Verify Power System Recovery and Response in All Conditions

SEL’s robust power system modeling service ensures the integrity of the dynamic positioning (DP) vessel’s power system operational design. Leveraging our in-depth power system expertise, SEL’s highly trained engineers work with your project team to build a model of your power system. Then, using a Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) computer, thousands of faults and system disturbances are simulated in a power hardware-in-the-loop system to evaluate your system performance. Lastly, SEL engineers present a detailed report that shows system owners how to optimize their power system output and availability. 

Common-mode fault testing—Our testing will demonstrate the power plant's response to common-mode failures. SEL's experienced power engineers provide comprehensive recommendations for improvements to your power system's protection and control, increasing the overall reliability of the power plant.

Relay coordination verification—Using advanced time domain simulation of the power plant proves the integrity of the protection design. From the results, we will identify enhancements to the system design using the latest technology in ultra-high speed protection to provide secure, dependable, and reliable system operation.

Closed bus operation validation—Computer modeling determines the power plant’s stability and reliability in a closed bus configuration. SEL can identify system vulnerabilities and power system improvements to achieve maximum performance and reduce operational costs.
