Products and Services

Through the Comprehensive Services Program (CSP), TVA and the distributors of TVA power provide engineering and technical assistance for commercial and industrial customers. CSP covers all areas of energy use, including power analysis, technical services, energy use and predictive maintenance. Here’s a list of services

Power Analysis

• Power Quality
Studies address voltage problems originating inside or outside the facility that adversely affect the end-user.

• Metering
We install temporary metering equipment to gather data on facility electrical usage.

• Power Factor
Metering and recommendations to correct for low power factor.

• Grounding/Lightning
Grounding study, grounding testing, and lightning-protection recommendations.

• Demand-Side Management
Monitoring and testing electrical systems and recommendations related to managing peak demand.

Technical Services

• HVAC
Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning studies examine the sizing of HVAC equipment, offer heating-and-cooling system comparisons, investigate problems with existing systems, and provide recommendations for improvements.

• Lighting
Studies provide recommendations for the design of lighting systems in such places as sports fields, roadways, parking lots, and commercial and industrial plants.

• Wiring and Electrical, Distribution Equipment
Studies analyze the facility’s distribution system, including the sizing of wiring and equipment, and provide recommendations for system improvement.

Energy Use

• Energy Audits
General survey of energy use in a facility and recommendations one energy management opportunities, process, and facility improvements.

• Water Heating
Studies explore heat-pump water-heater applications, standard energy-efficient
water heaters, and cost comparison of electric versus fossil-fuel systems.

Predictive Maintenance

• Infrared Scans
Infrared scans of electrical equipment such as transformers, breakers, bus and conductor connections for hot spots, as well as scans for facility heating- and-cooling loss.

• Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasound technology can locate compressed air leaks caused by vibration, holes in hoses, loose joints and cracks.
