Powerhertz

Powerhertz provides specialist grid connection engineering services to the power generation and distribution industry. We specialise in providing end-to-end solution for connection of Renewable Generation BESS, Solar Farm, Hybrid plants and Synchronous Condensers and Generators to the grid. We undertake the connection studies required by the NSP and AEMO for the establishment of the Generator Performance Standard for the new generator, R0 and R1 modelling and GPS studies. We facilitate the registration process and undertake the Hold Point testing & R2 model validation.

Powerhertz has been operating in the space of  excitation system and turbine governor model development as well as solar farm and wind farm generator performance standard compliance studies. We also can do Hold Point testing and model validation, setting up compliance monitoring program, generator compliance testing.

Our Experience

The engineers of Powerhertz have the power industry accreditation and experience in the design, commissioning and modelling of generator control system and protection system for renewable and synchronous generation.

Powerhertz’ capability in the grid connection and generator performance testing space extends to:

  • Grid Connection
  • Power system studies
  • BESS, Solar and Hybrid Generation Connection Studies (as per AEMO and NSP requirements for approval of connection (R0 study) and registration (R1 study) of new generators
  • Modelling including model source code development
  • GPS studies
  • Generator Compliance Testing / Hold Point testing
  • R2 model validation
  • Power Quality analysis
  • Generator Protection Coordination Study and Secondary injection testing
