BUSINESS CHALLENGES WE MITIGATE
Economic growth is being challenged by weak power systems in Africa:
- Poor network stability, which causes load shedding and hampers daily operations
- Lack of power transfer capacity, which limits economic growth opportunities
- Poor power quality, such as harmonics, dips and voltage stability which reduces industrial production and increases operating costs
- Fluctuating voltages damages equipment
THE GLENCULLEN TEAM PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Our project experience builds our body of knowledge that enables our engineering and project execution excellence. Featured projects include:
- 100’s of projects in harmonic filters and capacitor banks from 6.6kV up to 765kV in Southern Africa
- EdM Three fixed series capacitor banks 220kV total 260MVAr
- HCB Songo 220kV 200MVAr AC filter 3 for the HVDC station
- Static Var Compensators (SVCs) up to 103MVAr (EdM, Mumi)
- Statcoms (SVGs) up to 30MVAr (EdM, Umeme)
- Eskom Shunt Capacitor banks up to 400kV
- Metalloys 4x 33kV rapid switching 3rd harmonic filters

LEADING TECHNOLOGY
- We partner with the best global OEMs, who provide world class technology solutions, such as NR Electric (SVC, Statcom), Siemens, Trench, Eaton's Cooper.
- Managing suppliers is an art we have perfected over many years of working with our OEMs.
- Our engineers have spent a lot of time collaborating with the OEM engineers so that they are expert with their technology and can resolve issues quickly.
LOCAL APPLICATION ENGINEERING
- With our strategic partners, we are able to provide the local professional engineering talent to integrate the technology into customised solutions for our customers at a much more affordable price.
- We believe that it is important that the engineers (ours & the clients') who commissioned the system are the engineers that respond to problems that may arise, so that they have intimate knowledge of the system, are nearby, and can rectify problems speedily.
LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING
- Training and development of the client's engineers, local engineering contractors, and local labour is an important component of our service.
- We prefer that the client engineers work alongside our engineers throughout the process to maximise skills transfer to them.
- Considering the impact of our solution provides to end users, it is important to have a local response team who can who can operate and maintain the technology effectively and efficiently.
