Integrated Electrical Design for Power Systems

The design of electrical infrastructure is one of our areas of expertise, developed exclusively to support the energy and technology systems we design and build. Electrical engineering is integrated from the very beginning of a project, ensuring multidisciplinary coordination between mechanical and electrical design and supervisory control systems.

Our work encompasses the complete development of electrical infrastructure for cogeneration, trigeneration, and photovoltaic plants, as well as electrochemical energy storage systems (BESS), utility rooms, and industrial processes, including the design of medium- and low-voltage networks that comply with CEI and IEC standards and the requirements of grid operators.

We develop engineering solutions focused on power distribution, operational continuity, selective protection, and power grid quality, designing MV/LV substations, power and control panels, distribution systems, power factor correction, power quality systems, and energy supervision and monitoring systems.

Each infrastructure is sized according to the system’s characteristics and the customer’s operational needs, ensuring full integration between power generation systems, electrical loads, industrial automation, and control platforms, with a particular focus on reliability, safety, maintainability, and service continuity.

Activities include primary and secondary power distribution, the installation of power lines, the supply of power to main and auxiliary loads, and integration with cogeneration, trigeneration, photovoltaic, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), in compliance with current CEI standards.
Acting as a single point of contact allows us to coordinate all building systems disciplines, minimize interference between different work processes, and provide our clients with an electrical infrastructure that is seamlessly integrated with the entire building systems infrastructure.
The structures are custom-designed and manufactured at IRCI Officine, allowing for the integration of electrical equipment during the prefabrication phase and subsequent transport to the site as complete units.
These enclosures are used in cogeneration, trigeneration, photovoltaic, and BESS systems, as well as in industrial utility rooms. Specifically, in utility-scale photovoltaic plants, user substations are built to house inverters, MV/LV transformers, electrical panels, auxiliary systems, and monitoring and protection equipment, thereby reducing on-site installation and connection work.
This approach ensures full integration with the technological systems while maintaining a single point of technical coordination for the entire project.
From field signal acquisition to the management of automatic start-up and shutdown sequences, from safety interlocks to the control of parallel systems, every algorithm is developed and validated by our technicians to ensure full integration among the various systems, electrical infrastructure, heating and cooling plants, UPS units, and auxiliary systems.

The supervision system also enables data logging, real-time monitoring of energy performance, alarm management, and remote control of the entire plant.
Designed to ensure the stability and reliability of the electrical infrastructure through power flow analysis, automatic and dynamic power factor correction, reactive power compensation, continuous monitoring of electrical parameters, harmonic analysis (THD), load balancing between phases, verification of protection selectivity, and coordination of distribution equipment, ensuring high standards of power quality and service continuity.

For infrastructures with high availability requirements—such as data centers, continuous industrial facilities, and mission-critical processes—we design highly reliable power architectures by integrating static UPS systems, rotary UPS (DRUPS), generator sets, cogeneration systems, MV/LV transformer substations, and grid synchronization systems.

Each solution is developed through protection coordination studies, short-circuit level analyses, grid transient simulations, and verification of operating conditions under normal, degraded, and emergency configurations, defining redundancy criteria (N+1, 2N, or custom configurations) based on the level of availability required by the customer.

The design objective is to ensure absolute continuity of power supply, voltage and frequency stability, resilience of the energy infrastructure, and full integration among generation, distribution, storage, continuity, and monitoring systems.
