ENGlobal Corp.’s (ENG) Diverse Engineering & Secure Systems Integration Expertise Just the Ticket for Evolving DOE Guidance & Objectives
The recent announcement by Department of Energy that they intend to issue a new funding opportunity in the neighborhood of $12 million to develop next-gen electric machines (NGEM), which fuse together a combination of integrated power electronics with high RPM motors and power density, is right up ENGlobal’s alley. ENGlobal possesses a tremendous amount of expertise developing and manufacturing complex integrated systems like power islands for remote oil and gas fields, as well as pipelines, rigs and offshore platforms, in addition to a variety of industrial applications. From fuel processing hardware and micro-turbine generator units, to electrical distribution equipment and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems, all with onboard automation capabilities, ENGlobal’s custom built power island know-how, and the company’s experience developing process control systems, lends itself quite readily to the DOE’s new NGEM objectives.
The DOE’s NGEM funding opportunity will be doled out in the form of two to three year cooperative agreements organized to provide the kind of integrated medium voltage motors and wide bandgap-based variable speed drives needed to transform the chemical, oil and gas industries via enhanced energy savings and improved environmental sustainability. The extensive track record ENGlobal has established engineering and constructing diverse hydrocarbon transport and distribution systems for the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors, which includes everything from pipeline and pump stations, to compressor and metering stations, and even high-pressure gas and water injection systems, puts the company in the pole position to aggress such opportunities.
DOE has said that there is a chance here for the U.S. to emerge as a leader in integrated NGEM design and manufacturing, and the agency is keen on funding projects that can established functional proofs of concept, particularly if they are also extremely reliable, which would help to accelerate widespread adoption of such systems. ENGlobal’s established ability to handle a wide range of highly specialized automation and engineering, spanning custom design, fabrication and implementation of distributed control, instrumentation and process analysis systems, further enables the company to help satisfy the recently released DOE guidance on cybersecurity risk management.
Developmental work on ENG’s Universal Master Control Station (UMCS) and Master Control Station (MCS) platforms for standardizing and streamlining secure communications and control between topside and subsea hardware in offshore drilling operations, is a huge advantage for the company when it comes to assuaging concerns over cybersecurity risks. ENGlobal’s development of standardized and secure communication interfaces that function seamlessly yet securely, irrespective of individual components having come from different subsea or topside equipment vendors, speaks directly to the requirement for robust integrated systems that live up to NIST Cybersecurity Framework protocols.
ENGlobal’s successful integration of critical control execution and data monitoring in their patented UMCS technology, which is not based on proprietary communication interfaces or custom hardware, is a prime example of the kind of cost-effective, interoperable, yet highly secure architecture the company is capable of engineering. Because such a pre-engineered and standardized system also eliminates a great deal of the potential for human error and operational costs, its design is a hallmark of the kinds of solutions energy sector clients will need in order to stay on par with evolving DOE specs.
