EHV, HV & MV infrastructure

Our factory-built solutions are an appealing alternative to brick-and-mortar construction. They have a variety of benefits including:

• Minimisation of waste
• Enable concurrent production
• Remain unaffected by weather
• Allow for offsite factory acceptance testing

Our products are precision engineered, constructed, and fitted out in our specialised production facility, delivered safely to site in a modular format.

We offer:

• Modular control and switch rooms manufactured in house
• Optimised high voltage substations (greenfield/brownfield)
• Fit-for-purpose, designed to suit client requirements and budgets

Commissioning and testing of high voltage equipment is critical to the long-term performance and reliability of assets. We provide a wide range of testing and commissioning services from factory acceptance right through to commissioning and energisation.

These services include but are not limited to:

• Meter Accuracy Testing our skilled and experienced metering test team can provide independent accuracy report on your meter, regardless of size and type
• CT/VT Accuracy Testing test the performance of current and voltage transformers to ensure accurate secondary current and voltage values are completed as part of commissioning and as part of ongoing accuracy maintenance tests. We also have comprehensive primary and secondary testing onsite to ensure installations meet design and regulatory requirements.
• Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) full factory acceptance testing can be completed pre-transport by our test and commissioning team.
• Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) fully integrated field testing/commissioning team ensuring all construction and integration of assets is connected and operational in-line with regulatory, DNSP/TNSP requirements.
• R1 Testing we support registration of new and or modified generation assets in line with the National Electricity Rules (NER) through development of generator plant system models (PSSE/PSCAD) and by conducting Generator Performance Standard reviews and Studies in accordance with the requirements of the NER. Our experienced team are also able to support and carry out R1 testing and commissioning activities to support the registration process.
• R2 Testing as part of R2 deliverables, we prepare pre-commissioning and commissioning procedures verifying their fulfilment with grid code local NSP, AEMO and contracts contractual requirements.

Types of testing are identified, as required, to achieve commissioning scope and oversee testing and commissioning processes throughout each stage of the project lifecycle Hold Point testing. We can prepare or review commissioning reports from all site-based commissioning activities, as required. Hold Point reports are prepared and reviewed by our very own renewables engineers. Operation and maintenance manuals or operational philosophies can be provided for completeness to support ongoing operational activities.

Our team of highly qualified personnel are familiar with programming and extracting data from PQM’s (Elspec, ION meters) used for data analysis and creation of Hold Point test reporting by the renewables team. We are capable and familiar with a range of SCADA systems (GPMSCADA etc) required during the Hold Point testing process.

We are familiar with the use of Secondary Injection Test Equipment (Doble F6150, Omicron CMC256/356) and have demonstrated capability in developing protection test plans to successfully test protection relays providing settings and logic relative to the protection scheme.
