Utility Projects

CEG performs project management for distributed generator interconnection projects, including tasks such as: protective relay settings development and review, equipment review, generation system design review, verification of interconnection requirements and witnessing of functional testing.  CEG also works with transmission providers for interconnection up to 345kV.

CEG designs interconnection substations.  Substation design, site development, material purchase and construction of all types of substations. We can furnish designs and major material quotes on fast track projects.

 

CEG can provide design or design/build services for distribution substations and transmission substation for municipal, cooperative, or investor-owned utilities.

CEG can provide a wide range of planning and operational studies for transmission and distribution systems from fault and event analysis through long-range plans.

CEG is experienced in completing equipment additions and upgrades at existing substations.  Recent work includes:

RTU Replacements - Prepared schematics and wiring diagrams for removal of existing RTU’s and annunciator panels and retrofit new RTU for multiple transmission substations.

Breaker replacements – Furnished designs for the replacement of old transmission circuit breakers with new units.

 Capacitor banks - Specification and selection of the capacitors; and design of physical, control and SCADA modifications. Each substation required a new breaker for the capacitor bank, foundations, control wiring and various modifications to the substation structures or site.

Full drafting staff and capabilities.  CEG can work to the client’s standards or help to develop standards.  We can scan old paper copies and recreate them in AutoCAD or MicroStation and make them fully editable drawings.  We can plot drawings 3 feet wide and up to 300 feet in length.

CEG has designed complete SCADA systems for municipal utilities, including management of installation and commissioning. CEG provides engineering for modification or upgrades to existing systems and also works with load management systems and automated switching schemes.
