Transmission and Distribution Systems

Current trends in power transmission require system owner / operators to balance the unpredictability of renewable energy sources with the requirements of system security, reliability and safety. Additionally the high level of public opposition to many reinforcement schemes requires system planners to seek imaginative solutions to system constraints.

• Application of diverse analytical techniques and tools.
  • AC and DC load flow techniques including automated contingency analysis.
  • Fault level calculations to G74 standard.
  • Transient and dynamic simulation studies.
  • Expertise in the application of numerous software tools such as IPSA, PSS/E, PSCAD/EMTDC and Matlab.
• Generation connection studies for large and small scale plants.
  • Large and small scale generation projects and their connection to HV, MV and LV systems.
  • Load flow, fault analysis and dynamic simulations, all essential to assessing the impact of new generation.
  • Wind generation modelling and analysis, including DFIG machines.
• Security/Contingency analysis for power networks.
  • System security analysis for all types of power system networks from large scale distribution and networks to high integrity plant auxiliary systems.
• Analysis of technical contractual arrangements and grid code requirements.
  • Code and contractual compliance of generator connections for utility regulatory bodies.
  • Review of connection codes and interpretation of contractual arrangements which might impact on generation projects.

In addition to these services IPSA Power Ltd enjoys a close working relationship with our academic colleagues at the UMIST Electrical Energy and Power Systems Group, and can draw on their expertise if required.
