Notes on site topography

Forest, rock and moraine ground, ready for construction in about 3 months.

Prevailing wind directions

Prevailing wind is South-Southwest. Detailed studies of wind description exists (2016). Also wind information for several years can be provided in very short notice.

2016:

South: 10,6 % (av. speed 3,2 m/s)

South-Southwest: 10,5 % (av 3,4 m/s)

Southwest: 5,9 % (av 3,6 m/s)

Natural water source available for cooling

If yes, distance to water source / [meters]

Notes on cooling options

Direct air cooling:

Ambient air conditions favor direct air cooling. With adiabatic cooling white space temperature does not exceed 25 °C

Cooling towers:

High stability due to low ambient wet bulb temperature. Makeup water available from the river

River water cooling:

Very high stability and efficiency. Cost-effective especially in larger scale.

Energy re-use:

Different excess heat users available. Excess heat can be used “as is” or as “upgraded” into higher temperature.

Type of ground

Forest, rock and moraine ground, ready for construction in about 3 months.

Levelling of plot

Type of forestry (if plot not levelled)

Mostly pine. The plot leveling can be negotiated with the owner; Municipality of Pyhtää.

First phase redundancy power availability

Notes on power supply

Next to the hydropower station (30 MW), Additional hydropower (5-7 MW) in close range, wind power up to 50 MW also available in the area.

When the decision of new DC is made, Fingrid has planned to build a new substation next to DC Site. There is a possibility to build a redundant solution from Fingrid (the main lines both 400 kW and 110 kW next to the site - redundant from both directions).
