Power Infrastructure & Energy Systems

Critical Power Infrastructure Consulting

Power is the lifeblood of modern facilities. NOVTRIQ designs comprehensive critical power architectures covering substations, switchgear, UPS, transformers, PDUs, and busbar systems. We conduct load flow analysis, discrimination studies, and specify equipment for environmental resilience.

Electrical Design to BS 7671 & IEC 60364

Our electrical engineering team designs LV and HV installations compliant with UK Building Regulations, BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 and HD 60364 / IEC 60364. We conduct Short Circuit Level studies, arc flash analysis, and cable sizing to balance cost, efficiency, and thermal limits.

800V DC Architecture

Direct current power distribution at 800V offers dramatic efficiency improvements for data centres and industrial processes. We design 800V DC systems that reduce resistive losses by 90% compared to traditional 480V AC distribution and simplify BESS integration.

Advanced Thermal Management

NOVTRIQ designs cooling architectures achieving PUE below 1.1. We specialise in Direct-to-Chip Cooling (DtC), Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHx), and Immersion Cooling (Single-Phase & Two-Phase). All designs meet ASHRAE thermal guidelines and incorporate waste heat recovery.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

We design BESS systems with rigorous thermal management, fire detection, suppression design, and isolation engineering. Our consultants are skilled in lithium-ion, solid-state, LDES, and flow batteries for behind-the-meter and grid-scale installations.

EV Infrastructure Planning

NOVTRIQ designs EV charging infrastructure for industrial sites, hospitals, commercial buildings, and public access locations. We conduct load modelling, assess electrical capacity, and design charging network topology.

Discrimination Studies & Arc Flash Analysis

We conduct detailed discrimination studies using SKM CYMECAD and ETAP, analysing fault currents across the entire electrical network. Arc flash studies quantify energy released, defining hazard categories and required PPE.

Industrial Condition Monitoring

We design condition monitoring systems for production equipment, compressors, turbines, and rotating machinery. Machine learning models identify early fault signatures, alerting maintenance teams weeks before catastrophic failure.

Small Modular Reactors (SMR)

For organisations exploring nuclear power, NOVTRIQ provides end-to-end SMR advisory: feasibility and site assessment, regulatory navigation through ONR and Euratom pathways, power integration and grid connection, and financial modelling.
