Load Bank Testing a New Natural Gas Power Plant
The last thing plant operators need when they’re in the middle of a power failure is underperforming stand-in generators. During this critical time, it’s vital that they act fast to save time and excess costs getting the generators backed up and functioning properly. This is where load bank testing comes in. The process makes sure that, if and when a plant’s mains power goes down unexpectedly, the stand-in power generators don’t falter under the pressure. Timely solutions are much needed during a power outage, but it’s even more cost-effective and time-saving to uncover any problems in a controlled environment before a power failure - which is exactly what load bank testing does.
