In the ANSI/International Electrical Testing Association — Standard for Electrical Commissioning Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems (NETA ECS-2015), electrical commissioning is ...

Historically, generator inspections require rotor removal (Figure 1). There’s a significant level of risk during this process due to possible generator damage during the disassembly, and it also ...

To manage the challenges of today’s complex electrical power systems and tightening budgets, facility managers need to understand the critical connection between electrical commissioning and ...

Out-of-step protection is a critical component of modern power system protection schemes—its importance has grown ...

Safe reliable power is the goal of every professional responsible for the design, installation, and maintenance of electrical power systems. The commissioning of newly-installed electrical power ...

Within the built world, and certainly the commissioning process (Cx) industry, there is a growing concern with owners and clients mistaking the commissioning process with installation and startup.

Testing verifies that protection schemes meet their intended purpose, ensuring safety and system integrity. Function testing involves manual or electrical manipulation of components to confirm signal ...

A higher form of simulation, digital twins collect data to create accurate simulations that display the operation, potential failures, and possible future maintenance issues in manufacturing equipment ...

Commissioning is a vital step near the end of a plant’s construction, its purpose to hand over a safe, efficient and operation-ready facility to the owner. It is the planned coordination and execution ...

The theory behind hydropower is very simple: water obeys gravity and imparts the gained kinetic energy onto a turbine, which subsequently drives a generator. The devil here is, of course, in all the ...

Commissioning isn’t a new concept. The term actually dates back to shipbuilding; a commissioned ship is one that’s deemed ready for service. However, a ship must pass several milestones before setting ...
