Landfill Generation
Design
Electrical Power Solutions have experience in designing the Landfill Generation sites to meet all local and National Standards. The scope of design includes HV and LV Cable Calculations, Earthing Assessments and House Supplies.
The Landfill Generation sites are designed so that in both normal and abnormal conditions there is no danger to persons arising from earth potential in any place to which they have legitimate access. The installation will be able to pass the maximum current from any fault back to the system neutral without establishing dangerous potential gradients in the ground or dangerous potential drops between parts of the substation with which a person may be in simultaneous contact.
Project Management
Electrical Power Solutions have experience in project managing the Electrical and Civil works of Landfill Generation Projects. The experience gained working with both Electrical and Civil works ensures that all the works are co-ordinated to ensure smooth workflow of the project and any unnecessary delays are avoided. The risks of the project are assessed and cross referenced with the method statements to ensure that all employees working on the Landfill Generation Sites are fully aware of all risks associated with the task.
Installation
Electrical Power Solutions employees have experience of installation works at Landfill Generation Sites across the UK. The installation works include off-loading the large plant, e.g. Generators and Transformers. The earthing installation complies with all National and Local standards as outlined in the Earthing System Design Report.
The Building Services (heating, lighting, small power) are installed to 16th edition Wiring Regulations and meet the Regional Electric Companies additional requirements (extra heating, lighting etc.)
The earthing installation includes bare earth conductor in the ground around all metalwork and also inside and outside the fence. Earth rods are also installed around the perimeter of the earthing installation.
Testing & Commissioning
The HV and LV works are commissioned to meet all National and Local standards. G.59 testing is witnessed by the Regional Electric Company to ensure correct operation of the Generator Protection under fault conditions. All commissioning works are carried out using up to date calibrated test equipment and all results are recorded and stored in the Health & Safety Files.
Operation & Maintenance
Electrical Power Solutions have extensive experience in Operation & Maintenance of Landfill Generation Projects all over the UK. EPS have recently secured a 5 year maintenance contract for over 25 Landfill Generation projects for United Utilities Green Energy which includes 6-monthly visits and checks on all items of plant within the compound.
