APSB offers transmission and distribution system planning services. APSB has extensive experience in modelling and analysis of system loads, preparation of recommendations and project costs to support forecasted growth trends. APSB primarily utilizes state of the art software to conduct transmission and distribution system analysis. APSB offers planning services in conducting and preparing Two, Three or Four Year Construction Work Plans and Twenty Year Long Range Plans. With each Construction Work Plan, APSB can coordinate with the relevant authorities and file all necessary forms for approval of the Plans.
APSB also offers feasibility study services. We can provide full studies with regards to distributed generation interconnection feasibility where we will analyze the effects of interconnecting distributed generation to the power system and identifying the necessary system improvements to ensure that there is minimal impact to power quality on the existing system. We can also perform feasibility studies which analyze the effects of potential load or system reconfiguration to identify impact to reliability and power quality. As a result, APSB can provide a report for interconnection feasibility reports which will include a cost estimate of necessary system improvements to facilitate the connection
APSB routinely performs transmission and distribution system Sectionalizing Studies. An accurate and up-to-date Sectionalizing Study is key to limiting outages in terms of occurrence and lengths. APSB can tailor the scope of a Sectionalizing Study to analyze exactly what is needed with an ability to review protection and coordination from transmission down through distribution fusing. Sectionalizing Studies are executed by evaluating existing device ratings and placement, system layout, available fault currents by way of system impedances and coordination of devices.
APSB also has the ability perform Arc Flash Studies. Arc Flash Studies are performed by analyzing existing protection equipment and calculating the corresponding available fault current to identify potential arc flash hazards. The conclusion of each Arc Flash Study report includes recommendations to remediate arc flash hazards identified in the study.
