- Assessment of system performance for N-1, N-1-1, and extreme events
- Corrective action plan (CAP) development and support
- Dynamic stability studies, voltage performance, and load-serving capability
Protection and Control (PRC)
GridTech supports the design, testing, and validation of protection systems to ensure correct fault detection, isolation, and equipment protection:
- Protection system coordination and fault analysis
- PRC-019/PRC-024 and PRC-029 studies (voltage & frequency ride-through validation)
- Protection system misoperation analysis
- Relay settings review and event investigation
Modeling, Data, and Analysis (MOD)
We help facilities maintain accurate and complete models for use in planning and operational studies:
- MOD-032: Data submission, model validation (PSS®E, PSLF, PSCAD)
- MOD-025-026-027: Generator model verification (AVR, PSS, governor, wind, solar and BESS)
- Development of power flow, short-circuit, and dynamic models
- Coordination with ISOs/RTOs for model acceptance and submission
Resource and Demand Balancing (BAL)
We support operational readiness and compliance with standards that ensure sufficient balancing resources:
- Frequency response analysis and tuning (BAL-003)
- Governor performance testing and reporting
- Real-time monitoring of ACE (Area Control Error)
- Support for primary and secondary frequency control programs
Facilities Design, Connections, and Maintenance (FAC)
We assist in ensuring facility interconnections, upgrades, and maintenance practices meet performance and reliability requirements:
- FAC-001/002 interconnection requirements and compliance
- Transmission facility ratings, thermal analysis, and clearance evaluation
- Support for connection requests and transmission design criteria
- Inspection and audit support for maintenance records
Voltage and Reactive Power (VAR)
Our experts perform studies and compliance analysis to ensure stable voltage and reactive power support across the grid:
- VAR-001/002 reactive power control and capability curve analysis
- Evaluation of power factor performance and reactive margin
- Capacitor/reactor siting and tuning
- Compliance support for reactive reserve requirements
IEEE 2800 Compliance Services
Supporting Reliable Interconnection of Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs)
At GridTech Solutions, we provide specialized engineering services aligned with the IEEE 2800 standard, the industry benchmark for interconnection and interoperability of inverter-based resources (IBRs) — including solar, wind, and battery energy storage systems — to the bulk power system.
What Is IEEE 2800?
IEEE 2800, developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), defines technical requirements for the performance, control, and behavior of IBRs when connected to transmission systems. It addresses key aspects such as:
- Voltage and frequency ride-through
- Reactive power and voltage control
- Active power control and frequency response
- Fault current contribution and recovery
- Coordination with protection systems
This standard ensures renewable resources integrate reliably and predictably, enhancing grid stability and resilience as the energy mix evolves.
