Specialist Consultancy
Engineering excellence to guarantee operational integrity of your tapchanger control scheme, including application engineering, scheme design and drawings, panel and cubicle build, modernisation of tapchanger motor-drive mechanisms, installation and commissioning.
Overview
Our voltage control experts can help you with your voltage policy or strategy, and its implementation, to help you deliver on your obligations.
Challenges
- Inconsistent voltage control policy can lead to poor voltage regulation, unhappy customers and licence breaches
- Voltage control is only as good as the weakest link in the voltage control chain
- Planning needs to consider advanced smart and flexibility techniques to ensure voltage regulation is delivered alongside other DSO obligations
- Suboptimal policy wastes power, stresses assets and emits extra carbon
- Inappropriate policy can restrict the connection of generation to the network
Solutions
-
Policy level
At policy level we can define the optimum strategy for your network needs, considering licence requirements, generation, DSO obligations and asset age
-
Network level
At network level we can advise on the approach to deploying regulation equipment, including tapchangers, regulators and shunt-connected devices, and a network-wide approach to automated control
-
Equipment level
At equipment level we can support in defining a strategy for new and existing equipment, and how to control it
