Advanced Energy Lab
Substation Testing Services for Consistent, Reliable Power
Building reliability into substations is a critical requirement for power delivery. Ulteig built our Advanced Energy Lab to provide the substation and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system testing needed to get systems into the field faster — and with far fewer pitfalls than in-field testing.
Our engineers design, configure and test RTU programs, relay settings and communication networks in the lab to develop unique solutions and confirm functionality before rolling them out in the field.
We offer substation pretesting for:
- SCADA RTU programs
- HMI Screens
- Programmable automation controller (PAC) configurations
- Relay communications
- Communication networks
- RAS and CRAS programs
