Balance of Plant
Products
These critical steps ensure that the various subsystems within the powerplant are properly considered when the control system architecture is developed. These systems include:
•Switchgear
•Governors
•Exciters
•Battery and inverter systems
•AC and DC distribution panels
•Safety and disconnect switches
•HVAC, fire and security systems
•Energy management systems
•Wide area networks and communication
systems
•Distributed Control Systems (DCS)
•Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) systems
•Turbine Shutoff Valve (TSV) Controls
At times during the design of a hydro project, some aspects of the important equipment that comprises the balance of plant is overlooked. This equipment is critical to the overall successful integration and operation of a quality project.
At North American Phoenix, our engineers have vast experience on the plant floor, which enables them to effectively consider the entire powerplant and control application, as well as the connection to the balance of plant equipment and the outside world when performing the initial design work.
