Scope of Our Power Grid Consultancy
Our Project Consultancy service ensures your electrical infrastructure is cost-effective, designed for long-term productivity, and built with sustainability and operational reliability at its core.
Feasibility Studies & DPRs
Every successful grid project begins with an in-depth feasibility study. We conduct:
- Site Surveys: Evaluating terrain, accessibility, soil type, and environmental conditions
- Load Studies: Analyzing present and projected demand (66 kV to 400 kV)
- Geotechnical Assessments: Testing soil strength for foundation stability
- Economic & Risk Analysis: Weighing CAPEX against long-term operational costs
- ROI Projections: Clear financial forecasting for informed decisions
Grid Connectivity Planning
Connecting your facility to the national or state grid involves careful planning:
- Utility Liaison: Coordinating with CTU and STUs for approvals
- Interconnection Studies: Optimal connection points to minimize losses
- Regulatory Compliance: Following CEA guidelines for operational safety
- Load Flow Studies: Simulations to predict system performance
Switchyard Layout & Design
A well-designed switchyard is critical to operational reliability:
- Optimal Equipment Placement: Clear spacing for safety and maintenance
- Earthing & Grounding: Robust earthing system for fault current dissipation
- Illumination Planning: Adequate lighting for operational efficiency
- Fire Protection Systems: Advanced detection and suppression systems
- Accessibility: Designed pathways for smooth operation and upgrades
Equipment Advisory & Specifications
Selecting the right equipment is crucial to performance:
- Lightning Arresters: Protection against transient voltage surges
- CT & PT: Accurate measurement and metering for system monitoring
- Isolators & Breakers: SF₆, VCB, ACB for maintenance and fault isolation
- Power Transformers: Energy-efficient models with low core losses
- Control & Protection Panels: SCADA integration for real-time monitoring
Tendering & Vendor Management
A technically strong tender document ensures you attract the right contractors:
- Technical Specifications: Detailed, unambiguous specifications
- Vendor Evaluation: Assessing technical expertise and quality certifications
- Negotiation & Award: Balancing cost efficiency with quality
- Contract Administration: Overseeing terms, timelines, and penalties
