Power System Design & Electrical Engineering
Power System Design That Performs in the Field
Good power infrastructure starts with good engineering.
Silverstone provides power engineering and design for mining, energy, utilities, infrastructure and industrial projects across Australia. From concept design and load analysis through to detailed engineering, HV and LV design, system studies and commissioning support, our team develops power systems that are practical to build and ready to perform.
Our engineers work closely with the teams responsible for procurement, construction and commissioning. That connection to delivery means we’re thinking about how a system will actually be installed, operated and maintained from the beginning, not just how it looks on paper.
Our capability covers diesel power stations, hybrid power systems, BESS, HV and LV electrical infrastructure, protection systems, earthing design and supporting power system studies.
What Our Power System Design Covers
From early concepts through to construction ready documentation, our engineering team stays involved across the stages that matter.
Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Power System Design That Performs in the Field
Silverstone delivers power engineering and design for projects across Australia. From concept design and system studies through to detailed engineering and commissioning support, our team designs power infrastructure with one thing in mind: how it will actually perform in the field.
Engineering That Stays Connected to Delivery
We don’t engineer power systems in isolation.
Our engineers work alongside project, procurement, construction and commissioning teams throughout delivery. It keeps the design grounded in what can actually be built, how the system will operate and what the people on site will need once it’s running.
01
Understand the Project
Before engineering begins, we look at the site, operating requirements, load demand, constraints and what the project needs to achieve.
02
Engineer Together
Our engineers work with project managers, procurement and construction teams throughout design, bringing practical delivery experience into technical decisions early.
03
Design to Australian Standards
Every design is developed against the relevant Australian Standards, client requirements and project specifications, with reviews built into the engineering process.
04
Design for the Field
Constructability matters. We consider installation, access, operation and maintenance throughout design so the finished system works for the people who will actually use it.
05
Stay Involved
Our engineers remain involved through procurement, construction, testing and commissioning, providing technical support and resolving issues as the project moves forward.
06
Learn From Delivery
What happens in the field feeds back into how we engineer the next project. Lessons from construction, commissioning and operations help us keep improving the way we design.
Designed by People Who Understand Delivery
There is a big difference between designing a system and knowing how that system will come together on site.
Our engineering team works within the same business responsible for building and commissioning power infrastructure. It gives our engineers direct visibility of what happens beyond the drawings and gives our project teams access to the people who developed the design.
The result is a more connected approach from engineering through to commissioning, with fewer gaps between what’s designed and what’s delivered.
Power System Design FAQs
Have a question about our engineering capability? Here are some of the things we’re commonly asked about power system design.
What does a power system design scope include?
Depending on the project, a power system design scope can include concept design, load assessments, detailed electrical engineering, HV and LV distribution, protection coordination, earthing design, equipment selection, technical documentation and commissioning support.
Silverstone can provide individual engineering scopes or support the project through design, construction and commissioning.
What voltage levels does Silverstone design for?
Our engineering team designs both low voltage and high voltage electrical systems, including 415V distribution through to HV infrastructure up to 33kV.
Can Silverstone design hybrid power systems?
Yes. Our Power team designs hybrid systems incorporating conventional generation and BESS, with renewable generation able to be incorporated where required in collaboration with Silverstone Renewables.
Each system is designed around site demand, operating requirements and the way the different generation and storage assets need to work together.
Does Silverstone provide construction and commissioning support?
Yes. Our engineers can remain involved throughout procurement, construction, testing and commissioning, helping resolve technical issues and making sure the installed system remains aligned with the design.
Are Silverstone's power system designs compliant with Australian Standards?
Yes. Designs are developed in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards, as well as client specifications, network requirements and project specific obligations.
