The challenge
Our client was planning to replace their existing on-site generation, by installing a Biomass Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP) capable of generating 50MW of electrical power; part of which would be consumed by the plant with remainder exported to the National Grid.
Before doing so, our client needed to obtain a baseline of the existing (pre-CHP plant) power quality at the point of connection with the Distribution Network Operator (DNO).
Using this baseline as a reference, they could then ensure that the quality of the supply from the new commissioned plant would enable them to maintain the desired continuity of operation without any disruptions. Frazer Nash were asked to establish the power quality baseline.
