Integrated Power Generation Solutions
Today’s power-generating organizations lack sufficient subject matter resources in-house to tackle the engineering challenges they face, including growing NERC compliance obligations, replacing equipment, updating protection and controls schemes and relaying expertise.
With core skills in electrical engineering, system protection, automation and studies, TRC’s engineers and project managers have extensive experience working in the generation industry. Our power generation consultants will suggest a full range of engineering solutions, third-party reviews, protective relay training, construction oversight and post-modification testing and commissioning.
Because of TRC’s deep cultural focus on quality, we fully comply with station design and work control processes and ensure a seamless transition through all phases of a project.
