Our End-to-End Services to Get You Connected to the Grid
Our decades of experience with engineering consulting, design and related services allow us to support you during the following processes.
Application
Getting permission from a local utility company or grid operator to connect to the electric grid is a formal process requiring engineering, design and technical documentation.
Our team has extensive experience with this process, and we can liaise with the regulatory authorities, the electrical utility, the Transmission Facility Owner (TFO) and the independent system operator. We can consult with you about the requirements for a successful operation.
Power System Impact Studies
Utility companies often require evidence showing how a large load or new energy source will affect the electrical grid, and they scrutinize the documentation you provide carefully. As part of our utility interconnection consulting services, we provide detailed analyses and studies to help you demonstrate that integrating your infrastructure will not negatively impact other customers or grid safety or stability.
We offer the following:
Stability analysis
Transient analysis
Remediation schemes
Transfer trapping
Power flow analysis
Short circuit analysis
Sensitivity studies
Motor starting studies
Single-event and multiple-event contingency analysis
Operating plans
Maintenance and outage plans
Capital Cost Estimates
We help you mitigate delay risks and unexpected costs with clear estimates that include equipment, materials, labor and upgrades needed to move power from your site to the grid. Our detailed, itemized estimates help you evaluate project feasibility.
Single-Line Drawings
We provide comprehensive, accurate single-line drawings you can use during the application process. With our technical and engineering experience, our team can create single-line drawings that demonstrate your project’s safety and compliance with regulatory standards, putting you in a stronger position to obtain approval from utility companies.
Detailed Substation Design
Once you have signed the interconnection agreement or received electrical utility approval, we can draft actionable blueprints for construction, including grounding mats, physical layouts and more. We ensure you’re ready to break ground with blueprints that meet regulatory and safety requirements.
