The Backbone of Reliable Substation Management Services

Overview

Substations play a pivotal role in the transmission and distribution of electricity, and on-site services help maintain and enhance their functionality.

On-site services for substations are indispensable for maintaining the safety, reliability, and efficiency of the electrical power system. They ensure that substations operate smoothly, comply with regulations, and adapt to evolving technological and operational demands.

By solving the challenges of substation management and upgrades, these services prevent unexpected downtime and improve overall system performance.

Ensuring Seamless Integration from Day One

Commissioning Services

Commissioning services for substations are critical to ensure that newly constructed or upgraded substations are properly installed, tested, and fully operational before being put into service. The existing or upgraded protection & control system of the substation includes the following key aspects:

  • Planning and preparation
  • Inspection and verification
  • Equipment check
  • Functional testing and system integration testing
  • Performance testing (load testing, protection system testing, operational testing)
  • Safety and compliance checks
  • Training and documentation

Site Acceptance Tests

These tests ensure that the installed equipment meets the required specifications and operates correctly within the integrated system. The key steps involved in conducting a Site Acceptance Test for a substation's protection & control system are:

  • Continuity tests
  • Secondary injections
  • Operational tests
  • Verification of materials

Substation's Protection & Control system startup involves a series of meticulous steps to ensure that all systems operate correctly and interact properly with each other. This process includes verifying the functionality of protective relays, control systems, communication interfaces, and other related components.

Testing the primary and secondary equipment in a substation is critical to ensure that all components are functioning correctly and are ready for reliable operation.

Primary equipment testing

  • Power transformers testing and diagnosis
  • Instruments transformers (CTs & VTs) testing and diagnosis
  • Circuit breakers and switchgear testing

Secondary equipment testing

  • Digital/Static/Electromechanical Relays’ tests
  • Controllers (AVRs, Governors, Synchronizers, Auto Transfer systems)

Validating Reliable Power Delivery

Revitalizing Substations with Future-Ready Upgrades

Retrofit on existing systems

Retrofit solutions for protection and control systems in substations involve upgrading existing equipment and systems to improve reliability, functionality, and compliance with modern standards. These retrofits are often necessary to extend the lifespan of aging infrastructure, enhance system performance, and integrate new technologies. Our retrofit solutions for protection and control systems in substations include:

  • Modern equipment selection and submission of detailed upgrade proposals
  • System upgrade engineering, including new equipment integration
  • Drawings update
  • On-site retrofit implementation
  • Testing and commissioning of the upgraded system
  • Reporting and documentation
  • Training

By Your Side for Long-Term System Reliability

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Support Agreements are contracts between a substation owner/operator and a service provider that outline the terms, responsibilities, and scope of services for maintaining and operating the substation infrastructure. These agreements are crucial for ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of substations while also providing clear expectations and responsibilities for both parties. Here are the key components and aspects typically covered in our O&M Support Agreements:

  • Regular inspections and testing to maintain performance standards
  • Preventive maintenance actions to address potential issues before they arise
  • Operational support and troubleshooting
  • Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
  • Safety and Regulatory Compliance
  • Reporting and documentation
  • Training
