A busy power facility needed two new substations built from scratch to feed a re-bar manufacturing facility — a substation for the plant, and a substation for the arc furnace. They had committed to a quick completion date for both substations. However, the plant and arc furnace had two separate completion dates. If either finished late, there would have been drastic delays to production and a hit to profits. On top of this, the power facility needed an exact calibration of the substation CT’s required. Without it, there was a risk of inaccurate consumption and billing for the end user.

The utility company reached out to Aggreko to aid the construction process. We provided load on demand operation during testing. This ensured construction could be completed quickly and without a hitch. With a load bank and a trailer option for physical ease, we also provided an auxiliary power feed and a cooling fan operation. The process was carried out safely thanks to watertight logistics and continuous grid emulation for testing.
