The use of ground electrodes in HVDC transmission systems to provide a return path for the DC current during either normal or emergency operation has been quite common. Unfortunately corrosion and environmental issues associated with ground return current has made sighting and design of HVDC ground electrodes increasingly more challenging.
Teshmont has the skills, tools and experience to locate and design HVDC ground electrodes and to determine what effects they may have on other facilities. By helping you to incorporate ground electrodes into your system, Teshmont will help you to prevent system problems and ultimately improve the performance of your system.
In a typical Ground Electrode project Teshmont will:
Develop the design criteria and specifications for the electrode
Assess geophysical data to determine a suitable site for an HVDC electrode
Design the HVDC electrode
Estimate the electrode's effects on other facilities and the environment
Test the electrode for deficiencies and test to optimize performance
Create a comprehensive and easily decipherable project report
Benefits you will gain from using Teshmont for Ground Electrode projects:
Expert opinions of those who have worked on similar projects
Consideration of a variety of options in design and specifications to meet your specific requirements
Confidence that the electrode will be designed taking into account all known geophysical factors
Reduction in the risk of the electrode negatively impacting other facilities or the environment
