About Hoorpendar

Building equipment for power plants, dams and oil and gas since 1999

Hoorpendar Computer Technology Industries, a knowledge-based company founded in 1999, designs and manufactures specialised electronic equipment and delivers electrical, control, automation and instrumentation projects. We have completed many EPC projects in oil and gas, water and power, and steel, and in most of them we designed and built the hardware ourselves.

Our clients are dams and power plants, oil and gas operators, the national meteorological network and other key industries. Most of what we build has to run continuously in harsh conditions: heat, vibration, humidity, strong magnetic fields and surges from switching and lightning. In power plant control, drinking water supply or an oil and gas pumping station, even a short stop is expensive.

Many of our projects were research programs carried out for the first time in Iran, among them generator excitation for a power plant, a digital hydro-turbine governor, a two-axis laser crydoscope and a meteorological data switching network. Few companies both deliver electrical, instrumentation and automation projects and design industrial electronics for series production. Hoorpendar does both.

Firsts and milestones

Work we did first in Iran

  1. 2001

    Iran’s first domestically built static excitation system

    We designed and built the excitation unit for a hydroelectric generator. Since then we have produced many static excitation systems for generators and synchronous motors, one of them rated at 1,200 A.

  2. 2001–2003

    Intelligent control of drinking water transfer

    We designed a fully redundant control system that automatically regulates water flow from a dam to a metropolitan area, and built its equipment ourselves.

  3. 2005–2006

    Laser crydoscope for dam monitoring

    It records dam-body movement on two axes (X and Y) to within 0.01 mm, without touching the structure.

  4. 2007–2011

    Excitation and AVR for 3.5 MW synchronous motors

    We built static excitation control and starters for synchronous motors at oil and gas pumping and compression stations. In 2017 we delivered 40 more excitation control units for the same motors.

  5. 2012–2013

    Iran’s first digital hydro-turbine governor

    In a research program we designed and built the PLC-based DHTG-300 digital governor, and gained our know-how in turbine speed control, hydraulics and servo valves along the way.

  6. 2013

    800 alarm annunciator signals

    We built and delivered alarm annunciators covering 800 signals for the plants of an oil and gas operator.

  7. Grid test

    A successful black-start test

    Part of a province was fully disconnected, and a hydro plant running Hoorpendar’s SECON-2000 excitation and DHTG-300 governor restored it in island mode, holding frequency and voltage through load steps of up to 2.5 MW.

  8. 2017

    120 pressure-to-current converters in one contract

    We delivered 120 PI-315 units so that older pneumatic instruments could connect to electronic control systems.

  9. 2018 onward

    Gas turbine control units

    For an oil operator we have designed and built more than ten models of gas turbine control unit, which measure speed and temperature and control the fuel valve. The work is still going on.

  10. 2021

    Contactless position sensor at 60 bar

    The sensor measures gas turbine inlet guide vane position and works inside the hydraulic actuator, at 60 bar, on an offshore facility.

  11. 2022

    Locomotive generator excitation

    We designed and built a locomotive generator excitation system, with switching converters and drivers made for it.

  • PDML-4800 laser pendulum reader catalogue

    PDML-4800

    Dam safety monitoring instruments

    How a dam body moves under load is one of the key measures of its stability. The PDML-4800 automatic laser pendulum reader measures the pendulum wire position on the X and Y axes to 0.01 mm, stores it and sends it to a PC for the dam stability software. The group also includes opening measurement for spillway and intake gates (submerged gates too) and automatic logging from about 1,000 dam-body sensors.

    • Contactless laser measurement to 0.01 mm on the X and Y axes
    • Works with direct and inverted pendulums; mounts on the existing base in the dam body
    • MMC memory, internal clock and data kept through power cuts
    • LCD, dust- and water-proof keypad, and a password for settings

Legacy system renewal

We rebuild electronic equipment and cards that no longer have manufacturer support, or redesign them with current technology. The function and connections stay the same.

How we renew a legacy system

  1. 1Examine the original unit and analyse how it works
  2. 2Document it and draw up the schematic
  3. 3Design the circuit with current, available parts
  4. 4Build and fully test it against the original behaviour
  5. 5Install, commission and support it long term

Examples of renewed equipment

  • Synchronous motor excitation control cards
  • Generator excitation voltage control cards
  • Vibration monitoring power supplies and cards
  • Alarm system and fault annunciator cards
  • Temperature monitoring units and process monitoring cards
  • Zener barriers and safety barriers
  • LV switchgear control and motor protection cards
  • UPS cards, recorder power supplies and amplifiers
