Protection Engineering And Research Laboratories
Consultancy Services
We offer expert consulting services to industries, utilities, consultants and OEMs to support them at various stages of the project, including power system planning, design, execution and operation. The list of services offered includes conducting power system studies, designing protection systems, conducting audit of protection systems installed at existing power systems, analysing power system tripping incidents and conducting research.
Power System Studies
Power system studies are conducted to analyse the performance of an electrical system during various normal and abnormal conditions that can occur in the system. The studies are also conducted to understand the impact to an existing system, when adding a new electrical system to it. These studies, conducted at various stages of the power project, have specific objectives.
Protection System Design
Since power systems are very dynamic with varying system conditions and configurations, every system becomes unique with its own signature. We recognise that designing the protection system, taking into account this uniqueness, is vital for ensuring its effectiveness. With our rich, global experience, following the best engineering practices, we provide the most appropriate protection system solution, customised to the needs of the application.
Protection Audit
This service is specifically designed for power systems that are in operation, and which may have undergone expansion in stages. It is common for systems that expanded in stages to have protection schemes implemented from different OEMs at various parts of their network. We adopt a structured approach to verify the adequacy of the protection system for the prevailing electrical network and operating philosophy.
Power System Tripping Incident Analysis
Complexities of the power system with its own unlimited influencing factors, combined with the type and quality of operational practices can lead to situations of unwanted and unexplained operation of a protection system. Analysing every such incident by identifying the cause is vital in preventing such incidents from recurring. Such an analysis also provides valuable insights into various aspects of the primary and secondary systems, contributing to its improvement.
Research
We at PEARL believe that innovation is the key for sustained growth. We also realize that continuous research is imperative for innovation. We conduct independent research to bring out innovative and practical solutions to the industry. We also do research in collaboration with other institutions and industrial partners.
