SERVING THE POWER, OIL & GAS SECTOR SINCE 2001

Since 2001, we have been advising our customers on how best to manage their power systems to meet the demands of the processes it supplies. Working together, our engineers can integrate into your organisation and develop solutions to solve your most technical needs. Our specialised studies can ensure you continue to deliver this quality power supply now and long into the future.

Some of our most popular solutions include:

  • Power Quality
  • Harmonic Filtering
  • Arc Flash Analysis
  • Protective Device Coordination
  • Grid Compliance
  • Load Flow & Short Circuit
  • Feasibility Studies
  • Safety Training

POWER QUALITY & HARMONICS

Modern power electronics are susceptible to power supply variations, some can be addressed with a simple fix while others require a more complex design solution. At Premium Power, we strive to project manage your power quality issues all the way from identification through to solution. Our three main areas of expertise in relation to power quality are power quality surveys, power quality monitoring and power quality solutions.

GRID COMPLIANCE

We can assist your business with grid compliance and dynamic modelling when connecting to the grid. We also help with updating networks, and specialise in ensuring wind farms/renewable generation are grid compliant.
We conduct grid compliance studies using the industry recognised software packages. We do this through:

  • 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

PROTECTION COORDINATION

Isolating faulty components in a power system will help prevent serious power faults. The purpose of a protective device coordination (PDC) study is to model, assess and produce recommendations that will ensure as far as possible so that in the event of a fault the protection device closest will operate first, thus limiting downtime to this part of the system.

In order to ensure these protective devices operating in the correct sequence we look at the characteristic curves of breakers and fuses and ensure that they do not overlap inappropriately. Having completed this analysis we may propose adjustments to the settings of the circuit breakers and the types of fuses. It is possible at this stage we might include an electrical safety perspective.

PDC studies are an invaluable exercise in ensuring an electrical system operates to the required standard of reliability. Any electrical system will over time face new demands and requirements. Any significant changes to a site may impact on the behavior of protection coordination and need further analysis and adjustments.

arc flash
case study

This plant had a corporate requirement to assess arc flash hazards. Compliance with technical company standards was required with respect to specific corporate methodology.

esb PQ Solution
case study

ESB Networks is the Distribution System Operator in the Republic of Ireland. They needed help supplying and supporting a country wide power quality and power monitoring solution.

esb connection
case study

Kinsale Energy Ltd wished to improve its overall system of safety at its offshore and onshore gas facilities to meet corporate requirements and update standard operating procedures.

gas terminal
case study

We conducted a detailed analysis of the earthing grids at the terminal site. A software simulation was developed that reflected the characteristics of the soil and the copper conductors placed in the ground at the terminal site.
