With the fast-tracked planned installations of Utility-Scale Inverter-Based Resource (IBR) Power Plants to the bulk power system, utilities, consultants, EPCs and developers are all seeking methods to standardize P&C designs and hasten execution. Many of these power plant designs incorporate a high voltage (HV) section or sections, pooling bus (PLB) section or sections and collector bus (CLB) sections. This paper will explore a typical power plant incorporating all these sections and suggest architectures for standardized yard-to-merging unit connectivity. As most of these power plants follow standardized approaches for the power infrastructure, the P&C also can provide a high degree of standardization
