CHP generator power quality testing and surveys from WBPS

CHP POWER QUALITY SURVEYS

Using the very latest technological advances, we can conduct power quality and testing surveys for your Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generating system. Power quality and testing surveys are undertaken from WBPS to test and diagnose poor or unstable power on the equipment. A weak power supply has many adverse effects on a generator’s electrical system, and as well as posing problems for the generator, they can also produce higher than average energy costs and possible total electrical failure.

At WBPS, we have highly skilled CHP engineers available to conduct power quality surveys throughout the UK. Using the very latest techniques, we can carry out a complete survey of the electrical system of your CHP infrastructure. Measuring the strength and the stability of the electrical power supply, we can assess and make the necessary recommendations to restore a power supply to its most efficient function.

HOW DOES POWER QUALITY WORK?

Power Quality Surveys are an important part of the process when factoring in your CHP generator installation project. Power quality can be affected by surges and fluctuations, and as part of the quality survey, we will also assess the voltage of all the electrical equipment to ensure it remains within a certain range to prevent any damage.

To ensure reliable power quality, generator operators must monitor the generator and take steps to mitigate any potential problems. Each piece of electrical equipment will have parameters for safe operation, and guidelines as to how far from normal they can vary before power quality is deemed too low.

Whilst fluctuations in voltage will always occur, these fluctuations must be kept within well-defined limits to ensure that equipment that draws power from a generator is safe and protected from damage.

The importance of power quality is so fundamental to the reliable provision of power that we offer separate power quality surveys to measure and monitor the quality of power from your generator sets.

Find Out More CHP GENERATOR COMMISSIONING

Our expertise in CHP generator commissioning packages is unrivalled. Experience in the CHP process has made us fully aware that the principal financial benefits are only apparent while the CHP arrangement is running continually. Therefore, our primary aim of all CHP generator commissioning projects is to keep down time to an absolute minimum. During the commissioning process, our engineers will endeavour to identify any systems that may cause service interruption after the set has been working for a period of time. Action will be taken to help reduce the possibility of future failures during the commissioning too.

Find Out More CHP FAULT ANALYSIS

Our expertise in CHP packages means our experienced technicians can help you with your CHP fault analysis. Typically used as back-up systems, CHP systems can be designed to continue to operate and serve essential loads during an interruption to mains power, this increases the security of energy supplies, meaning that essential services – heat, light and power, etc., remain fully operational during a power cut. Because of their importance in an emergency situation, it is vital that proper fault analysis is available at all times. With our experience, you can be assured that we can carry out CHP fault analysis to help prevent prolonged downtime.

Find Out More CHP Load Bank Testing

Load bank testing is a process that is used to test the performance of generators and other electrical equipment. The test involves applying a load to the equipment and then monitoring how well it operates. This helps to ensure that the equipment is able to handle the demands of a real-world situation. It is an important part of maintaining and troubleshooting your power generation equipment. It can help to identify potential problems before they cause downtime or damage. WBPS provide both the testing equipment and the expertise to carry out the testing on your premises.
