Water

The Water industry within the UK is of critical importance, and is a major power user which as well as the need for continual upgrades as well as the need to reduce energy consumption and achieve net zero carbon emissions. Many existing sites face similar problems of aging assets and infrastructure, complex brownfield tie-ins to upgrade existing facilities and a forward drive to add in new renewable power and battery storage to existing facilities.

Aurora Power Consulting can offer a wide range of studies and services across the water M&E requirements covering conceptual design ideas, system analysis and detailed design activities. Typical services we offer can include:

  • Protection coordination studies
  • Arc flash studies
  • Fault level studies
  • Site surveys and reviews
  • Preparation and Completion of ENA G99 forms
  • HV network design and reinforcement planning
  • Advice on Demand Side Reduction (DSR)
  • Advice on using battery storage systems for power arbitrage (peak shifting)
  • Addition of new Electric Vehicle charging stations
  • Concept development
  • Reliability & Availability studies
  • Hazardous Area Classification and assessment
  • Protection scheme design & CT sizing
  • Interface design to existing assets
  • HV cable sizing calculations
  • HV network design and reinforcement planning
  • Loadflow, fault level, motor starting, protection, stability and arc flash studies
  • Earthing Design and Analysis using either CDEGS or XGSLab
