In the evolving landscape of energy systems, where the push for electrification and renewable energy sources is stronger than ever, the challenges of maintaining power quality and stability are paramount. At DIS/CREADIS, we have honed our engineering capabilities to address these challenges effectively.
We specialize in supporting, designing, and validating all steps from conceptualization to integration. Our expertise extends to optimizing power plants to minimize losses and prolong their operational lifespan.
Our engineering competencies are rooted in a deep understanding of both renewable energy sources and storage, as well as Power to X ( PtX ) technologies. This multifaceted knowledge enables us to offer complete solutions tailored to your specific needs. We focus on key areas such as component sizing, flicker and voltage fluctuation avoidance, harmonic and frequency variation prevention, and Fault Ride Through (FRT) capabilities. Additionally, we excel in analyzing both capital and operational expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX), ensuring a balanced and efficient system.
To ensure system stability, we employ advanced simulation tools and software for load flow analysis, root mean square (RMS), and electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations. We stress test your system to validate its robustness and uncover potential issues before they become problems.
Grid compliance
Our engineers excel in maneuvering through the intricate challenges of grid code compliance. We assist you through the application process, developing the necessary documentation to ensure your system complies with international standards such as IEC 61000 3, IEC 61400 21, EN 50549 1, and IEC 61851 21, among others. Whether connecting power generating or power demanding plants to low, medium, or high voltage grids, we have the engineering capabilities to ensure a smooth, compliant process.
