Power Quality for Seajacks

A case study about our expertise at work in the Maritime and Marine sector

Power Management Design and Build provided Seajacks with Power Quality experts on board their monopile installation vessel, Zaratan.

The project was to resolve issues with power quality causing slip ring assemblies to burn out between the sea water pump and the inverters. Our experts specified appropriate filters to improve lifespan of the slip rings.

The project involved numerous diagnostic tests using 200MHz Fluke scope meters and harmonic analysers.

Harmonic mitigation for stage lighting for Royal Opera House

A case study about our expertise at work in the Media and Entertainment sector

A senior consultant at Power Management Design and Build was called in by the Royal Opera House to work alongside their prime contractors Ove Arup and Schneider Electric.

The project was well advanced and the opening night was quickly approaching but sign-off by the distribution network operator (DNO) could not go ahead without an intervention that they deemed necessary. 

By identifying the pre-load characteristics and by supplying and installing the proper remedial equipment, Power Management Design and Build consultants were able to assemble a team to work across weekends with just two shutdowns.

As a result the stage lighting was approved for operation by EDF. 

"Your work assured the re-opening of the Royal Opera House could go ahead on time," said Mark White, Regional Manager at ETC Ltd.

Savings and Efficiency for Denny Bros

A case study about our expertise at work in the Industrial sector

Denny Bros, a global leader in multi-page labelling and printing solutions for pharmaceutical, agro-chemical and retail sectors, achieved registration to ISO 14001 in 2008 has been systematically reducing energy use across the business. 

This has been achieved through a number of separate initiatives including photovoltaics, lighting upgrades, heating management and improved building insulation.

Voltage Optimisation manufactured by Power Management Design and Build was specified and installed in conjunction with the photovoltaics in March 2014. The installation process was well managed with no overrun.

"Installing the VO Unit has resulted in a reduction in energy usage of 14% since installation. Combining this with PV has reduced our total usage by around 25% which is fantastic, and will provide an overall payback of around 3 years. It is anticipated that there will be other benefits of the VO system in reducing loading on the fixed wire installation and controlling power surges in the factory" said Julian Colman, Quality and Environmental Manager at Denny Bros.

“It really is satisfying hearing back from Denny Bros with such great results and positive feedback about the work we have done. Reducing energy costs and carbon footprint is our core business and something we pride ourselves in achieving for all our clients” Lee said Lee Gardner, Director of Power Management Design and Build.
