Install & Commission

Whether you’re planning a new installation or upgrading and refurbishing an existing one, correct installation and commissioning are key to the reliable operation of any system. At Hitachi Energy, we can help you manage installation yourself or can provide a team to handle it for you. Services include:

Planning and preparation: We’ll help you assess your current grid infrastructure and identify ways automation can enhance your grid reliability and operations. Then we’ll create a detailed plan with equipment recommendations, specifications, placement suggestions, and more.

Site preparation and installation: We’ll help you prepare sites, including mounting structures, before installation to ensure efficient deployment.

Installation: We don’t consider installation complete until we’ve also connected your new assets to communication networks or other necessary interfaces and all components to make sure they’re secured.

Configuration and testing: Hitachi Energy can also configure the equipment to your specifications and operational needs. Then we’ll conduct thorough testing of the installed equipment.

Commissioning: Along with formally commissioning equipment for operation, Hitachi Energy will document the process and test results as well as obtain any needed regulatory approvals or other certifications necessary for operations.

Handover: Hitachi Energy ensures that your staff understands how to operate the system safely, conduct routine maintenance, and troubleshoot common issues.
