Early-Stage & Feasibility Studies
Feasibility Study (FS)
A preliminary assessment to identify potential issues, estimate upgrade costs, and determine a project's viability at a specific point of interconnection (POI).
Pre-Application Assessmen
Consulting with grid operators or conducting initial studies to evaluate potential interconnection points, available capacity, and constraints before a formal application.
Grid Capacity & Hosting Capacity Analysis
Reviewing a utility's grid capacity maps or performing studies to determine the amount of new generation a specific area can accommodate without major upgrades.
Site & Route Selection
Analyzing transmission and distribution networks to identify optimal POIs and generation tie-line (gen-tie) routes based on technical and economic factors.
Economic Dispatch & Market Analysis
Using software like PLEXOS or PROMOD to model future market conditions, forecast Locational Marginal Prices (LMPs), and assess potential curtailment risks for a project.
Formal Interconnection Queue & Application Support
Application Preparation & Submission
Managing the entire interconnection application process, including completing technical forms and compiling required supporting documentation.
ISO/RTO Process Management
Navigating the specific interconnection rules and procedures of Independent System Operators (ISOs) like CAISO, PJM, ERCOT, MISO, NYISO, and SPP.
Interconnection Agreement Negotiation
Reviewing, critiquing, and negotiating draft interconnection agreements, facility studies, and cost estimates provided by utilities or ISOs.
Cluster Study Participation
Managing a project's involvement in a cluster study, where multiple generation requests in a queue are studied together to determine collective system impacts and cost allocations.
Core Technical Studies & Analysis
System Impact Study (SIS)
A detailed engineering evaluation to determine the impact of a new generator on the safety and reliability of the existing grid, identifying required network upgrades.
Power Flow (Load Flow) Analysis
Simulating electrical flows to identify overloaded lines or transformers, voltage violations, and system losses under various operating conditions.

Arc Flash Studies
Analyzing incident energy levels across electrical equipment to determine appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements and boundary distances for personnel safety.
Dynamic Stability Analysis
Assessing the system's ability to remain stable (e.g., rotor angle, voltage, frequency) after large disturbances like the sudden loss of a generator or a fault.
Grid Impact & Power Quality Studies
Analyzing potential power quality issues, including harmonics, voltage fluctuations (flicker), and power curtailment scenarios.
Transient & Insulation Coordination Studies
Analyzing overvoltages caused by lightning strikes or switching events to design proper insulation levels and surge arresters for substation equipment.
Protection & Coordination Studies
Designing protective relay settings and evaluating coordination with existing grid protection schemes to ensure selective fault clearing.
Specialized Studies
Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) Study
A mandatory study for generators connected near series-compensated transmission lines to evaluate the risk of torsional interactions with turbine-generator shafts.
Protection Settings and Coordination
Calculating precise, selective trip settings for protective relays to guarantee rapid fault isolation while maintaining system stability and uptime.
Grounding & Safety Analysis
Includes safety grounding studies, arc-flash hazard analysis for personnel safety, and electromagnetic field (EMF) studies.
Reactive Power & Voltage Control Study
