Maximising Asset Performance

The rapid expansion of renewable energy generation in New Zealand presents a distinct set of challenges. As the share of renewables feeding into the grid increases, so does the need for advanced technologies that safeguard supply stability and system reliability.

Renewable infrastructure represents a significant investment, both in upfront capital and long-term operational viability. Protecting these assets is essential to unlocking the full value of renewable energy resources.

CSE W Arthur Fisher’s tailored solutions address these challenges directly—enhancing grid stability, supporting high levels of renewable penetration, reducing downtime and ensuring compliance with industry standards. Our technologies are designed to maximise asset performance and extend operational life across diverse renewable energy applications.

Technology Supporting Renewable Energy

Generator Power Quality Monitoring and Compliance

Maintaining power quality and regulatory compliance is essential for renewable energy generation. CSE W Arthur Fisher offers continuous monitoring and data analysis tools that support Generator Performance Specification (GPS) reporting, R2 and Hold Point testing, and real-time fault detection. Our solutions also support Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS), helping to regulate frequency variations and maintain grid stability.

Power System Protection, Control and Grid Connection

Robust protection systems are critical to safeguarding renewable energy infrastructure. Our advanced relays provide line, transformer and network protection, including multistage oscillation detection to enhance grid stability. Cost-effective options are available for feeder and collector applications, supporting efficient and reliable grid connection.

Automation and Control

CSE W Arthur Fisher’s automation solutions streamline operations across renewable energy sites. Substation gateways enable seamless device communication, while dynamic load management tools such as ramping applications help maintain grid balance. Real-time dashboards and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) provide enhanced visibility and control for efficient system operation.

Asset Monitoring

Effective asset monitoring is key to optimising performance and extending equipment life. Our transformer monitoring solutions include single and multi-gas diagnostics, bushing and insulation monitoring, cooling system analysis and partial discharge detection. These tools help prevent failures and support proactive maintenance strategies.

LV & MV Fault Current Limiting Solutions

Current limiting technologies reduce the impact of fault currents on renewable energy systems. By lowering arc energy and adapting to changing fault conditions, these solutions help protect equipment, reduce downtime and minimise maintenance costs. They also support compliance and improve overall system safety.

Flow Control

From solar thermal systems to bioenergy plants, valves are used to control fluid movement, manage pressure and support system efficiency. Their role is vital in maintaining performance and ensuring compliance with grid and safety standards.
