Commissioning
Documented testing and commissioning is essential to ensure systems are correctly brought into service and evidence records are maintained. Blue Planet Consulting has the experience to understand that documented results provide the evidence that is required for compliance accreditation and that accuracy is fundamental to success when it comes to internal and external audits.
Blue Planet Consulting has experience of:
- Battery life cycle trending - a simple test to check cell condition and detect how well the battery has aged
- Load tests - using portable resistive and inductive load banks to simulate conditions for the power supply equipment, ensuring the installation can support the real load when required
- Generator load testing - impact, duration and overload tests
- Thermal imaging - using an infrared camera to identify hotspots and potential fault points in the equipment
- Integrated system test - a controlled test or series of tests with the mains power disconnected from the system to test the integrity of the backup protection
- Black building test - a simulation of a total power failure leading to operational shutdown to test business continuity capabilities
- Fuel and oil sampling - independent laboratory analysis for predictive maintenance of oil and fuel systems
- Power condition monitoring - using waveform analysis equipment
In addition, Blue Planet Consulting can work with testing schedules produced by the client or another professional team or can develop a bespoke testing schedule from start to finish.
