Power Systems Consulting
Licensed engineers. Every study the new grid requires.
Interconnection modeling, model quality testing, compliance studies, protection and event analysis for inverter-based plants and large loads. Every study runs in the Dashboard by the same validated procedure, with initial results within 72 hours once all data is in hand.
The studies
Compliance, interconnection, protection and events, on one record.
Each study below runs the same way every time: the inputs it needs, the steps it follows, the evidence it attaches and the report it produces. Add a plant or a standard and the same procedure extends to it. Click a study to open its module.
Compliance studies
Ride-through capability, current and power priority, active power recovery, modeled and verified against as-left settings, with the exemption built into the same study where hardware limits apply.
Sequence-of-events, fault and dynamic disturbance recording assessed requirement by requirement against the plant's own files, every answer cited to its page.
Qualifying events identified from plant data, analyzed the same way every time, and Corrective Action Plans tracked to closure.
Coordination of voltage regulating controls with protection, and voltage and frequency protection settings against the ride-through envelope.
Real and reactive capability verified at the point of measurement, documented for the Transmission Planner.
Dynamic model parameters verified against the plant, with the parameter verification report generated from the record.
Steady-state, dynamic and short-circuit model data assembled and submitted in the planning coordinator's format.
Regional ride-through, monitoring and voltage regulation requirements, run as their own studies alongside the NERC program.
Governor and plant controller response verified against the Balancing Authority's requirements.
BES Cyber Systems identified and categorized under CIP-002-5.1a, then the low impact cyber security plan under CIP-003-9 Attachment 1: security awareness, physical and electronic access controls, incident response, transient device protections and vendor remote access, with policies approved by your CIP Senior Manager.
Interconnection and modeling
Automated EMT and RMS test suites, with pass or fail against the operator's rulebook and the evidence returned.
Aggregated inverter or turbine model, step-up transformers, equivalent collector system, shunt compensation, main power transformers and the plant controller, built in PSCAD, PSS®E, PSLF and TSAT.
PSCAD, PSS®E and TSAT models benchmarked against each other and against first-principles checks, so every platform tells the same story.
Interconnection request models, study responses and the modification requests that follow a design change, filed in the operator's system on your behalf.
Models updated to the installed settings from relay databases, controller exports and single-line diagrams, with the change log on the record.
Protection and plant
Every relay's settings read from the native file, coordinated with the ride-through requirement and the plant controller, not a sample of three.
Settings reviewed against the standard and the OEM manual, disagreements between documents recorded with the reason for the value chosen.
Scoped from the ride-through study when it is triggered, so related work is found once rather than discovered later.
Events and large load
PMU, SER and DFR records ingested, events identified automatically, ride-through performance and reactive response documented for the operator.
Data centers modeled as plants: load-side model, interconnection studies and the operator's large-load ride-through suite, including ERCOT's connection-counter test.
How a study runs
Inspect. Verify. Simulate. Assess. Report.
The Dashboard does the mechanical work: reading the model, extracting settings, running the cases in isolated machines, finding the values in the traces, drafting the notes. The engineer applies judgment, reviews every verdict and signs.
Proof
The assessment that took six weeks now takes a day.
A large wind plant in Texas: about 930 documents read, every requirement of PRC-028-1 assessed and cited to the page, reviewed independently and delivered in 23 hours. By hand the same assessment averages six to eight weeks.
What is different
Not a report. A record that re-runs.
You watch the work
Every task, every run and every intermediate result is visible to your team in the Dashboard as it happens. Nothing waits for an email.
The same procedure for every plant
Fixed pricing, the same steps, the same evidence model. The result does not depend on which engineer got your file.
The next standard starts from the record
Settings, models and evidence stay on the plant. When the next standard arrives, the study starts from what is already there.
One plant. One PRC-028-1 assessment. Free.
Pick a plant. We build its record and run its PRC-028-1 assessment at no cost, in under a week. Then decide.
