLF, tan delta and PD tests to run before energization.
Solar payback equals total investment cost divided by annual net energy savings. We explain the formula, yield estimates, self-consumption and every variable that moves the result, step by step in engineering terms.
When one technical point of contact manages every electrical scope from site survey to commissioning, the owner's coordination burden and interface risks disappear. Here is how the six-step turnkey model works.
The load profile decides which harmonic filter a plant needs: active filters suit variable, broad-spectrum harmonics, while passive filters suit specific dominant orders. Correct design starts with an on-site measurement.
The right compensation strategy starts with load profile analysis, harmonic measurement and the choice of a fixed, automatic or hybrid system. Incorrect sizing leads to resonance and capacitor damage.
How foreign investors and EPC contractors on Turkish solar, wind and BESS projects work with a local electrical subcontractor: regulations, IEC alignment, the interface matrix, imported equipment and as-built handover.
A contractor's view of grid connection in Turkey for solar, wind and BESS plants: transmission vs distribution, the order of agreements, who builds the line, protection, metering, SCADA, first energization and provisional acceptance.
What does the site electrical (BOS) scope of a ground-mounted solar plant in Türkiye include? DC cabling, combiner boxes, inverter-transformer stations, the MV collection network, grounding and commissioning checks.
How do you verify a Turkish MV contractor's certificates, read its references and level competing bids? A practical checklist in six areas for investors, EPC firms and facility owners building in Türkiye.
Which documents does a TEDAŞ acceptance file need, what does the acceptance committee check on site, and why are applications returned? A step-by-step guide to substation acceptance in Türkiye.
Adding a BESS to an operating solar plant or building a hybrid one? This engineering decision guide shows how AC- and DC-coupled designs change transformers, MV switchgear, protection, metering and cabling.
Who handles which electrical work in a BESS installation? We break down the responsibility matrix between battery supplier, EPC and electrical contractor: DC/AC cabling, grounding, fiber and handover tests.
How is the MV collector system laid between wind turbines, where are cable joints and terminations made, and how does turbine grounding tie into the site grid? A field guide from trench to energization.
Busbar trunking or cable and tray: which is right for factory power distribution? We compare load density, cost, fire safety and flexibility, and explain what matters most during busbar installation.
Miratek is delivering the electrical works for the battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Killik wind farm in Türkiye: DC cabling, PCS and battery installation, grounding, and commissioning tests.
A periodic inspection plan that combines grounding testing, infrared thermal scans and reports comparable year over year protects personnel safety and operational continuity in industrial facilities.
A step-by-step guide to unlicensed solar power plant applications in Türkiye: connection application, call letter, project approval, connection agreement and provisional acceptance, plus the 5 MW limit and 2026 hourly netting.
We compare dry-type and oil-immersed power transformers on cooling, fire safety, losses, maintenance and cost, and explain from an engineering standpoint which type is the right choice for which application.
Connecting a plant in a Turkish organized industrial zone (OIZ) means load assessment, an MV connection agreement, a substation with MV switchgear, and acceptance. We explain the documents, requirements and steps.
What is medium-voltage (MV) switchgear, which types exist and how do you choose the right one? An engineering guide covering feeder, metering and transformer protection panels, AIS vs. GIS and IEC 62271-200.
A reactive power compensation panel is a low-voltage panel that supplies a facility's reactive power locally from capacitor steps and corrects its power factor. Here is how it works and what is inside.
What drives transformer substation installation cost? From transformer type and rating to MV switchgear, kiosk construction and TEDAŞ approval, we break down every cost factor from an engineering perspective.
A SCADA system monitors and controls electrical data in real time across transformer substations, solar power plants and industrial facilities. We explain how it works, its components and its role in energy monitoring.
What does a rooftop solar installation in Türkiye involve? Feasibility, roof structural checks, the unlicensed generation application, installation, grid connection and commissioning, step by step.
Grounding resistance testing verifies that an installation's grounding is low-resistance and continuous. Learn why it is legally required in Türkiye, how it is measured and how often it must be repeated.
A reactive power penalty is charged when a facility's inductive or capacitive reactive energy exceeds the regulatory limit. Learn how it is calculated in Türkiye, which ratios matter and how compensation prevents it.
Power distribution infrastructure in Türkiye's organized industrial zones (OIZs) is being modernized and digitalized at a faster pace. Here is what drives it and what next-generation investments cover.
An energy monitoring system tracks consumption in real time with power analyzers and IoT sensors, flags harmonic distortion and reactive penalty risk early, and can be added to existing panels.
A solar feasibility study shows, before capital is committed, whether a plant will deliver its expected yield. It weighs land, irradiation, grid capacity and cost, and catches the mistakes that erode returns.
Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures how far grid voltage and current deviate from a pure sine wave. We explain THD-V vs THD-I, TDD, measurement methods and IEEE 519 and IEC 61000 limits in engineering terms.
How do you modernize an aging transformer substation? Condition assessment, digital protection relays, SF6-free switchgear, remote monitoring and turnkey delivery, explained step by step.
