Harmonic Analysis, Grounding Studies, Protection& Arc Flash analysis for compressor station

Quebec, Canada

  • Problem Definition:
    As part of the expansion project, the client wanted to add a new compressor station beside the existing station. The new station required a new 25KV system to supply power to the large compressors.
  • EAMEC Scope:
    • short circuit, coordination, Arc Flash and
    • Protection matrix and logic diagram development
    • Relay setting file development for SEL relays at 25KV
    • Harmonics analysis for Les-Cedres compressor station
    • Detailed grounding studies using CDEGS /SES software
  • Proposed Solution:
    • To work with the design group of ILF Engineering and use their inputs to complete the studies.
  • Steps Taken:
    • Engineering and vendor data collection, Hydro-Québec power systems data collection, developed P&C matrix, developed power systems studies followed by the protection relay setting file development, construction support.
  • Outcomes and Benefits for the Client:
    • A properly designed and studied system for their new operations.
