APD have extensive experience in protection design and settings. Each substation project involves a study of the existing protection design and settings which APD review and update accordingly as well as protection design and associated settings for new additional equipment.
APD is proud to announce the successful registration of our Generator Performance Standard (GPS) with AEMO, for an Alumina Refinery plant, within Western Power’s SWIS network, showcasing the depth and expertise of our Power Systems team. Despite substantial challenges posed by the plant (over 50 years old), our team conducted meticulous site tests and simulations,…
APD Engineering’s state-of-the-art ‘Lab’ at the Perth Head Office, has once again increased its footprint! The unprecedented demand on our testing environment means that the now 60 square metre secure area, serves to further cater for various new HV Substation Protection & Automation projects. This most reliable asset allows APD to simplify the problem elimination…
ElectraNet initiated a Unit Asset Replacement (UAR) for the regulatory period 2018-2023 involving substation asset replacement. APD Engineering was engaged by Enerven to produce the design for the UAR project at five substations namely; Blanche, Mt Gambier, Mayurra, Penola West and South East.
APD Engineering was engaged by Energy Australia (EA) to carry out a grid connection study & assess the local network & determine what upgrades were required to allow connection of a further 300-450MW extra generation to the Endeavour Energy’s (EE) 132kV Tallawarra Switching Station. It will be Australia’s first net-zero emissions plant, which will use…
APD Engineering undertook power system studies, arc flash and protection scheme design associated with new 22kV HV Switchboards and 415V LV Switchboards as part of the HV Distribution Upgrade for a Titanium Dioxide Plant.
