Load Study & Power Quality Management

 

 

Load Study: A Power Quality Approach 

Get A Quote

The power system in a facility is like the heart in a live body. It pumps energy to all the electric apparatus jus as the heart pumps energy all over the body.

If the heart works well,  proper and reliable energy reaches to the apparatus and so the function and performance of the system is  safe and secure.

On the other hand, multiplied voltages and amplified currents caused by unstable and noisy circuits, overloaded conductors, unbalanced loads, excessive har
monics
, undue phase displacement, and similar defects, create over heated disconnectors, fuses, transformers and motors,  finally ending up with break down or fire.
 
Hence, there are good reasons for giving appropriate care and attention to the power system.
And like the heart, the need for care increases with age. 
 
The remedy is: a full load study and power quality report.
 
A customary routine is  to read the power load of all equipment on their nameplates, sum them up, and insert a load factor to get an estimae of the load in a branch circuit. This procedure is of course somehow inacurate. For one thing the power load printed on the equipment nameplate i
s no more valid after some time as the equipment wear out.  Besides, the apparatus do not work all the time. So this procedure is neither precise nor is it comprehensive. 
 
In order to get a real picture of the load profile, you need to monitor the power parameters over a reasonable period of time. Normally a few weeks to a few months would be sufficient depending on the type of activity. Retrieving the data stored over the test period, you have the actual values of loads and other parameters on different times of the day, or days of the week, etc.  So you get a true picture of the power system load profile as well as its performance, impending hazards, etc.
 
 
We use "NTPM" as the main tool for measuring and recording the power parameters for a reasonable period of time, and the reports are based on the files retrived from "NTPM" units.
 
The procedure is simple:
  
  • Install NTPM power meter/ recorders, synchronize its time and date with the computer, and enter the basic settings like frequency and CT ratio 
  • Allow a few weeks for the data to be recorded
  • Retrieve the recorded files and make reports (to be used by maintenance engineers):
    • Harmonics report
    • Power factor report
    • Voltage sag report
    • Load balance report
    • Maximum demand report
  • Keep watchning the system through the realtime views
  • Reproduce the reports every month (with the power meter/ recorders installed)

Pipeline Management Solution design

Pipeline Management Solution for Liquid Transmission Lines 

Liquid transmission lines transfer huge quantities if liquids. The larger the pipe, the more the capacity. For instance, a 110" pipeline carries almost 150,000 gpm.

A tiny a crack on a pipeline results is both environmental and financial detriment.

So it is necessary to detect breaches, and to do it fast.

PipeActualAn "Early Leak detection System" with high reliability and precision, superimposed on the Pipeline SCADA, greatly reduces the spill loss.  

After gathering some fundamental data, we deliver the design as well as the software packege with all the configuration and on-site calibration.

Also "Batch Tracking" module will be furnished for applications like oil and petroleum products.

Power Systems Analysis

Design, installation, operation, and maintenance of power systems involve analysis and assesment of system parameters to ensure reliability of equipment and safety of operators. Different calculations and reports are needed for different purposes:

  • Load flow : A Load flow report tells you if the transformers, generators, and feeder conductors are loaded properly, and if there are unseen voltage drops or sustainded over voltages harming your equipment. Also it determines if the circuit protective devices are selected correctly. Loadflow is therefore a powerful way to unveil hidden hazads in the power distribution system, and to unlock savings by identifying power losses.
  • Short circuit:  Extensive equipment damage, and costly downtime are typical consequences of a short circuit incident if the protective devices do not interrupt it quickly and safely. It can be a serious threat to human life and is capable of causing injury. Short Circuit analysis is required to ensure that existing and new equipment ratings are adequate to withstand the available short circuit energy at each point in the electrical system. A Short Circuit Analysis will help to ensure that personnel and equipment are protected by establishing proper interrupting ratings of protective devices (circuit breaker and fuses). 
  • Arc flash : Electrical shock and arc flash are inherent risks of every power system, especially when working with energized electrical apparatus like switches, circuit breakers, or other energized equipment or circuit parts. OSHA 1910.132  and NFPA70E require that employers identify and protect their workers from workplace hazards. The energy available at any electrical device at a facility is determined through an Arc Flash Assessment & Analysis report. It determines the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required of the electrical devices, if the devices are appropriate for service,  as well as discrepancy  issues if any. An Arc Flash analysis takes the results of short circuit calculations against the response time of protective devices to determine the incident energy at the various points in the system.
  • Harmonics: No need to say that non-linear loads are everywhere (from huge rectifiers to small CFLs and computer power supplies), and they develope harmonics in the system, causing power quality problems. Overheated conductors and apparatus, misfunctioning in variable speed drives, and life reducing torque pulsations in motors are among the problems caused by harmonics. Reduction of harmonics is considered desirable. Harmonics study report sets a proper base for power quality improvement.  
  • Transients Stability: When a considerable disturbance hits the electrical system, it moves out of equilibrim and enters a tranition state. Transient stability study is concerned with this transition perid, and if / when it reaches a stable state.Will a rotor get out of step? Will there be transient voltage sags or current limits? Typical transient stability studies are concerned with the first 30 seconds after the disturbance and include identifying critical fault clearing time, motor dynamic acceleration/reacceleration, load shedding schedule, fast bus transfer timing, excitation/AVR system parameter tuning, governor parameter tuning, voltage/frequency response and stability, and generator start-up. 

 

As convoluted as a project may be, and as demanding the situation may be, reports credibility are guaranteed thanks to experienced and knowledgeable engineers using standard software packages (Aspentech, ETAP, SKM)

Relay Setting

Coordination and settings of protection relays is a tricky job. Proficiency in power protection concepts, acquaintance with a wide variety of protection relays in the market, and appropriate software tools are basic rules. Then comes the value of experience to put all the necessities together and generate reliable results and ready to apply outputs. 

With experience with most protection relays in the market like SEL, Schneider-Electric, ABB, and Siemens, results are accuracy guarantied .
