Electrical Engineering Services
PAE's electrical engineering expertise consists of providing power, lighting and control systems for the built environment that are reliable, efficient, and tailored to the project’s criteria and to the client’s future needs.
Our electrical work includes the evaluation, design and specification of:
- Primary distribution systems for campus and community master plans
- In building power distribution
- Lighting and control systems, including:
- Building internal
- Building external
- Site
- Sports fields
-
Metering systems for measurement, verification and control of loads
-
Electrical grounding systems to facilitate power quality and lightning protection
-
Alternate power systems for emergency and standy by uses
-
Renewable power systems - PV, Wind, Fuel Cell, Microturbine
-
Critical and clean power distribution systems
-
Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems
-
Telecommunications systems
-
Fire Alarm and Voice Evacuation systems
-
Security and access control systems
-
Low Energy systems in support of the facility usage – Public Address, Clock, Intercom
We use ESA and SKM software programs to assist in the analysis of power distribution systems, providing evaluations for optimum design and reliability studies for building master plans. Typical studies include:
- Load profile and flow
- System sizing and overcurrent protective device selection
- Voltage drop and power quality evaluation
- Time Current Coordination to maximize selective coordination of overcurrent protective devices
- Emergency power source load starting and operation
