Power Planners International
Power Planners International (PPI) have a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals with the following background:
CEO has more than 32 years of experience of working, supervising and leading the teams of engineers in WAPDA, Pakistan; and Saudi Electricity Company (SEC or SCECO) in Saudi Arabia in the fields of power system analysis, transmission planning, load-forecasting and generation planning. CEO has worked all along his professional life for systems of whole range of principal operating voltages viz. 765 kV, 500 kV, 380 kV, 220 kV, 132 kV, 110 kV, 66kV and 33kV. His major areas of interest have been load flow; short circuit; dynamic and transient stability; voltage stability, voltage control and voltage collapse; small signal stability; modeling and analysis of static & dynamic loads, generators, exciters, governors, stabilizers, SVCs, FACTS, Series Compensators, STATCOMs, HVDC lines and converter stations. CEO has exposure to international technical forums of IEEE and CIGRE, having participated many times in their conferences in Middle East and Europe where he presented papers on advanced fields of power system planning and operation. The team comprises of engineers having background experience of 10 to 30 years working in utilities and consultant companies in Pakistan and Middle East in the fields of transmission planning, power system analysis, load forecasting and generation planning for systems of wide range of operating voltages.
PPI posses the technical skills to perform for a grid system of any size, the following: · Load flow, optimal power flow, and short circuit analysis, dynamic and transient stability analysis for all kinds of disturbances in the system · Voltage stability, voltage control, and voltage collapse analysis and remedies by compensating devices like shunt capacitors/reactors banks, SVCs, FACTS, Series Compensators, STATCOMs etc. · Small signal stability analysis and remedies by power system stabilizers (PSS) in the system · All sorts of transient analyses including but not limited to, transient overvoltage (TOV), transient recovery voltage (TRV), load rejection, in-rush currents and frequency-scans etc ·Power quality issues like flicker, harmonics/resonance and voltage-unbalance due to bad loads like arc furnaces in steel mills or non-uniform generations like wind turbines· Engineering, design and specifications of substations, overhead lines, cables and FACTS devices (such as SVC) · Load forecast analysis based on historical data, power market surveys, economic growth indices like GDP or GNP, population growth rates etc. using econometric models, time-series models, end-users models etc. Optimized Generation Planning based on reliability indices of LOLE/LOLP, minimum reserve margins, cost of un-served energy etc. for one integrated system, and for various systems having inter-ties for reserve sharing or fixed bulk transfer of power using multi-area reliability indices · Analysis of transfer limits between different grid systems fulfilling the generation and transmission reliability criteria Economic and financial analysis of power projects required for approval by funding agencies or governmental authorities.
The PPI professionals posses thorough hands-on experience on the latest state of the art tools of power system analysis viz. · PSS/E of Siemens-PTI (PPI has perpetual license), PSCAD/EMTDC of EPRI and Manitoba HVDC Research Center and WASP (ENPEP)
