Our capabilities
Six study types, one network model.
Each study builds on the same validated model of your network, so results stay consistent from the first load flow to the final compliance pack.
Load Flow & Dynamic Studies
Steady-state, voltage profile and dynamic performance.
- Normal and contingency load flow (N-1, N-2)
- Short-circuit studies and fault levels
- Voltage profile and reactive power (MVAR) assessment
Transient Stability Studies
Fault response, generator stability and CCT evaluation.
- Critical clearing time (CCT) evaluation
- Generator and inverter-based resource response to faults
- Post-disturbance recovery and mitigation options
Power Quality Assessment
Harmonics, flicker and compliance analysis.
- Harmonic distortion and resonance studies
- Flicker and voltage fluctuation assessment
- Filter and mitigation recommendations
Grid Interconnection Studies
Hosting capacity and grid code compliance.
- Hosting capacity and DER interconnection analysis
- Grid-integration studies for solar, wind and BESS
- Connection study packs for utility or transmission-operator submission
Transmission Planning
Network expansion and congestion assessment.
- Network expansion and congestion studies
- MW / MWh / MVAR assessments across CTU and STU corridors
- Demand–supply gap analysis and contingency load flow to 2030
Resource Planning & Energy Yield
Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) and plant-level yield.
- Least-cost capacity expansion over 10–25 years in GridPath
- Resource adequacy, reserves, RPO / RE targets and emission constraints
- PVsyst energy-yield simulation with P50 / P90 and 8760-hour profiles
