High Voltage (HV) power supply upgrade preliminary design study which focused on the HV infrastructure as part of the QCoal Byerwen Project feasibility study. The scope included the following design and costing elements 66kV Supply to site, 66kV and 11kV Reticulation around Site and associated distribution infrastructure.
(P1560) - Dyno Nobel Moranbah Arc Flash Study
AE Projects completed an Arc Flash Study for Dyno Nobel Plant in Moranbah for Incitec Pivot Limited. AE Projects completed a review of the arc flash points for the functional levels on each plant switchboard from 11kV down to 415V.
Confidential Client/Project – major Australian Power Station
Partnered with GHD to undertake a study to develop a strategy and costings for mothballing the original stage of the station. Consideration was given to regulatory requirements for resumption within 2 months for 1 unit and 6 months for others. The services included condition assessment, strategy development and costings.
AGL Torrens Island Power Station
Boiler drum level instrumentation review against code and standards compliance investigation. Review of previous reports, installed system information and relevant regulatory requirements and standards.
GDF Suez Hazelwood Power Station
Plant operational systems manual development following controls upgrade. Review of existing plant information for control systems and development of a manual for use by operators and maintenance personnel.
BioPower (Wave generation)
Port Fairy Wave Generation Pilot Plant Electrical Systems:
Review of interconnection system design
Review protection systems for compliance with supply authority
Protection relay settings and system FAT
Commissioning support
Confidential Client (Photovoltaic)
Design supervision and verification of a control system design and implementation for a substantial (3.8 MW) photovoltaic plant. The system was connected to a weak rural distribution system. The services included meeting the supply authority’s stringent power criteria at the point of common coupling.
Loy Yang A Power Station – Arc Flash Study
Developed a new PTW power system model utilising information provided from site. Undertook an arc flash study and produced a report recommending improvements to lower energy incident levels.
Loy Yang Mine – Arc Flash Study
On site data collection, power system modelling and arc flash study. Reviewed protection settings on high incident energy switchboards and provided a report recommending improvements to lower energy incident levels.
Energy Developments Limited (EDL) – Control Systems Upgrades and Optimisation
Elical have been undertaking a range of projects to assist EDL in controlling and monitoring their power generators remotely from their centralised control room. These services have included improvements to ramp-up and systems operations.
Energy Developments Limited (EDL) – Protection Study and Audit
Protection study for EDL to develop a reference document for protection systems and then conduct an audit on 3 of their power station assets. A risk assessment was carried out on the non-compliances and budget costings developed for remedial work.
Energy Developments Limited (EDL) – Power System Modelling and Arc Flash Assessment
Elical were engaged to undertake a power system modelling and arc flash assessment for 3 of their power stations using PTW software tools.
