Transmission planning & reliability studies
Elevate provides transmission planning and reliability studies for utilities, transmission providers, developers and large-load customers. Our team performs interconnection, system planning and advanced dynamic studies that support reliable grid expansion, market participation and NERC compliance.
Tariff Studies
Generation, large-load and transmission-service interconnection studies, including cluster, surplus and retirement analyses
System Planning
Long-term transmission expansion and public-policy planning, with NERC TPL, MOD and PRC compliance analysis
Advanced Grid Studies
EMT, real-time simulation and dynamic performance studies for weak grids, high-IBR systems and data-center interconnection
Transmission planning is growing more complex as interconnection queues, large loads and high levels of inverter-based resources reshape system behavior.
Meeting reliability obligations now requires steady-state, stability, short-circuit and electromagnetic transient studies, alongside NERC standards such as TPL-001, TPL-007, MOD-026/027 and PRC-006. For many organizations, planning and compliance are increasingly intertwined.
Elevate helps clients perform generation and large-load interconnection studies, plan long-term transmission expansion, and evaluate complex dynamic phenomena. This includes RTDS real-time simulation, insulation coordination, remedial action scheme assessment and sub-synchronous oscillation analysis.
Our work helps clients make informed expansion decisions and manage reliability risk using industry-standard tools including PSSE, PSLF, TARA, TSAT, ASPEN and PSCAD.
