Power system transients from switching operations or lightning strikes can severely damage equipment and interrupt operations.
Lightning is one of nature’s most powerful forces and can pose serious risks to life, infrastructure, and valuable assets. Even areas with moderate lightning activity need to consider their impact, especially regarding tall and complex structures.
Cathodic Protection Systems (CP) prevent corrosion in metallic assets like pipelines and storage tanks. Regular maintenance and inspection ensure these systems operate effectively, preventing structural failures, environmental hazards, and costly downtime.
High voltage direct current (HVDC) conductor designs play a pivotal role in the efficiency and reliability of power transmission infrastructure.
High voltage underground (UG) cables are critical in power transmission, and proper bonding is essential for their safe and efficient operation. It highlights how pre-installation assessment helps mitigate risks and improve cable performance.
Transmission line flashovers during lightning can cause major outages and financial losses. Transient studies help improve insulation and grounding performance to ensure reliable operation.
Transient studies are critical in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating the adverse effects of switching operations, lightning surges, and ferro resonance in large electrical systems.
Repeated Voltage Transformer (VT) failures in industrial substations can disrupt operations, cause unplanned outages during transient events, and suggest effective corrective measures.
Transient Ground Potential Rise (TGPR) refers to sudden voltage surges in the grounding system during faults or lightning strikes. Such transients can endanger personnel and disrupt sensitive equipment, especially in GIS. A TGPR study ensures safe potential distribution and effective grounding system design. It is essential for reliable operation in high-voltage switchyards.
