Key Services
We are helping to shape the future of the electrical grid through research and development with a core team of engineers and computer scientists. We collaborate with independent system operators and electric utilities on U.S. Department of Energy research projects that address key issues, such as the expansion of distributed energy resources (DERs), cybersecurity risks, and the need for quality data and predictive analytics to support utility operations.
We provide a range of power system studies, electrical services, and emergency support to ensure that government-owned facilities operate safely and reliably. We conduct power system studies and arc flash assessments that help clients prioritize equipment-related investments. For electrical system upgrades, we manage procurement, installation and testing to ensure smooth facility start-ups. In emergencies, we can quickly mobilize to assess and replace equipment and identify solutions to restore power.
For municipal electric utilities, we provide comprehensive, end-to-end engineering, project management, digital solutions and field services. Our scope of work encompasses substations, transmission and distribution as well as the electrical systems that power generation facilities. We work with municipal clients on digital strategy roadmaps to help effectively prioritize and implement key technology solutions. Additionally, our team of program managers and business intelligence specialists help streamline and optimize capital programs.
Specialized Capabilities
We can help utility and industrial clients achieve or maintain compliance with state and federal regulations as well as new industry standards. In addition to complying with established, legacy regulations our experience includes Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) orders that call for longer-term new transmission planning, new transmission line rating protocols or policy changes to interconnection queues. We also offer solutions to meet North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) requirements, including Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP).
