Valen Power Engineering Ltd

Clock change has been and gone but work isn't slowing down at Valen Power Engineering. One of the key projects we've been working on recently is the smart street project, where our engineers have been replacing old 11/0.4kV transformers with new, including on load LV tap changers. These transformers allow effective voltage regulation on 400V circuits to mitigate the effects of low carbon technology, permitting further decarbonisation of our electricity networks. Valen Power Engineering take full operational responsibility for the planning and on site delivery of these transformer changes, ensuring that each change is completed in a single working day, thus ensuring customer's supplies are as secure as possible.

It's always satisfying to throw the switch to energise a new grid transformer for the first time - this one located in the South East of England. Valen Power Engineering Ltd carried out all aspects of the cold commissioning on the new iDNO compound, before handing over to our team of SAPs to enact the commissioning switching programme in conjunction with the host DNO. Now on to final on-load tests and energisation of the associated Solar Farm before hand over of the assets to the iDNO.

It's starting to heat up (this week very literally 🥵) on our next project on behalf of Statera Energy at Thurrock Flexible Generation Plant. The main items of plant have been installed and are undergoing cold commissioning by the OEM prior to handover to the EPC contractor. Valen Power are delighted to be continuing our relationship with Statera on this project, providing due diligence to the commissioning activities and supporting with engineers to run the electrical safe systems of work. We're looking forward to the rest of the year and successful energisation of one of the largest BESS projects under construction in the UK at the moment!

Valen Power Engineering Ltd are thrilled to announce that we've recently been engaged by Ipsum to provide Senior Authorised Persons to support the roll out of the LineSIGHT project on the Electricity North West overhead network. LineSIGHT is an innovative solution developed by Kelvatek to monitor the health of overhead networks and provide advanced fault location services including detection of low hanging conductors. James Borland , VPEL's operations director, said "We're proud to be supporting two leading companies within our industry in the roll out of this ground breaking technology"

Good to be assisting the EDS HV team again last week. This time for an outage at Triton Knoll Wind Farm at the on-shore sub with maintenance of the 400, 220 & 33kV AIS switchgear.

Welcome to the team Cam!

Happy to share my experience of going offshore for the first time last week! Conducting a substation inspection on HV apparatus, just a week after completing my GWO training. It was an incredible opportunity to put my newly aquired skills to practical use.

A big milestone has been achieved on our next big transmission connected BESS project with the 275/33kV transformer assembly now complete and pre-commissioning checks underway. Valen Power Engineering will be completing all commissioning of the balance of plant apparatus including all 4 33kV switchrooms, the 275kV AIS compound and testing the interface to the user owned bay at the National Grid substation. We're looking forward to assisting our valued clients achieve successful outcome for the project.
