IDEAL Electric revives generators at SoCal sanitation facility

Understanding Peak Load and Base Load Curves in Power Systems Base Load Plants: Constant, efficient, long-term supply. Peak Load Plants: Flexible, fast-start, short-term supply. A well-balanced power system needs both the stability of base load and the agility of peak load to keep our lights on and our grids stable. #ElectricalEngineering #PowerSystems #EnergyManagement #TransmissionLines #EngineeringInsights #SiteEngineerLife

In the ever-evolving landscape of power generation, California’s stringent air quality regulations have presented new challenges for businesses relying on emergency diesel power generators. Collicutt has risen to meet these challenges head-on with our innovative approach to achieving Tier 4 Final (T4F) compliance. Recently, one of our customers approached us with a requirement for two backup generators in a critical application. Both units needed to meet Tier 4 Final emissions standards while also ensuring high uptime availability. How did we solve this for our customer?

When the city of Newport, Oregon needed to upgrade their wastewater facility to keep up with an increase in population and tourism, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS was there to help. As a temporary solution, a pair of 25 hp parallel shaft gear motors with NORDAC PRO SK 500P variable frequency drives were initially provided to get the aerators running at full capacity and prove the direct drive concept would work as promised. For the project's second phase, upgrading the entire facility, NORD provided 6 additional drive systems. This complete solution keeps maintenance to a minimum in the extreme Pacific Northwest environment by including oil reservoirs and eliminating belts, sheaves, or pulleys, additionally increasing operator safety. The new gear motors were additionally proven to be 12% more energy-efficient than the legacy units, saving the facility over $30,000 annually and increasing aeration capability by more than 50%.

The Next Evolution: Moving from Turbines to Electric Drive Systems. I would very much recommend this upcoming webinar — a chance to gain practical insights into how electric drive systems can replace steam or gas turbines in running large compressors. You will gain knowledge about the key benefits, recommended electrical solutions, and how to define and manage a full scope project. On a personal note: I started my career 25 years ago designing control systems for steam and gas turbines. Today, I’m excited to support the electrification and decarbonization of industries with electric drive systems. It feels like closing a circle — from the turbine age to the electric age. This is not just an upgrade in technology; it’s a transformation in how we power the future. #electrification #abb #turbinetoelectric #decarbonization #technology
