Oil, Gas and Petrochemical

The Oil & Gas and petrochemical industries within the UK faces a lot of constraints and challenges with the increasing need to decarbonise the industry, whilst dealing with ageing assets and infrastructure, and a need to meet ever more stringent legislation and lower production costs.  However, these challenges also raise a lot of opportunities for electrification of offshore plants, and compressors, as well as the various opportunities presented by green and blue hydrogen.

Aurora Power Consulting can offer a wide range of studies and services for any Oil & Gas electrical requirements, covering electrical conceptual design, as well as electrical support during pre-FEED, FEED and EPC design stages, as well as support for reviewing and analysing existing plants and facilities. Typical services we offer can include:

  • Concept development and power system design of
  • Power systems studies including loadflow, fault level, motor starting, protection, stability and arc flash studies with ETAP or DIgSILENT
  • Transformer energisation and inrush studies with DIgSILENT or EMTP-ATP
  • Insulation Coordination with DIgSILENT or EMTP-ATP
  • Reliability & Availability studies
  • Hazardous Area Classification and assessment
  • Protection scheme design
  • CT sizing calculations
  • Interface design to existing assets
  • HV cable sizing calculations
  • HV network design and reinforcement planning
  • Earthing Design and Analysis using either CDEGS or XGSLab
Sectors

Aurora Power Consulting (formerly SPE Electrical) are a leading independent power systems consultancy. We provide specialist technical advice on all aspects of HV, EHV and large LV power systems, ranging from industrial applications through to renewable power and energy storage.
