Use one service or combine several within a defined subcontract scope. ATECH26 can work within the client’s procedures, templates, quality process and project-management structure.
Power-system analysis
Power System Studies
Evaluate network performance and develop the study outputs required for system planning, design and protection decisions.
01
Network Performance
Analyze the system under the agreed operating conditions.
- Load-flow studies
- Short-circuit studies
- Motor-starting studies
- Harmonic studies
02
Protection and Interconnection
Develop coordinated protection and support the required system interface.
- Protection-coordination studies
- Relay-setting studies
- Grounding studies
- Generator, industrial and utility-interconnection support
ETAP is available for applicable engineering
studies. Arc-flash work will be offered only where the required expertise and compliance
arrangements are confirmed.
Protection engineering
Protection and Control Engineering
Translate the protection philosophy into calculations, settings, logic and implementation documents.
01
Philosophy and settings
Define the scheme and document relay-setting development.
- Protection philosophy and design criteria
- Relay-setting calculations
- Setting files and implementation schedules
02
Schemes and Drawings
Develop and review the documents that describe the protection arrangement.
- Protection logic diagrams and trip matrices
- AC and DC schematics
- I/O lists and cable schedules
- Panel drawing review
03
Digital Protection and Analysis
Support protection communications and analyze system events.
- IEC 61850 and GOOSE engineering support
- Disturbance-record analysis
- Protection-misoperation analysis
Substation design
Substation Engineering
Support primary and secondary engineering, technical reviews and document development for substation projects up to 500 kV, subject to the agreed scope.
01
Primary Engineering
Develop the agreed primary-system documents.
- Single-line diagrams
- Primary-equipment specifications
- Substation layouts
02
Secondary Engineering and Review
Develop and review the protection, control and documentation package.
- Secondary design
- Control, protection and wiring drawings
- DC-system calculations
- Technical document review
- As-built documentation support
Flexible engineering capacity
Support that fits the client’s delivery structure
Project-based or hourly support can be structured around workload peaks, defined technical packages or independent review requirements.
The scope identifies inputs, exclusions, deliverables, schedule, document register and review responsibilities before work begins.
Discuss your engineering scope →
- Work within client procedures and document templates
- Client-branded deliverables where contractually agreed
- Confidentiality and NDA support
- Independent technical review
- Scalable engineering resources
How we work
A clear process from requirement to delivery
Every assignment begins with a defined scope and finishes with traceable deliverables and closeout support.
01
Requirement review
Review the asset, voltage level, available documents, project stage and expected outputs.
02
Scope and responsibilities
Agree the inputs, exclusions, deliverables, schedule and review responsibilities.
03
Engineering development
Develop the studies, calculations, drawings, settings and coordination deliverables.
04
Independent quality review
Check calculations and drawings, control revisions and resolve review comments.
05
Final delivery and support
Issue approved deliverables, editable files, clarifications and closeout support.
