Navigating the energy transformation
Many utilities and industrial clients continue to explore alternative energy generation—including solar, geothermal, nuclear, and natural gas. All of the energy sources have a common purpose—to provide safe, reliable, cost-effective power. They also depend on having the right power infrastructure to maximize their use and connect to the electric grid. Our experienced team of consultants, engineers, digital solutions experts and other technical staff can guide, develop and execute these projects.
Engineering solutions with impact
We offer comprehensive engineering services that range from advisory and project development to detailed design and field engineering support. Our range of capabilities includes power system studies that are used to prioritize improvements; battery energy storage system (BESS) project development, site design, construction management, and commissioning; and the evaluation and integration of advanced protection and control strategies that provide early fault detection to minimize disruptions and outages.
Minimizing power outages
Our relay technicians and field support teams help ensure that equipment is well-maintained and faults can be quickly detected and isolated, helping to minimize load loss and the demand for power generation and backup generators. We can also help source and replace outdated equipment as well as install and maintain advanced relays with communication capabilities and other devices that enhance control center monitoring and operations.
Harnessing the power of technology
Our digital solutions experts include former utility system operators and software product developers with a proven track record on a wide range utility systems integration projects. We help clients navigate the adoption of digital tools that utilize sensors, automation and advanced analytics to provide real-time insights into the performance and efficiency of transmission and distribution networks. We also assist with new technologies to provide visibility and management of distributed energy resources which can be used to help offset power generation demand as needed.
Driving progress through disciplined management
For new capital programs or strategic initiatives, many utilities are establishing a project management office (PMO) to streamline project execution. Working alongside clients, we can assist with PMO setup or provide oversight and management on a project-by-project basis. Our structured approach can accelerate project timelines by incorporating standardized processes for planning, estimating, schedule development, execution and closeout.
