GRID COMPLIANCE & DYNAMIC MODELLING

We can assist your business with grid compliance and dynamic modelling when connecting to the grid. We also help with updating networks and offer a connection service to small businesses looking to connect renewable technologies to the national grid.

CONCEPTION OF PROJECT

We work to conduct a thorough assessment of the project from the outset. With us you can rest assured the project will be delivered on time, on budget and to the required specification. What we do:

  • Preliminary harmonic analysis study
  • Technical due diligence (electrical)
  • Harmonic injection and mitigation design
  • NC5 applications
  • Peer review of power system studies

GRID COMPLIANCE IMPLEMENTATION

We specialise in ensuring wind farms/renewable generation are grid compliant.
We conduct grid compliance studies using the industry recognised software packages. We do this by:

  • RoCoF studies
  • Load flow and reactive power curves
  • Fault ride through studies
  • Frequency response and dynamic analysis
  • System modeling and data capture
  • Harmonic studies of network and generation technologies
  • P28 voltage dip and flicker studies

DESIGN CHALLENGES

The unique skill set of our chartered engineers ensures we can carry out all specialist electrical engineering studies to address even the most complex design challenges.

Our specialist studies include:

  • Electrical distribution system modeling
  • Fault level studies
  • Earthing grid design studies
  • Protection and coordination
  • Insulation coordination
  • Lightning protection
  • Surge arrestor specification
  • Harmonic filter design and specification
  • Transformer inrush studies and mitigation design

SOLUTION IMPLEMENTATION

Once the design is complete, we can assist you in supplying solutions to ensure your installation is technically compliant.

What we supply:

  • SVC
  • STATCOM
  • Harmonic Filters
  • Pre-Insertion resistors
  • Active and Passive Solutions
  • Point on Wave switching systems
  • Asynchronous breaking technologies

What we do:

  • Preparation of design documentation
  • Pre-Commissioning
  • Commissioning
  • Troubleshooting
  • Maintenance

"The analysis required to meet with EirGrid’s new power quality requirements is detailed and highly specialised. Premium Power have both the experience of delivering on power quality projects and the expertise with our highly skilled engineers. This was an interesting project to work on, taking in the number of scenarios that had to be calculated. In this case we were able to provide a solution and ensure the client did not face potential harmonic resonance issues further down the line."

FEATURED CASE STUDY
Wind Farm Harmonics & Connection Compliance

The new Eirgrid requirements see a more in-depth harmonic analysis required to take account of possible switching or grid configuration changes upstream and to help future proof wind farm connections as more renewables come on stream. To meet the requirements as laid down by EirGrid, the client needed to produce a detailed harmonic analysis. The combination of the high number of impedance values and the wind farm switching scenarios meant that a large amount of data had to be processed and analysed. Specialist software, programming and expertise was required to complete this.
