Transmission Engineering, Planning, Modeling, and Studies
Transmission planners and engineers are faced with a rapidly changing grid that must be studied in increasing detail to ensure reliable operation. We have experience conducting reliability studies across all simulation time scales – from detailed EMT to powerflow – and can support many areas of transmission planning that continue to change as new technologies and practices evolve.
-
Facility connection requirements and interconnection requirements enhancements necessary for inverter-based resources
-
Model quality requirements development and ongoing model quality checks – powerflow, dynamics, EMT, short-circuit
-
Local case quality assessments and iterative model enhancements with affected asset owners
-
System model validation activities and model quality corrections
-
Generator interconnection studies and reliability studies -powerflow, dynamics, short-circuit, EMT, etc.
-
Future-year scenario development and sensitivity analysis extreme weather studies, scenario-based planning, demand sensitivity analysis, electric vehicle growth studies, large load analysis, etc.
-
System-wide stability analyses, coordinated with neighboring planning assessment areas
-
Dynamic load model creation, development, and maintenance
-
Distributed energy resource (DER) dynamic model development (i.e., DER_A model)
-
Transmission strategy development and roadmapping, process improvements, stakeholder engagement support, etc.
