Our highly skilled professional engineers perform a range of power system studies to assist project development, operations and maintenance work. These include investigation, modelling and feasibility studies.
INVESTIGATION -
Safety of Personnel
Arc fault hazard risk management; arc fault containment; equipment ratings; and earth potential rise.
-
Power Supply Integrity
Reliability and security of supply including load shedding; equipment failure investigation; power quality including voltage flicker, voltage unbalance, impulses and harmonic content.
-
Energy Management
Equipment efficiency; power factor and demand optimisation; generator coordination; tariff selection; and alternative supplies.
MODELLING -
Power System Modelling
Capturing generator, network equipment and load data and preparing models for analysis.
-
Network Analysis
Performing network analysis studies with the use of power system models and model interface software: load flows; fault levels; protection; arc flash; arc fault containment; stability; earthing; motor starting; voltage flicker; and harmonics.
-
Study Reports
Preparation of detailed reports and presentations on the results of the network analysis studies with recommendations on how best to address issues discovered.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES-
Project Definition
Scoping of proposed power system development and rectification works.
-
Conceptual Design
Power system conceptual and preliminary designs; specification and tendering.
-
Project Evaluation
Stakeholder input, costing, risk review and report preparation.
