Utility Scale Solar

Utility Scale Solar O&M Critical Spares Program by Phoventus Inc.

Southern California, US | 377 MWdc Solar PV.

Across Canada and the United States, our Client Power owns and operates roughly 1 GW of solar assets. During March and April of 2019, Phoventus completed a series of multi-scope site inspections. It was for four NERC compliant utility-scale PV solar facilities, net 377 MWdc of installed capacity.

Scope of inspections included data collection for arc-flash studies and a comprehensive parts catalog of equipment in use. It also included an inspection of spare parts inventory. The data collected was used to complete arc flash studies, as well as FMEA analyses, O&M projections, and spare parts strategic planning.

About Canadian Power Engineers

Canadian Power Engineers is an Ontario-based, fully licensed, and accredited Engineering firm with a global reputation for excellence in power systems engineering. Above all, we are professional, independent, and focused on delivering value-added results to your renewable power or transportation project.

In fact, we provide engineering and procurement services to cover all aspects of your renewable energy, EV, or Remote Power project. Of course, our services are comprehensive, consisting of system engineering, design studies, and project management.

However, our firm is not a construction company and we don’t do installations ourselves. Instead, we do coordinate and provide engineering design and construction management for your chosen contractor. Unfortunately, we do not provide service to the single residence market at this time. 

Our Mission is to provide an unparalleled technical focus on the core issues affecting the ownership, reliability, and profitability of power and energy projects.

We are a driven, passionate team. Our value is our insight into the latest technology. And, we use the approaches needed to deliver our client’s projects on time and within budget. Renewable Power Specialist.
