V6 is a testing workspace for early solar PV and BESS engineering review. It helps users expose assumptions before projects move into detailed design, procurement, EPC delivery or investment approval.
1. Site and grid screening
Assess where a solar or BESS project sits in relation to grid infrastructure, substations and likely connection logic.
2. Solar BESS topology review
Review the relationship between solar PV, BESS, inverters, transformers and the grid connection point.
3. Single line diagram thinking
Visualise early SLD logic across DC, AC, LV, MV and grid interface assumptions.
4. DC string level reasoning
Support early review of DC string voltage margin, inverter input assumptions and DC side configuration.
5. AC and LV interface review
Support review of LV AC assumptions, inverter feeder status, insulation basis and transformer connection logic.
6. Cable route assumption review
Study route assumptions before formal design and before procurement decisions harden.
7. Cable geometry visualisation
Inspect cable arrangement, grouping, routing, trench logic and physical layout behaviour.
8. Cable loss awareness
Expose how cable distance, arrangement and topology may affect electrical losses and project value.
9. Thermal assumption visibility
Flag whether thermal assumptions are complete, missing, uncertain or requiring formal review.
10. Protection assumption visibility
Flag whether protection assumptions are complete, incomplete or need engineering review.
11. Manufacturer data confirmation
Track whether cable, containment, inverter or equipment data has been confirmed.
12. Module layout review
Review physical PV module count, rating, footprint, row, pitch and layout assumptions.
13. Engineering risk status
Mark assumptions as status unknown, study required, review required or formal design required.
14. Commercial engineering linkage
Connect topology, cable distance, grid proximity and losses to CAPEX, revenue, profit, cashflow and IRR sensitivity.
15. Atlas V8 wider grid analysis
Open the standalone Atlas V8 app for wider UK grid, infrastructure, project pipeline and spatial screening analysis alongside the V6 solar BESS tools.
16. Renewables pipeline context
Open UK renewables pipeline analysis to compare site screening work against wider market and project pipeline context.
17. Cable price screening
Use 33 kV, LV AC and DC cable price references to connect early topology assumptions with commercial procurement awareness.
18. Power systems study process
Use the power systems studies reference to understand which formal studies sit beyond early V6 and V7 screening outputs.
19. MV and HV connection pathway
Use the MV and HV component reference to connect early site and grid screening with the practical connection process.
