Project Background

The Philippines Terra Phase 1 West Project combines 1.4GWp of solar photovoltaic generation with 3.3GWh of battery energy storage, requiring a large-scale medium-voltage AC collection and power distribution system.

China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. (GEDI) serves as the EPC contractor for the project.

Anhui Tiankang Group was selected as the supplier for AC high-voltage cable Package 2, providing 35kV power cables with large conductor cross-sections together with a detailed cable ampacity test report. The contract value exceeded RMB 74.6 million (approximately USD 10.3 million), with deliveries scheduled from May to June 2025.

Project Challenges

Utility-Scale Solar Collection System

The project required an extensive 35kV AC collection system for collecting and distributing power generated by the solar PV facilities. The cable system needed to accommodate the project's high current requirements across a large-scale renewable energy installation.

Large Conductor Cross-Sections

The project required 35kV cables with conductor cross-sections of 400 mm², 500 mm², and 630 mm². These large cross-section cables require appropriate manufacturing capacity, process control, quality inspection, and handling during production and shipment.

Cable Ampacity Assessment

The project required a comprehensive cable ampacity test report based on applicable IEC requirements, covering current-carrying capacity under specified air and soil installation conditions.

The assessment included different ambient and soil temperatures, soil thermal resistivity values, and burial depth to support cable selection and ampacity evaluation for the project.

Export Logistics and Delivery Schedule

The cable package required export shipment from China to the Philippines, with delivery coordinated in three batches to match the project's construction schedule.

EPC Documentation Requirements

The project required technical and quality documentation including datasheets, factory inspection and test reports, material certificates, and other EPC project documentation.

Scope of Supply

Anhui Tiankang Group supplied a comprehensive AC high-voltage cable package for the Terra solar + storage project.

Engineering Solution

Cable Selection for Solar Farm Collection Systems

35kV power cables with 400 mm², 500 mm², and 630 mm² conductor cross-sections were supplied to meet the project's specified electrical requirements.

The cable constructions were selected according to the project specifications and applicable installation requirements for the 35kV collection system.

Cable Ampacity Assessment

A detailed cable ampacity test report was prepared based on applicable IEC requirements, providing calculated current-carrying capacities for the specified installation conditions.

The report covered both air and soil installation scenarios, including different thermal resistivity values, ambient temperature, soil temperature, and burial depth. This supported the project's cable selection and ampacity assessment.

Large-Scale Manufacturing & Quality Control

The project required 717.63 km of 35kV cables, including large conductor cross-sections up to 630 mm².

Tiankang's integrated cable manufacturing capability supported large-volume production, process control, factory inspection, and testing throughout the supply process.

EPC Documentation Package

Technical and quality documentation was provided to support EPC review and project documentation requirements, including datasheets, factory test reports, material certificates, inspection records, and relevant project documentation.

Export Logistics & Multi-Batch Delivery

The cables were prepared for international shipment from China to the Philippines, with delivery scheduled in three batches of approximately 30%, 30%, and 40% according to the project delivery schedule.
