2.- Services
2.1 Power System Consulting

These activities are performed considering several aspects such as:

          
Our attention is always oriented to solve customer problems.
          
Wide experience obtained in the development of similar projects
          
A vision oriented to obtain the best technical solution considering also non
technical factors such as the economical ones, proposing solutions with high
feasibility in all senses.

These consulting services may be derivate in a wide range of themes which result interesting for
engineers in charge of:

          
Planning
          
Designing
          
Maintenance
          
Operating electrical power and industrial systems

In all the cases, the support provided is helpful to sizing, selecting, verifying equipment; determine
improvements to the network in order to take advantage of the equipment already installed.

2.2 Electrical Variables Monitoring

By using specialized equipment (Dranetz, Fluke) that allows performing measurements of any
electrical variable of importance in electrical facilities.

This monitoring is very useful to determine:

          
Power Quality of the electrical system
          
Electrical Power Consumption
          
Energy Savings Opportunities
          
Specific Equipment Performance
          
Transients Affecting Equipment Performance

2.3 Power System Studies

Funken Ingenieros provides detailed and comprehensive analysis based on computer simulation
tools and a specialized team of engineers that allow obtaining a very accurate response of the
electrical system.

Among the studies that can be offered are:

          
Load Flow
          
Overloading elements
          
Contingencies analysis
          
Load Growing
          
Power Factor
          
Voltage Improvement
          
Generation Needs
          
Short-Circuit
          
Symmetrical – Asymmetrical
          
ANSI / IEC
          
Protection Analysis
          
Schemes Design
          
Setting Calculation
          
Harmonic Analysis
          
Filter Design
          
Dynamic Studies
          
Transient Stability

Arc Flash Hazard

If you need more information about any particular study, please, do not hesitate to contact us

2.4 Testing

The commissioning and routine testing of the electrical equipment is very important in order to
assure the good conditions of the power system elements and be certain that there is not an
excessive aging of them.

Among the testing performed:

          
Relays Testing
          
Performance of relays
          
End to end
          
Incorrect wiring
          
Grounding Resistance
          
Soil Resistivity

2.5 Trainings in Power Systems Topics

Some experience has been gained in trainings about Power System Topics, from basic concepts
to the ones about specialized software applications, that may include practical solution of
problems.

This is a very important aspect because, it has proven to be useful as a complementary activity
after/before the execution of consulting activities, and it gives some criteria and tools to engineers
to improve their day to day activities.
