What are Power
System Studies?

Power system studies offer peace of mind. The assessment of electrical networks by power systems engineers can help to obtain grid connection agreements, identify existing or potential problems and optimise performance. They are a requirement for most new connections to the electrical grid and are used to show the site can meet the performance criteria required by the connecting authority. An efficient electrical network and quick grid connection saves you money!

Our Process

When planning or reviewing an electrical power system, accurate studies are essential. They confirm that your network will operate safely, efficiently and reliably. After collecting key data such as design drawings, manufacturers’ details and connection point characteristics, our engineers model and analyse your system.

We test how it performs under different conditions, measure it against relevant standards, and provide a clear, professionally indemnified report. This highlights key findings, potential risks, and practical recommendations so you can take action with confidence.

Power System Modelling

Power system modelling is the starting point for effective studies. It allows engineers to build accurate simulations of your network, including generators, transformers, transmission lines and distribution equipment. These models provide insights into performance, highlight weaknesses, and support improvements before problems arise.

By using advanced software, we can optimise system design, increase resilience, and ensure your electrical network operates efficiently and safely.

Requirements

Following data collection such as electrical design drawings, manufacturers’ data sheets and connection point characteristics, our engineers will model and analyse your network to assess your site against defined standards and recommendations relating to performance, safety and efficiency. We then provide a professionally indemnified engineering report that outlines key findings and recommendations to address any highlighted issues.
