The subject of power in this current era of climate consciousness and sustainability is an ever increasing consideration and theme for many of our clients and the diverse markets sectors they participate in.
GHD's services approach appreciates and incorporates whole-of-life considerations when delivering professional technical services across the entire power value chain from generator to consumer. Access advice on a diverse range of power generation and delivery technology across areas such as:
- Conventional fossil fuel power generation utilising coal, gas, diesel and waste heat fuels (e.g. sub-critical and super-critical coal-fired plants, open cycle and combined cycle gas turbines and reciprocating engine cogeneration)
- Renewable energy (solar PV, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, geothermal, digester gas. landfill gas and biomass)
- Waste to Energy (WTE) systems that combine GHD’s capability in waste management, environmental services and power systems to recover energy from urban and agricultural waste residues
- Transmission and distribution networks including power lines, substations and site reticulation to efficiently, effectively and reliably deliver power to meet clients' needs
- Emerging energy storage technologies such as batteries, and their applications within microgrids, that are transforming the energy sector
- Grid connection of both generation and large end-users, including feasibility, system modelling and negotiation of performance standards and access arrangements
- Regulation of electricity networks, including due diligence and advisory services for regulatory determinations
- Facility power distribution design, motor control (full-voltage, reduced voltage soft start, variable speed, etc) and standby power design for low and medium voltage systems
- Hydropower development including pumped storage, combining capabilities in dam, tunnel, underground works, electrical connections and infrastructure to progress a project cost-effectively
We are helping clients tackle a complex future being shaped by disruptive forces and increased regulation and scrutiny.
