Electrical system design
A flexible, all-encompassing service, driven by client needs.
GL Garrad Hassan offers a flexible electrical systems design service that is tailored to meet the client's requirements. The design methodology applied by its experts accommodates multiple component technologies, including generator types and drive train topologies, single or multiple vendor purchasing strategies and design objectives.
The process will typically commence with the top level system design for the electrical generation system. This integrates the requirements from the turbine and control system (including speed range and operating curve, speed control bands, power regulation, shutdown and start-up conditions) along with the electrical network (grid code requirements including voltage variation, frequency variation, reactive power and transient voltage capability). This system design then allows individual specifications for the generator and any associated converter to be developed. This can be undertaken either independently, or in discussion with any preferred vendors.
In addition to the specification of the generator and power converter, GL Garrad Hassan can also advise on the requirements for the auxiliary system, main transformer and switchgear. This would typically include defining requirements and reviewing client/vendor designs.
