Selected work
A snapshot of recent E&I, SCADA/EMS and protection deliveries.
The first megawatt charger for ships in the Port of Amsterdam. Shore-power infrastructure enabling vessels to plug in at berth, eliminating engine emissions while docked, with grid integration, MV/LV distribution and commissioning.
Pilot integration of on-site solar PV, DC fast chargers and electrolyzer technology into a low-carbon microgrid demonstrator at the Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam.
PosHYDon is the offshore green-hydrogen pilot — a ~1 MW electrolyser on the Neptune Energy Q13a-A gas platform in the North Sea, first tested onshore. APARA delivered the electrical engineering for the electrolyser's temporary power supply: ETAP single-line diagram, load-flow, short-circuit, protection-coordination and earthing studies, plus inspection and commissioning protocols.
HV connection engineering, transformer sizing and ETAP load flow for megawatt-class DC fast chargers at a heavy-duty truck and car charging network.
Load flow and short-circuit analysis for EV charger integration into an existing industrial electrical network at a major industrial gases facility.
System design and commissioning for charging stations combined with solar PV and battery storage to maximise renewable self-consumption and avoid grid reinforcement.
HV-LV engineering, lifetime extension, procurement and installation of switchgear upgrades and retrofits — from MCC to high voltage switchgear.
ETAP and Vision-based electrical network model update and distribution protection settings review with operational testing for a large Europoort terminal operator.
E&I design, ATEX classification, MV/LV power distribution and instrumentation for a Sustainable Aviation Fuel blending and load-out facility within an existing terminal.
End-to-end E&I EPC for a food facility upgrade — detail engineering, procurement, panel build, installation supervision, FAT/SAT and commissioning.
ATEX stainless-steel cabinet, filter skid and PLC + HMI system for gas treatment. Engineering, PLC programming, panel build, FAT and commissioning.
Engineering, supply, installation and commissioning of two electrical heater panels including FAT, SAT and full as-built documentation for an industrial gases company.
Mutual influence studies between HV power systems and parallel pipelines.
Engineering and supply of remote control panels for distributed industrial sites where instrumentation interfacing, communications architecture, FAT and commissioning was undertaken.
Electrification verification for unmanned North Sea platform operation. Performed load flow, reliability and safety assurance using ETAP modelling.
ETAP-based feasibility and load shedding analysis for single-turbine operation on a North Sea offshore platform.
Electrical performance assessment and ETAP-based modelling of a 15.8 km coaxial submarine cable for offshore platform electrification in the North Sea.
