Increasing reliability, stability and resilience
The stability of electric power grids with high penetrations of solar and wind power is a concern and a possible impediment to renewable energy goals. Power system studies are a critical aspect of the successful operation and management of electricity networks.
Long-term planning models and software serve to provide a platform. where testing can be performed and scenarios can be verified in an offline environment, such that the operation of the networks can be planned and optimised appropriately.
The electrical authorities around the globe have made various electric grid codes that need to be complied with by all the parties involved in generating, operating, transmitting, and new additions (solar and wind renewables).
SgurrEnergy helps the electric grid owners, manufacturers, EPC's and other related parties with Power System Studies (PSS) required to operate, maintain, plan, and expand the electric grid with its growing nature.
Study results are generally presented for grid code requirements that cannot be tested onsite, as performing a single-phase short circuit test is dangerous and places the plant at high risk. Simulation study results are required to show suitable performance under such an event.
Study Outcome: Technical information about your system under normal and fault conditions.
- Opportunities to reduce demand & energy costs.
- Reports highlighting problem areas.
- Recommendations on solutions and equipment for system-wide problems.
- Reassurance of protective device ratings.
- Help to avoid damage and injuries.
- Knowledge of the effects of harmonics and transients.
- Selection of BIL, LA ratings.
