    Default scientific paragraph

    Hola,

    I'm trying to translate a scientific paragraph
    I've modified the translation by Google translate and I just need help to correct some grammar and the structure of the sentence:

    here is the result:

    Un estudio de pre factibilidad de un proyecto de planta solar se lleva a cabo para estudiar y buscar la mejor ubicación, y esto es para instalar una planta de energía solar concentrada de acuerdo con una oferta con la compañía eléctrica argelina, siguiendo los criterios y la metodología específica para obtener un sitio con un máximo posible de irradiación.



    Can someone tell me if it's OK and just correct the mistakes.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi, I see few correctable things:

    * I would remove "y" in "y esto es para instalar una planta de energía solar concentrada"
    * add a coma between "energía solar concentrada" and "de acuerdo con una oferta"
    * "una oferta con la compañía eléctrica argelina" looks weird, I think this is "una oferta de la compañía eléctrica argelina" or "una oferta a la compañía eléctrica argelina", would have to see the original.

    then:
    Un estudio de pre factibilidad de un proyecto de planta solar se lleva a cabo para estudiar y buscar la mejor ubicación,esto es para instalar una planta de energía solar concentrada, de acuerdo con una oferta de/a la compañía eléctrica argelina, siguiendo los criterios y la metodología específica para obtener un sitio con un máximo posible de irradiación.

    Regards.

    here is the original:

    A prefeasibility study of a solar power plant project was carried out in order to study and search the best location to install a concentrated solar power plant according to a tender with the Algerian electricity company “SPE” following a specific criteria and methodology in order to obtain a site with a maximum possible irradiation along with other economic constraints.

    thank you

    mmm... I am not sure of the spanish equialent for "tender", but "oferta" means "offer" and I don't think that exists "an offer With somebody" can be "an offer To somebody" or "an offer From somebody" and the ame thing happens in spanish. I hope I did not confuse you.

    Regards.
