Field
Testing.
On-site experience and reliability.
Our quick response, know-how and the total number of successfully executed projects are our presentation card.
Net Code Compliance and Commercial Licensing
We understand the electricity market in each country and we know what is needed.
New generation plants connecting to a national interconnected system must comply with the grid codes applicable in each country. For example: NTSyCS and/or NTSSCC in Chile, CNO Agreements in Colombia, MOD 025-026-027 in the United States and Canada, PR20 and PR21 in Peru, PT4 and PT9 in Argentina, Interconnection Manual and Grid Code in Mexico, NTS in Spain and the EU, etc.
DIgSILENT, PSS/E, EMTP, PSCAD & PHOTON, among others
We are global leaders in the field of testing and modelling of non-conventional renewable energies.
The EE team has customized and country-specific equipment, as well as local offices with specialists, remote support and a long experience in field tests and mathematical modeling in different tools (PSS/E, DigSILENT, EMTP, PSCAD, Matlab and Photon, among other specific simulation software).
Estudios Eléctricos has developed tests and models of voltage regulators (AVR), limiters (OEL, UEL V/Hz), speed controls (GOV) of synchronous machines and controls of non-conventional renewable plants in more than 35,000 MW of all types of technology, such as gas turbines, combined cycles, nuclear power plants, solar and wind power plants, batteries (BESS), biogas plants, among others.

Operational Parameters
Accurate measurement of the operating parameters of a plant or generation unit directly impacts the dispatch and economic maximization that can be made of the resource.
The benefits of our Operational Measurements include:
Optimization of plant performance to maximize generation and reduce costs.
Compliance with regulatory standards and regulations.
Identification of improvement opportunities to increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Improving plant reliability and reducing the risk of outages.
-
We determine the maximum output capacity under specific operating conditions.
We identify any potential limitations or room for improvement to increase generation.
-
We measure and analyze fuel consumption per unit of energy produced.
We optimize operating parameters to minimize fuel consumption and reduce operating costs.
-
We establish the lower limit of stable generation to ensure safe and efficient operation.
We help develop dispatch strategies to avoid operations below the technical minimum.
-
We analyze the procedures and response times for starting and stopping a plant or generation unit.
We optimize these parameters to improve efficiency, reliability and reduce emissions.
Audits
Our specialized engineering team performs audit tests to ensure the quality and performance of the installations.
-
We evaluate the quality of the power supplied, including parameters such as voltage, frequency, harmonics and power factor.
We identify any power quality issues that may affect efficiency, reliability or regulatory compliance.
-
We characterize the plant's capacity to generate or absorb reactive power at different levels of active generation.
We optimize reactive power curves to improve grid stability, reduce losses and meet grid operator requirements.
Electrical Commissioning
The final step towards a safe business operation is the commissioning process. We have a team of specialists who have all the necessary equipment and are always available to mobilise on-site.
We offer a wide range of electrical and functional diagnostic tests on all components present in substations and generation plants:
Control and protection panels
Power transformers
Voltage and current transformers
Generators and motors
Excitation systems
Switches and disconnectors
Grounding systems
Medium voltage cables
Design and implementation of logics, interlocks and control loops
Power quality, harmonics and flicker measurements
