Services
TransGrid Solutions (TGS) offers comprehensive services to meet the needs of the ever adapting power industry. When we perform our work, one can be assured of a well planned and executed approach to meeting your needs and solving your problems. Due to our unique blend of utility, manufacturing and academic background, TGS can approach issues from all sides.
Our services include:
Power System Simulation
TransGrid Solutions' experts are well versed in all aspects of power system studies, with staff recognized internationally in the various study areas. TGS utilizes the commercial transient stability (i.e. PSS/E and PSLF) and electromagnetic transient analysis (i.e. PSCAD, EMTP-RV) programs in order to carry out the majority of our studies. Unique in the industry, TGS also has access to an RTDS simulator to provide real-time consultation studies. TGS has also developed numerous in-house applications to study the effects of sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) and network optimization. The areas were TGS can assist you are:
- HVDC and AC transmission systems
- Transmission and generation feasibility studies
- Simulation and study of complex systems involving power electronics (HVDC (LCC and VSC based systems), SVC, STATCOM, TCSC)
- SSR (Sub-synchronous resonance) analysis and shaft damage due to torsional oscillations
- Insulation coordination of AC and HVDC systems, lightning studies, switching surge studies
- Detailed modeling and simulation of digital and analog controls in electromagnetic transient and transient stability programs
- Voltage sourced converter transmission
- AC/DC interaction studies
- Integration of Wind Farms into AC systems.
