Power systems engineering

Engineering for Distribution Interconnection & System Planning

Utility-grade analysis for the organizations connecting new generation and new load to the distribution grid, and for the utilities that serve them.

Services

Core Specializations

Most engagements fall into one of six areas. Each is scoped to the specific question that needs answering, not a fixed study package.

01

02

Hosting Capacity & Screening

Where the system has room, and what it takes where it doesn't.

  • Hosting Capacity Map Analysis
  • Feeder & Substation Screening
  • Point-of-Interconnection Evaluation
  • Feeder-to-Transmission Connectivity Mapping
03

Power Flow & System Impact Studies

Model-based answers to how a project affects the feeder.
