Covering the entire HVDC system from thyristor stacks, filter bank circuit breakers and converter transformers through to the interface between the differing SCADA and control systems, PBA has a team with practical experience. So when you need hands-on consultancy services for new installs, compliance or emergency fault-finding, you can be reassured that with PBA you have professionals on the job.

An area of specialist expertise is optimising the efficiency and reliability of HVDC transmission control. We can also interface responsive systems across eras and manufacturers, ensuring that old and new technologies run smoothly together.

PBA offers and continues to invest in the most highly factory-trained HVDC team available, with hands-on offshore training. This team delivers a service that is flexible and highly responsive because we are based at both ends of the New Zealand HVDC link. We complement this with a highly mobile service as required.
