SERVICES

DESIGN

Distinctive in-house design services, offering engineered customer-specific solutions through proactive engineering, by experienced design engineers, using state-of-the-art software.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Gibson Technologies uses the Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert energy supply management software for all of its large sites. This award-winning software helps  power-critical, energy-intensive facilities maximise uptime and operational efficiency by utilising IoT connectivity and distributed intelligence. Using the most advanced energy visualisation and analysis tools to calculate, model, forecast and track your key energy performance indicators (EnPIs), the Electric EcoStruxure PME provides the flexibility and adaptability needed for today and the IoT-enabled future.

POWER FACTOR CORRECTION (PFC)

Tailor-made PFC with condition monitoring for maximum uptime and self-diagnostics.

Our custom site-specific designs are based on our recorded data from the site, which includes voltage variation, harmonics, and ambient temperature. For sites running at maximum available power, the power factor becomes critical to maintain load. We therefore supply a condition-monitored system integrated with SCADA, giving the operator real-time feedback about the system’s status and health.

Not mixing temperature-sensitive equipment with high power loss components, keeps the power factor bank cool constantly.

INSTRUMENTATION

Precise selection and placement of sensors and instrumentation for maximum stability.

Through experience and fault finding we have built up a knowledge-base for selecting the correct sensor for the application.

PLC, SCADA & SQL PROGRAMMING & REPORTING

Valuable tools to assist users with interaction and control of plants for optimum production, with minimum down time.

A real time monitoring SCADA interface allows a single operator to control and monitor a large plant.

Distributed control systems eliminate the use of multi-core cables, reducing the complexity of plant wiring/installation while simplifying fault finding. Site installation and cable cost is reduced drastically.

Database recording of production, operational, energy and maintenance data allows for in-depth reporting and optimisation of the production process, affording our clients a competitive edge in the market. Recorded data can be used for machine learning and data mining, giving new insights to existing processes.

TRANSFORMERS, GENERATORS & CHANGE OVER SYSTEMS

Effective electrical supply solutions through reticulation, dual triple change-over systems, synchronised generator change-overs, and step-up/step-down transformers.

  • Transformer sizing and specifications.
  • Supply, install, test and commissioning of oil and resin core transformers.
  • Step-up, Step-down transformer configurations for long distance LT distribution.
  • Temperature, pressure and Buchholz monitoring through SCADA interface.
  • Generator sizing and specifications, including maximum step loads.
  • Reticulation, dual triple change-over systems and synchronised generator change-overs.

DISTRIBUTION BOARDS & SYSTEMS

Modular-based enclosures catering for future expansion, accompanied by complete design and full load-flow analysis.

A full load-flow analysis ensures correct cascading and discrimination between circuit breakers. Regular discrimination curves supplied by catalogues fail to consider the equipment failure curves, especially transformer primary/secondary damage curves and transformer inrush current.

Motor starting current and special loads are also considered when designing distribution boards. Motor regeneration on a fault condition is calculated and considered in the short circuit rating of panels.

MOTOR CONTROL CENTRE

3D-designed panels driven by first-class electrical design.

The 3D layout for each site ensures that the MCC maximises the available space. The individual heat dissipation of each component is considered to accurately determine the cooling requirements of each cabinet.

A digital twin, complete with part numbers, gives a visual representation of the MCC, assisting remote support and eliminating the need for a call out.

Standardisation reduces the critical spare count and complexity of the system.

MAINTENANCE & 24H SUPPORT

Preventative maintenance, remote support & breakdowns.

All MCC and systems that we design and supply allow for remote support and fault-finding. PLCs, weighing systems, and VSDs can be configured and programmed remotely, significantly reducing downtime.

For critical operations, a Service Level Agreement is recommended, which can include the following and more:

  • 24h/7 remote/phone support
  • Fault finding
  • Critical spares

For new customers, the process is as follows:

  • Maintenance audit to evaluate the site condition
  • Identify and label equipment
  • Develop a maintenance plan
  • Schedule maintenance activities, including external and internal personnel.
