- Power System Studies for Steel Plant in a Middle East Country
Power system Studies including Load Flow Analysis, Short Circuit Analysis, Motor Starting Studies, Harmonic Analysis, Protection studies and Relay Setting Studies.The system had an Electric Arc Furnace, A Ladle furnace, An SVC, 6.6 Plant, Several 415 volts switch boards supplying LT loads.
- Transient Stability Simulation Package for a public T&D utility
The transmission network is a three phase balanced network system which is interconnected with another SAARC nation grid.The project required a transient stability analysis module in three phase systems for evaluation of electro-mechanical transient response of the system. The client wanted the transient stability analysis module to fetch the data from EMS/SCADA and perform analysis at specified interval of time and also to add specific types of events to the transient stability simulation that can cause transients [or disturbances or events] in the network
- Power Plant related Studies for a multinational consulting & engineering company
The project included reinforcement of an existing Power Plant with Two additional Gas Turbine Generators with 132 kV grid interconnection and Plant Auxiliaries represented completely. The scope included load flow studies, short circuit studies as well as protection & coordination.
- Power Evacuation Scheme for a multi national manufacturing company
The client plant had surplus captive power generation for which the client wanted to do Power Evacuation Studies to export power to the external bulk consumers and T&D consumers. The scope of the the work included Site visit, Site survey, Examination of facilities available, Meeting with the T&D system authorities as well as nearby bulk power consumers and performing various short-term/long term power system studies like load flow studies, short circuit studies, Harmonic analysis, stability studies, protection coordination studies, insulation coordination studies as per relevant IEC standards.
