Today's Power Transmission Challenges

Many challenges face power system engineers today. The traditional approach to planning transmission systems has now expanded to include new transmission options, options which can increase power transfers. For instance:

• AC Lines
• High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC)
• Voltage Source Converters
• Shunt devices such as Static Compensators {STATCOMS) and Static VAR Compensators (SVCs)

Integrating renewable energy sources such as off-shore or on-shore wind energy technology to existing grids, especially sources in remote locations, adds to the challenge.

TransGrid Solutions can help you determine the optimal transmission options for your power system.

TransGrid Solutions has the Knowledge and Tools to address these Challenges

Understanding the available transmission solutions, and then determining the optimum application, requires the expert application of sophisticated study tools including PSS/E, PSCAD/EMTDC and others. It also requires experience and in-depth knowledge of modeling such systems, with the correct application and evaluation of appropriate power electronic solutions.

In addition to our expertise in producing effective planning studies, TransGrid Solutions offers a wide range of experience in the implementation of power electronic solutions. We do feasibility studies, design specifications, tender evaluations and reviews of designs. We are also experienced in witnessing of factory tests and commissioning projects. Finally, TransGrid Solutions also provides training on a wide range of power electronic topics including theory, simulation and equipment.
