Línea de Transmisión y Subestación Eléctrica

Se construirá una línea de transmisión trifásica de 32 km de longitud en 138kV/13.8kV con conductor de aluminio desnudo y alma de acero ACSR 336.4 MCM y cable de guarda de 36 hilos de Fibra Óptica OPGW de 3/8”, para transportar directamente la energía producida por la Planta Fotovoltaica [name] hasta la Subestación [nombre de la SE] y luego distribuirla a la red de [nombre de la red de distribución] a través de los circuitos de media tensión DRB 3010 y DRB 3020.

My try:
A 138kV/13.8kV, 32 km long, three-phase transmission line will be installed. It will be fitted with bare aluminum steel reinforced (ACSR 336.4 MCM) conductor, and 3/8” diam. 36-thread, optical fiber overhead ground wire (OPGW) will be used to carry the energy generated by [name] Solar Photovoltaic Plant to [name] Substation, and then it will be distributed to [name] grid using medium-voltage distribution circuits (DRB 3010 and DRB 3020).

36-core overhead ground wire (OPGW)
Explanation:
The full product name for a an OPGW such as that referred to in the ST would be, for example,: 36-core optical fiber (composite) overhead ground wire (OPGW)
See example here: http://www.gltechcable.com/sale-8093822-12-24-48-cores-optic...

The product names for these OPGWs usually include the word "composite", although there's no "C" in the abbreviation (or in Asker's Spanish ST).

There will usually be only one, maybe two, optical fibres, housed in one of the tubular cores. The feeder from a PV plant to the grid would be unlikely to justify the cost of more than one optical fibre.

Several different styles of OPGW are made. In one type, between 8 and 48 glass optical fibers are placed in a plastic tube. The tube is inserted into a stainless steel, aluminum, or aluminum-coated steel tube, with some slack length of fiber allowed to prevent strain on the glass fibers. The buffer tubes are filled with grease to protect the fiber unit from water and to protect the steel tube from corrosion, the interstices of the cable are filled with grease. The tube is stranded into the cable with aluminum, aluminium alloy or steel strands, similar to an ACSR cable. The steel strands provide strength, and the aluminum strands provide electrical conductivity. For very large fiber counts, up to 144 fibers in one cable, multiple tubes are used.

Re:
-> Taña, agradezco tu comentario. Cable de guarda es guard cable. Y el ST dice que tiene 36 hilos de fibra óptica => 36 optical fibers. Saludos

neutral  Taña Dalglish: http://diccionario.raing.es/es/lema/cable-de-guarda (Lydia's original suggestion I believe, is correct). Perhaps(?) who knows, one may be good for the US while the other is UK usage. However, I will stay with my original of "o/head ground wire" (DRAE).

neutral  Jennifer Levey: Lydia's own translation is closer to reality than yours. It is extremely unlikely to have 36 optical fibres.

I think you are right, except that I believe "hilo" refers to "core" (?)

cable de guarda
Electricidad y Electromagnetismo
Equivalente inglés:
overhead ground wire

Definición: Cable que soportado directamente en lo más alto de los apoyos de una línea aérea (sobre los conductores de fase) y, a lo largo de ella, sirve de cobertura protectora contra los rayos que, en su caso, descargan a tierra por el cable que lo conecta a ésta en los apoyos. Las descargas sobre el cable de guarda inducen sobretensiones en los cables de fase de menor valor que si fueran directas.

Sinónimo: cable de tierra aéreo

Although this is French, you can get the meaning:

Optical ground wire - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_ground_wire
An optical ground wire is a type of cable that is used in overhead power lines. Such cable combines the functions of grounding and communications. An OPGW cable contains a tubular structure with one or more optical fibers in it, surrounded by layers of steel and aluminum wire. The OPGW cable is run between the tops of ...
