Services

Services for your technical requirements

Interfaces between the plant, substation, grid and operations are critical to project reliability. We connect engineering studies, protection settings and site testing.

Electrical and power system studies

Design, grid connection and protection coordination.

PowerFactory power system studies

Load flow, short-circuit calculations, grid connection studies, operating scenarios, substation constraints and documented assumptions.

  • Load flow and voltage constraints
  • Short-circuit calculations and fault levels
  • Connection scenarios and grid limitations

Protection, selectivity and settings

Protection schemes, setting calculations, relay coordination, interface protection and alignment with grid operator requirements.

  • Protection selectivity studies
  • Relay settings and coordination
  • Calculation reports and technical justification

PV plant grid compliance

Review of PV plant compliance with project and grid operator requirements: protection, power quality, testing and technical documentation. Identification of deviations and preparation of documented responses; official approvals remain with the competent bodies.

  • Interface protection and grid connection
  • Power quality and grid response
  • Compliance documentation and technical responses

Transmission, distribution and substations

Design review, technical specifications, testing support and interface clarification for overhead lines, HV/MV substations, switchgear, transformers and auxiliary systems.

AC and DC electrical engineering

Sizing, LV/MV diagrams, DC and AC cabling, protection, earthing and grid connection substation interfaces. Drawings, calculation reports and bills of materials coordinated with compliance and protection selectivity studies. Explore solar PV project support →

Control systems and supervision

From system architecture to operational interfaces.

SCADA, metering and telecommunications

Review of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), control system, metering and telecommunications architectures. Verification of signal exchanges and their consistency with operational requirements.

Construction, testing and acceptance

Technical support for the owner and commissioning teams.

Owner’s Engineer services

Technical representation of the owner in dealings with the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor: document review, construction monitoring, hold points, punch lists, acceptance and resolution of technical issues.

Commissioning, FAT/SAT and acceptance

Preparation and supervision of factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT), sequence checks, punch lists, verification of test results and acceptance documentation.

Operations and specialist services

Prepare outages and plant improvements.

Operation, maintenance (O&M) and planned outages

Operation and maintenance support according to the technology and agreed scope: outage preparation, inspections, intervention planning, procurement and requalification testing. Required expertise and response times are defined for each assignment.

  • Outage planning and mobilisation
  • Site support and return-to-service testing
  • Valve, actuator and instrumentation maintenance

Upgrades, KPIs, CMMS and hard-to-source spares

Monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs), control system upgrades, development of computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS), sourcing of hard-to-find parts and supplier qualification. Actions are prioritised according to their effect on availability.

Experience

Founder’s track record and RB POWER assignments

Tunisia

EPC project management · 60 MWp

The founder’s track record includes managing a 60 MWp PV EPC project in Tunisia, overseeing interfaces between engineering, construction and acceptance. RB POWER has developed solar projects from 1 to 50 MW, carried out opportunity assessments and solar pre-feasibility studies for projects from 1 to 500 MW in Tunisia and abroad, and prepared tender submission packages for solar projects from 5 to 80 MW.

Industrial renewables

Biomass and geothermal.

Process optimisation and biomass plant commissioning in Japan; outages and testing at a 30 MW geothermal plant in Indonesia.

Conventional power

Combined cycles, steam and turbines

Commissioning, testing and outages involving KA26/GT26 combined-cycle plants, coal-fired plants and GE and Mitsubishi turbines, as part of the founder’s international assignments.
