| Project Management | The project engineer - in collaboration with support staff - is responsible for ensuring the project is delivered to the agreed quality standards and budget, and in a timely fashion.
The project engineer is in touch with all aspects of the project including:
- OH&S and all related issues
- Quality Management
- Procurement
- Design Management
- Protection panel manufacture
- On site construction management
- On site commissioning
|  |
| Engineering & Design | Our highly skilled design team works closely with the suppliers of modern protection systems and as such they provide innovative and leading edge solutions to our clients. Their superior design capabilities cover the following areas:
- Design of primary plant and equipment layouts
- Design of civil and structural engineering works
- Design of substation secondary systems
- Design and integration of substation SCADA and communication systems
- Design of substation auxiliary systems
- Development of all design drawings and documentation including:
- A functional design specification (FDS)
- Detailed design drawings covering the disciplines of protection and control, electrical, civil and structural, earthing and building installations
- Preparation of SCADA I/O listings, relay configurations and relay logics
- System studies and protection settings
- Preparation of Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) documentation
- Preparation of commissioning plans
|  |
| Procurement | With regard to procurement we can offer the following advantages and benefits to our clients:
As a local Australian company we have well established relationships and subsequent strong buying power with major suppliers:
- Primary/Secondary Plant and Systems - Siemens; Reyrolle; SEL; ABB; Areva; GE Multilin; RMS; GE Harris; Logica, Electropar etc
- Auxillary equipment - Phoenix contact, ipd, cabac, etc
We can provide cost effective combinations of equipment for any project as we are not exclusively tied to any one supplier.

| Factory Acceptance Testing/Site Acceptance Testing/Commissioning | Power System Design performs commissioning work using in-house engineers.
Our secondary system design engineers produce Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) procedures, as well as commissioning plans which are developed specifically in accordance with the project scope of works as part of the design process.
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
Before equipment is sent to site, a full series of Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) are conducted and comprehensive FAT documentation is produced. The Factory Acceptance Tests range from general wiring tests through to full functional testing of relays/logic and communications back to a master station simulator. As part of the FAT procedure, the secondary drawings are also revised to factory “As built” prior to issuing for final construction.
Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)
Our engineers lead the testing teams to ensure that the installed equipment meets the design requirements. A full series of Site Acceptance Tests are conducted and comprehensive SAT documentation is produced which is made available to the client prior to energisation of equipment.
Power System Design has vast experience in the commissioning of HV substations and switchyards including the critical aspects of secondary circuit isolations in existing substations.
|  |
| Construction | Power System Design has a site construction management capability and our resources and expertise in this area will be applied to augment the capability of subcontractors.
Power System Design uses its in-house project management personnel to ensure that the project works are carried out in line with the design requirements, and delivered to the required quality standards and completed in a timely fashion to meet the project program.
This ensures that we have the required control over on-site processes in order to achieve the required project delivery, installation quality, safety and environmental standards.
