Power System Deployment [Download Brochure]
The successful deployment of a power system involves experienced management and oversight from design all the way through turn-over and training. Understanding the complexities of modern power systems and the needs of operating personnel has enabled CPC to successfully support the deployment of power systems for our clients, including multiple international projects.
- Complete project management
- Project design & operational philosophies development
- Attendance/support for factory acceptance testing
- Pre-energization test scope development and/or execution
- Multi-vendor start-up coordination and integration
- Turnkey testing and commissioning programs
- Power system studies
- Utility tnterconnection coordination
- Drawing revision control and as-built verification
Regulatory Compliance and Interconnection
CPC is an expert in understanding our client’s regulatory
requirements. With a thorough understanding of NERC standards and
intentions, we have saved our clients countless hours by helping them to
develop and execute sensible programs necessary to avoid the costly
fines and time consuming remediation activities.
System
integration with the local power providers has unique requirements and
procedures for each entity. We apply our knowledge and experience to
resolve these requirements on our clients behalf in a timely and
efficient manner, thus helping to keep our clients projects on time and
track.
- Utility Interconnection Coordination
- Turnkey NERC PRC compliance
- PRC-005 program development and review
- PRC-005 compliancy audits
- PRC-023 evaluation
Protection System Testing and Integration
Modern control systems rely heavily on the built-in functionality and power monitoring of today's protection relays. Integration of these devices when performing system startup, testing and commissioning is critical to proper system operation. CPC’s expertise in both controls and protection allow us to perform the integration and testing of these systems while eliminating the costly delays, meetings and rework that occur regularly with this aspect of power system deployment.
- Relay programming and diagnosis
- Relay calibration, acceptance and periodic testing
- Relay setting development and review
- Coordination studies
System Modifications And Retrofits
CPC has a portfolio of successful improvement and retrofit projects from data centers to utility power generators. By replacing legacy components with modern devices, your system can realize improvements in reliability, monitoring capability, fault diagnosis, and decreased periodic maintenance. Converting or upgrading control schemes can improve system operability, reliability and maintenance flexibility, as well as decrease the effect of unplanned outages on other facility systems.
- Upgrade legacy protection relays
- Replace defective protection relays
- Modification of controls
- “Seamless Transfer” control upgrades
- Improved protection schemes
Maintenance and Service
Periodic review of your system's operation and performance is the best method of preventing inadvertent interruptions in your operations. CPC’s knowledge of all factors of a power system enable us to develop and execute the most sensible maintenance programs and procedures.
CPC takes pride in finding the root causes of system problems, not just "band-aid" fixes. Our understanding of power system operation and integration across all components of the system enable us to provide you a single source for troubleshooting and solving these issues. Once you put the problem in our hands we won’t walk away until it is solved.
