ALINTA LINE RECONFIGURATION SECONDARY SCOPE
Secondary scope to facilitate reconfiguration of 66kV transmission lines connecting to the Alinta Power Station on the BHP network, including Line protection relay upgrades.
APD provides the full range of engineering design, configuration, testing & commissioning services for Protection, Automation and Control systems (PACs) in HV transmission & distribution substations and process plants.
The team openly adopts new cutting-edge technology that has been proven in the international PACs space to improve the design, applications, performance and asset management of system protection, substation control and automation, remote control systems and metering systems.
Offering HV Substation Protection and Automation systems design services, from concept studies to detailed design.
Core expertise of the team is in configuration of HV substation protection relays, gateways, network switches and (HMIs).
Test the configured hardware & software against the protection & control philosophy / functional specification, prior to shipping to site.
Functional testing, dry and wet commissioning of the HV plant to meet the protection & control philosophy / functional specification.
Our PACs team is equipped with a state-of-the-art ‘Lab’ at our Perth head office. The unprecedented demand on our testing environment means this 60 square metre secure area serves to further cater for various new HV Substation Protection & Automation projects.
The enhanced functionality, new testing & staging panels, networking equipment, media converters, workstations & monitors, offer our team additional flexibility to perform Protection & Automation testing, configuration, internal testing and client-witnessed FAT testing. It also facilitates technical training and serves as a hub for client meetings and presentations.
This most reliable asset allows APD to simplify the problem elimination process, ultimately saving our Clients’ valuable time and resources. The confidence a fully-tested system brings to power utility and mining operations is critical in the successful integration of new loads and new renewable generation assets such as wind farms, solar farms and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
We work with industry-approved technologies & protocols to meet the needs of our clients’ operational requirements. Many of these technologies have become industry standards due to their reliability, support & wide application. We make it our business to be at the forefront with technologies, which are the essential tools of our trade.
APD Engineering value and appreciate our clients’ business goals – working closely with them to understand their business and help realise their opportunities and overcome the challenges. However, we value our clients’ trust in our capability above all, and we always strive to meet this high expectation.
Additionally, APD’s industry and vendor relationships keep us at the forefront of new product developments, design standards and principles to build a robust, secure, and maintainable systems.
