Data Center Commissioning

Validate Power and Cooling Systems

• Wi-Fi IP addressable for multi-unit control

• Water cooled load banks for cooling validation

• PDU, CRAC, ATS, UPS

Test Power Quality and DC Systems

• UPS input and output checks

• Up to 100 Wi-Fi probes/unit, multi-unit capable

Integrated System Testing

• Rack-mount and Whole-room testing

14

Substation Commissioning

• Substations up to 230kV can be commissioned quickly and safely

• Tests all critical components in an integrated system test: o Protective Relays o Current transformers o Voltage transformers o Breaker equipment o Control and SCADA systems

• Turnkey support streamlines planning, logistics, and execution

15

Utility Solar Commissioning

• Most common types of inverters are: 600kW-900kW o Products 2-2.2MW being

released late 2016 • Anti Islanding protection requirements

o Required testing completed with R/L/C load bank

o Required to satisfy UL1741 and IEEE 1547.1 test requirements

• Communication/Control system- sleep/wake modes, GPS tracking

• Manufacturer type testing (European and Asian importing manufacturers only)

16

Wind Commissioning Solutions

• Wind Farm Commissioning tests can be performed to maintain project schedule, even if the grid connection is not available.

• Diesel Generators and load banks create a simulated grid connection/substation for each collector

• Capable of simulating startup and power generation of the turbines for each collection point in a wind farm

17

VALUE OF LOAD TESTING

18

Value of load testing through the equipment lifecycle

Commissioning

Maintenance

System Updates

• Proves equipment is properly integrated

• Tests all critical components

• Validates operation and efficiency

• Critical for complex systems with multiple components, devices, firmware, and software

• Verifies corrective action or system design change

• Valuable for re-commissioning

19

Value of Load Testing During Integrated System Test

Save time • Maintain schedule and coordination with scheduled shutdown • Engineering resources scheduled to a fixed date prior to construction • Allows for periodic maintenance testing of protection and

communication system

Lower Cost • Minimize unplanned overtime due to weather or load conditions • Embedded contingency reduces risk insurance cost

Increase Productivity

• Engineering focused on defining deliverables, not work-arounds • Effectively schedule craft labor resources • Minimize impact of weather on project schedule

Reduce Risk • Reduced liability from accurately simulating load (Resistive, reactive and step functions)

• Eliminate risk of using customer load • Regular maintenance testing improves availability of system

Best Practices

Facility Optimization

Advanced controls allow operator to control entire load bank string remotely

Allows for more sophisticated modeling of electrical load steps and dynamic thermal load

The Water Cooled offering EXLS 250 and LBW 500. Auto-flow control that allows the user

to program the desired Delta T and the unit will control the flow to provide the desired value.
