Industry Experience
Transmission Interconnections
Excel has extensive experience working within North America's two major and three minor alternating current power grids (or interconnections), spanning from Alaska and Quebec in the north to Florida and northern Mexico in the south. All electric utilities in each respective interconnection are electrically tied together during normal system conditions, operating at an average synchronized frequency of 60Hz.
Generator Replacements
Our team specializes in assisting with the replacement of bulk generation grid services with smart grid regulation – a reality that is rapidly changing within the energy grid while shifting toward distributed generation based on renewables.
Balance of Plant
Balance of Plant (BoP) refers to the various supporting and auxiliary components of a power plant system that are required to produce energy. We work with clients' BoP systems to ensure their plants continue to run stably and efficiently, including experience with inverters, transformers, switchgear, turbines, and more.
Peaking Plants
Peaking plants (also known as peaker plants or peakers) generally run only when there is a high demand for electricity. Because they supply power only occasionally, the power takes on a much higher price per kilowatt hour than base load power. We work with clients to ensure their peaking plants are properly dispatched in combination with base load power plants to efficiently meet minimum demand.
Services
Transmission Engineering
Utilities require a significant amount of planning and forecasting to ensure the existing equipment available can keep up with demand – and if not, to determine any equipment additions required to provide the necessary network capabilities in a cost-effective manner. Transmission studies provide the information necessary to efficiently maintain resources, reliability, and design improvements.
Project & Construction Management
Challenging projects require superior organization and facilitation of scope, schedule, and budget. Using best practices and standards suited to your project, our team of experienced professionals can help you manage your project during all phases, from planning and scoping to design and construction.
Industrial Process Automation
Our team’s strong mix of process and automation know-how enables us to take projects from concept and functional requirement through implementation and commissioning, paired with our extensive experience in a wide variety of PLC/HMI and DCS platforms.
Electrical Engineering
Your industry facility and devices need safe, reliable, and smart power to enable production. Having a well-engineered design package for your industrial project can reduce costs and accelerate installation. From the incoming utility power to the plant floor, we can work with your team and the construction team to ensure the electrons go where they need to go.
