Substation - Engineering and System Assessments

Substation – Engineering

The substations are very much essential to evacuate power from generating stations, transfer of power to the load centers & distribute to the utilities & ultimate consumers.
The generation voltage is limited to 23 kV due to the limitation of the rotating machinery. This bulk power has to be stepped up to higher voltages depending on quantum of power generated and distance to the load centers.  Again the power has to be stepped down to different lower voltages for the transmission and distribution of power The Sub Station Engineering comprises.

Power System Assessments

By condition monitoring means continuous evaluation of the health of plant and equipment through out its serviceable life. The Condition monitoring and protection of equipment are closely related functions but the approach to the implementation of each isquite different. Also the advantages that accrue due to monitoring are entirely different to those to be expected from protection. Condition monitoring can, in some case, be extended to provide primary protection, but its real function must always be to attempt to recognize the development to faults at an early stage.

Power system condition assessments identify power quality, reliability concerns, and code compliance for your facility. Up to date assessments are critical for your facility to maintain safe operating conditions.
GKV ENGINEERS performs Power System Assessments as stand alone services or as part of a design project upgrade. This process involve a walkthrough of the facility and the collection of data that will be compiled for a formal risk analysis.
