IES has extensive experience in the analysis and design of medium and low voltage distribution system for industrial facilities. Power system equipment specifications and integration requires detailed knowledge of generation, distribution and equipment. Processing the knowledge enables IES to provide detailed design, specifications, procurement, implementation, and commissioning support in areas such as substation and utility interface, distribution systems, motor controls, power conditioning, and cogeneration. All of these services can be provided individually or as a turnkey project.

Specific experience in power systems engineering and design

• Conceptual design of cogeneration systems.

• Detailed estimating of project cost.

• 34.5kV, 13.8kV, 4.16kV, 2.4kV and 480V substation design and modifications.

• Medium voltage motor starter upgrades and modifications.

• Plant-wide power flow, fault analysis, and protective device coordination studies for 230V and 208V levels

• Electrical specifications for switchgear, medium voltage motor starters, transformers, switches, low voltage
  motor control centers, un-interruptible power supplies, automatic transfer switches, battery chargers,
  variable frequency drives, and many other electrical devices.

• Switchgear replacement and retrofits.

• De-bottleneck projects for plant electrical distribution systems.

• Power monitoring systems for industrial facilities.

• IES can also provide GE Magne Blast equipment.

Switchgear Upgrades

Switchgear upgrades can now be accomplished with new GE Power/Vac VL vacuum circuit breakers and new main switchgear bus bracing. This upgrade solution is sponsored by GE Switchgear Operations Department, Burlington, Iowa, and is normally offerend as a turnkey solution through IES who is an authorized EMO.
