Choosing a Controls group
Choosing a Controls group
(OP)
Group,
I have recently been tasked with locating a controls group for a ring bus project that will incorporate an new utility feed, a Cogen plant, and a production facility (including switch gear and stand-by generators, UPS....)I would like some input on what criteria for a matrix would be beneficial. Currently we have a variety of mixed controls to include Square D, Encorp, and GE. Encorp is the controls vendor for the cogen but have recently gone through a re-organization and are somewhat questionable in their resource capabilities.

RE: Choosing a Controls group
Are you looking for a company to do the controls? Or are you looking for a vendor that does power?

Dashiell is well known for substation design. I do not know about load sheading or load sharing issues. There are groups within GE Power Systems that can do all of the above. Many of the general engineering contractors have a power group. Where are the job or engineering locations?
