Services
Gridwise Consulting delivers specialised services focused exclusively on HDVC control and protection systems. Support can be provided at any project phase – from early concept definition to commissioning and operation.
Control System Engineering
Overview
Support in the specification, design and validation of HVDC control systems, with a strong focus on modular architectures and dynamic performance.
Key Activities
- Requirements definition and review.
- Control architecture design.
- Power and current control strategies.
- Software-level design support.
- Model-based validation.
Innovation Highlight
Gridwise Consulting introduces a modular, software-oriented and model-validated approach to HVDC control engineering, enabling early performance verification and reuse across projects.
Modular Control Architecture
Modular, reusable software-oriented architecture.
Protection System Engineering
Overview
System-level support for HVDC protection schemes, focusing on coordination, selectivity and interaction with control systems.
Key Activities
- Protection philosophy definition.
- Requirement specification.
- Interaction analysis.
- Validation support.
Innovation Highlight
Protection behaviour is assessed early through system-level modelling, reducing uncertainty during commissioning.
Model-Based Testing & Validation
Overview
Integration of MiL, SiL, and HiL validation as core engineering activities. Stability, fault response, and dynamic performance analysis.
Validation Pyramid
Early validation reduces late-stage risk.
Commissioning & Operational Support
Overview
Engineering support during commissioning, troubleshooting and operational optimisation.
Factory and system test preparation (FST & FAT).
Test specification review and execution support.
Site commissioning and energisation assistance.
Training & Knowledge Transfer
Overview
Tailored technical training services designed to strengthen client capability in HVDC control, protection and software-based engineering.
Key Activities
- HVDC control theory and system behaviour.
- Advanced Power and current control regulation.
- Low-level control software concepts.
- Interaction between control and protection.
- Practical interpretation of models and tests.
Innovation Highlight
Training is tightly coupled with real project models and implementations, enabling practical understanding rather than purely theoretical instruction.
Delivery Format
- Project-specific workshops.
- Structured technical courses.
- On-site or remote delivery.
