Grid Modernization & Protection

Grid Modernization, Protection & Resilience

We partner with utilities and industrial clients to upgrade aging infrastructure, deploy smart automation, and improve system protection. From advanced recloser schemes to wildfire mitigation and storm hardening, we design resilient distribution architectures capable of supporting complex, two-way power flow.

Core Capabilities

• Mission-Critical & Data Center Protection: Specialized Protection & Control (P&C) schemes for data centers and critical facilities—including multi-feeder auto-transfer or redundant schemes, directional overcurrent relaying, differential bus protection, and fast and seamless source transfer.

• Protection & Control (P&C) Engineering: Relay protection schemes, line protection design, single-line/three-line diagrams, and AC/DC control schematics for overhead and underground distribution feeders.

• Protection Coordination & System Studies: Short-circuit analysis, protective device coordination (PDC), arc flash modeling, and distribution relay/recloser protection and automation settings development.

• Distribution Automation (DA): Field automation engineering for Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR/FISR), automated reclosers and switchgears, line sensors, and Voltage-VAR Optimization (VVO).

• Grid Hardening & Wildfire Mitigation: Hardening designs including covered conductor (tree wire), sparkless fusing, rapid fault clearing, high impedance fault detection, and high-fire-risk zone recloser profile configurations.

• DER Protection & Resilience: Bi-directional protection schemes for solar, BESS, and microgrid interconnections—including anti-islanding protection and transfer trip schemes.
