Our scope
From pre-commissioning study to post-energization model tuning — for thermal, combined cycle, combustion engine, cogeneration, biogas, wind, solar and storage assets, across any grid code we've operated under.
Flagship capabilities

Three disciplines where independence matters most.

The core services that anchor every engagement — grid code compliance, contract-guarantee verification and the power system studies that anchor every regulator submission. This is the work our reputation is built on.

/ 01 · Grid Code Testing

From generator terminals to the dispatcher's screen. Three levels of testing, every codified test.

Every test the applicable grid code requires, with millisecond-grade measurement under regulator-defined sequences. Lender-ready and submission-ready documentation, authored in the language the regulator reads.

  • Generator terminals — AVR, governor, PSS, load rejection
  • Interconnection point — ride-through, ROCOF, AGC, telemetry
  • Operational — heat rate, reliability run, startup/shutdown
  • Power-island operation — unit and full-plant
  • Cross-jurisdictional reach — MX · BR · CL · IEEE 2800
Read scope

/ 02 · Plant Performance

Capacity, heat rate, reliability and operational economics.

Owner-grade verification of contract guarantees per ASME PTC 22, PTC 46, PTC 6 — usually requested by lenders, operators and OEMs together at acceptance milestones.

  • Capacity testing
  • Heat rate & efficiency
  • Heat consumption curve determination
  • Shut-down & start-up costs
  • SCADA & PQ audit
  • Reliability & availability

/ 03 · Power System Studies

Dynamic models, protection, stability — simulator-ready.

The studies practice. Dynamic model validation tuned against measured field data, protection coordination, short circuit, load flow, arc flash, transient stability and EMT studies. Native fluency across PSS®E, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, EMTP and ETAP.

  • Dynamic model validation
  • Protection coordination & relay settings
  • Short circuit & load flow (IEC 60909)
  • Arc flash & hazard (IEEE 1584)
  • Transient stability & EMT studies

Growth + regulatory
Strategic priorities

Where the market is going — and where the paper trail is decided.

Battery storage is reshaping every grid code we work under — a fast-growing vertical we deliver to the latest IEEE 2800 framework. And no matter how rigorous the engineering, the deliverable that survives regulator review is the filing.

/ 04 · BESS & Storage Compliance New 2026

Round-trip efficiency to grid-stabilizing dispatch — verified.

Compliance testing for utility-scale battery storage. Performance verification, grid code compliance for inverter-based resources, model validation for BESS integrated into utility, IPP and hybrid renewable plants. Equipment-agnostic — Tesla Megapack, Fluence, Wärtsilä GridSolv, Sungrow, BYD, Power Electronics, CATL.

  • Round-trip efficiency & capacity
  • BMS & EMS verification
  • Grid code: IBR LVRT, FFR, reactive support
  • IEEE 2800 / IEEE 1547 conformance
  • BESS dynamic model validation
  • Hybrid plant integration (PV+BESS · Wind+BESS)

Regulator submissions

/ 05 · Compliance Filings

The paper trail regulators read — authored, coordinated, defended.

Country-by-country regulatory documentation. Mexican SAT, ION, FON and telemetry (TICS) reports uploaded via SAPPSE. Brazilian ONS Submódulos. Chilean NTSyCS dossiers. Argentine CAMMESA PT-4 filings. Colombian XM/CREG. Peruvian COES. We coordinate and document the testing; equipment install, commissioning and communication channels stay with the integrator.

  • Mexico: SAT · ION · FON · TICS · SAPPSE
  • Brazil: ONS Submódulos 2.10 & 10 series
  • Chile: CEN / NTSyCS dossiers
  • Argentina: CAMMESA PT-4 connection tests
  • Colombia: XM & CREG filings
  • Peru: COES connection & performance reports

Specialty capability

When the hardware itself becomes the question.

A specialist service that supports the flagship campaigns when needed. Generator forensics — called when tests reveal a hardware question or after a fault event demands diagnostic depth.

/ 06 · Generator Condition Forensic specialty

Diagnostics for the hardware your tests depend on.

Stator and core diagnostics, rotor and bearing evaluation, excitation system tuning. OEM-independent specialists, called when tests reveal a hardware question or after a fault event demands forensic depth.

Read scope
  • Stator & core diagnostics (EL-CID, PD)
  • Rotor & bearing evaluation
  • Excitation system tuning
  • Auxiliary systems
  • Post-fault forensic analysis
