Industrial Power Systems
AuraGrid supports industrial facilities, data centres, process plants, microgrids and large energy users with electrical system studies that improve safety, reliability, selectivity and operational performance. Industrial Power Systems is a core service area on our website, including protection coordination, arc-flash and insulation-coordination support.
Data Centre & Industrial Study Capability
Load Flow & System Sizing
Normal/emergency configurations, transformer and cable loading, voltage drop and system losses.
Short-Circuit Studies
Maximum/minimum fault levels, equipment ratings, breaker duties and system configuration.
Protection Coordination
Relay/fuse/breaker grading, selectivity, settings, time-current curves and protection philosophy.
Arc-Flash Assessment
Incident energy, arc-flash boundaries, PPE categories/requirements and risk-reduction recommendations.
Motor Starting
Voltage dips, acceleration, starting methods, large motor impacts and mitigation.
Harmonics & Power Quality
Harmonic distortion, resonance, filter requirements, flicker and sensitive-load performance.
Earthing / Grounding
Grounding performance, touch/step considerations and system earthing philosophy.
Insulation Coordination
Lightning/switching overvoltage, equipment withstand levels and surge-arrester application.
Reliability & Redundancy
Supply architecture, contingency performance, critical loads and resilience improvement.
Capacitor / Reactive Compensation
Power factor, capacitor banks, harmonic interaction and dynamic reactive solutions such as E-STATCOM.
Design Review & Technical Assurance
- Single-line diagram and system architecture review.
- Equipment rating and specification support.
- Protection philosophy and settings review.
- Independent design review and technical due diligence.
- Integration of captive generation, renewables, BESS and utility connections.
Protection, Control & Automation
We support the engineering and review of protection schemes, relay settings, substation automation and control interfaces.
Protection Philosophy & Scheme Design
Protection zones, scheme selection, redundancy and functional requirements.
Relay Coordination & Settings
Selectivity, grading and relay settings informed by network fault studies and operating configurations.
IEC 61850 Engineering
Information models, communication requirements and engineering specifications for interoperable substation systems.
Substation Control & Automation
Control logic, interlocking and automation functional requirements.
Control System Integration
Interfaces, signals and coordination between protection, control and monitoring systems.
Disturbance & Fault Record Analysis
Review of event records and protection operation to identify causes and recommend corrective action.
