Power Management Consultant Needed

04/17/2007 1:03 AM

Hello friends

I am looking for a Power Management Consultant for 6 - 18 months + of work regarding the design, spec, purchase and commissioning supervision of a power generation system that has existing 6 small 5 MW turbine generators, currently on individual loads, not paralleled, but within 200 meters of each other (all together) scattered here and there in a production plant (upgraded several times and they just added a new generator and a new feeders for those new loads each time, not a common bus to another generator). Now, we want to spec some switchgear additions to parallel all these (easy) and then manage the power by load sharing and load shedding (easy but time consuming to design). I am not looking for advice on how to do this as I am quite comfortable with that (messy, but doable), but I am looking for a consultant to baby sit the design on my behalf (working next to a major engineering company in charge of this now but who is short on EEs, as we all are), and working with a standard software and hardware supplier such as ABB, Seimens, GE, or ???? who supplies such systems. We need a person who has EXACT experience doing this EXACT work without supervision, who knows power distribution as well as engine / generator control. The turbines need an upgrade of governor controls for load sharing (currently isochronous boards . . no big deal to add load sharing boards) and the rest is designing and programming the 'system' to start / stop units depending on bus capacity and load shed when we loose a machine, or adding back when we gain a machine. Load shedding would be by knocking off feeder breakers all over the plant here and there on a priority basis (some new switch gear needed for that also). We will not have the time to watch over this person after the first 30 days of project introduction, etc. They must 'fly' alone but will have a team of 1-2 EEs to do his/her detailed work under supervision. Email me via this link by clicking my name. I cannot put more details on a public forum for security reasons.

Thanks

George

Can you tell us where the site is located?? State? or Country? That might have a direct bearing on the interest. Are dependents allowed?

I think we found a person but until they are on board and going I'll still answer questions. I believe it when I see him and he stays more than 2 days !!! Contract position only, but, in this game you will likely be offered a permanent job along the way somewhere. If interested, you need to click my name and send a private reply since I can't disclose more details here due to security (corporate security of keeping project confidential). Engineering will be done in very nice 1st world country other than USA but project installation is in 3rd world country with +25*C warmest and -40*C coldest. Culturally interesting place. Engineering, spec writing, evaluating and purchase of the system, detailed engineering and watching over it being built will all be done in 1st world countries with travel heavy if supplier is in a different country than your base engineering office (and it will likely be). A few trips to site will be needed to look around and measure up a few things along the way equaling a week each trip, no more. Then during installation you would likely live at the site for 2 months of trouble shooting. That's all I can say. Send a private mail and I'll reply back.
