FortEng’s engineers are passionate about designing, testing and modelling electrical machines and their controllers, renewable and hybrid energy systems, and traditional and complex power systems and elements, for power system analysis and design.
Our forte is working with you to ensure your power and energy equipment and systems are giving maximum return on investment. FortEng specialises in technical and operational investigations, compliance testing and monitoring, model development, simulations and model validation. FortEng develops test methods that are sympathetic to operational constraints and the safety of your equipment and personnel.
FortEng believes in providing real and practical engineering support to our clients.
Generator and power system modelling and testing
• Model development and coding (including releasable user guide (RUG) development)
• Generator model validation testing and analysis (generators, energy sources, supplies
and controllers, AVR/excitation, limiters, PSS and governor systems)
• R1 and R2 models (solar, thermal, hydro, wind, wave, hybrid)
• Power system simulations – dynamic, transient, load flow, fault level
Compliance assessments (program development, testing and analysis)
• Generators
• Network Customers
• Network Service Providers
• Regulatory Authorities
Power quality monitoring, analysis and applications
• Causal analysis and investigations
• Warranty issues and insurance claims
• Technical standard compliance
• Statutory obligations
• Motor starting and operating investigations
• Variable speed drives operation
• Harmonics
Commissioning Support
• Hold point assistance for generator grid connections
