  • Network wide infrastructure system planning and scoping
  • Fast is experienced in all aspects of large distributed SCADA systems. From the Energy Management System (EMS) in control centres, to remote communications and backbones, to the substation plant, HMIs, IEDs, RTUs, field wiring and primary plant
  • Tender scoping and evaluations
  • We adhere to industry best practice for network and site system security and can advise and implement appropriate architectures as necessary
  • We have a very broad range of experience with many diverse SCADA systems across a range of substations, plant and equipment. Due to this experience we are able to project manage, plan, design, implement and commission upgrades and replacements on legacy systems
  • System Integration involves pulling together diverse technical equipment into streamlined solutions to act as one system
  • It is where the design is implemented and the equipment is programmed and tested
  • Fast specialises in System Integration and working with multiple vendors from varying "vintages"
  • We're experienced in all aspects of large distributed SCADA systems. From the Energy Management System (EMS) in control centres, to remote communications and backbones, to the substation/plant HMIs, IEDs and RTUs and all the way out to the field wiring and primary plant
  • Our top down design approach allows for scalability and means a standardised and consistent system interface across all sites in the network
  • We have preferred systems we work with, but are constantly learning and integrating multiple vendors and their product ranges
  • We have a very broad range of experience with many diverse SCADA systems across a range of substations, plant and equipment. Due to this experience we are able to project manage, plan, design, implement and commission upgrades and replacements on legacy systems
  • Fast can design and integrate your entire substation with new IEC 61850 technology
  • We can design and implement both Station Bus and Process Bus
  • We take a top down approach and design from the substation level (creating the SSD file) not just from the IED level files (SCD/IID/CID)
  • IED design and programming
  • HMI design and programming
  • Gateway programming
  • Network topology design for performance, security, redundancy, segmentation and appropriate subnetting
  • RTUs allow for remote monitoring and control of a substation via interfacing to the local plant
  • Local plant indications and alarms are collated and then usually supplied to a local HMI or remote control centre
  • RTUs extend the local functionality of a substation to a desired remote location
  • They are capable of communicating via various communications protocols and mediums
  • Fast is experienced in designing and implementing large scale distributed RTU networks for multi voltage substations
  • Fast is highly experienced in designing local RTU based automated control algorithms:
    • Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) for automated Transformer control
    • Emergency Voltage Regulation (EVR) for automated Capacitor Bank switching
    • Automated Reclosing for CBs control following transient feeder faults
    • Automated Load Shedding routines for load profiling or plant/network protection
    • Static Var Compensator (SVC) outer loop control algorithms
  • RTU to HMI interfacing and database design
  • RTU communications interfacing design
  • HMIs are used for a graphical view of a substation and provide local indication and control of a substation
  • Fast can design and implement standard HMI designs for ease of use and effective communication
  • We specialise in developing network wide standards and templates for rapid development and consistent operation
  • We understand that effective HMI design needs not only great graphical design, but also effective alarm management
  • Fast can design software tools and templates to aid in the development of HMI displays and databases
  • We also specialise in transitioning and upgrading legacy HMI systems to new state of the art technology
  • We have a very broad range of experience with many diverse SCADA systems across a range of plant and equipment. Due to this experience we are able to project manage, plan, design, implement and commission upgrades and replacements on legacy systems
  • Legacy systems upgrades are more common than greenfield installations and require a great depth of knowledge and experience for successful deployments
  • It requires a great deal of technical knowledge (operating processes, SCADA, electrical design, communications and programming methodologies) as well as experience in change management, commissioning processes and effective transfer of knowledge to operating staff
  • Fast can assist in the planning and scoping of upgrades and replacements
  • We can develop necessary software tools and databases for transitioning data from old to new systems
  • Let Fast's experience help you avoid the pitfalls of poorly planned change overs and technical challenges
  • Proven experience in planning and implementing solutions to specification on time and on budget
  • In a given year Fast will work on upwards of 50 different substation projects of varying sizes and types.
  • Our project experience ranges from managing complete greenfield designs of multi voltage substations, to staged brownfield substation refurbishments and right down to minor brownfield upgrade works
  • We'll guide your project from specification, through estimation, the design stages, construction, testing, commissioning and project completion
  • Let our broad experience help your company avoid the pitfalls by designing a best practice system from start to finish
This is where we sit down, grab a cup of coffee and dial in the details. Understanding the task at hand and ironing out the wrinkles is key. Now that we've aligned the details, it's time to get things mapped out and organized. This part is really crucial in keeping the project in line to completion.
