Electrical Engineering Study

The power infrastructure, from generation resources to the electric grid to on-premise wiring and electrical equipment, is a complex system that requires extensive analysis to operate efficiently and effectively. Power System Engineering, Inc. (PSE) responds to this need by offering a variety of electrical engineering studies in the areas of resource facilities (including wind farms), transmission and distribution facilities, and commercial and industrial facilities. Our engineers and technicians have significant experience in the study of electric power facilities for utility systems and commercial and industrial facilities throughout the United States.

PSE’s studies are used to support budgets, rates, regulatory filings, and testimony, as well as to support the operations, planning, maintenance, and protection of systems. Our engineers and technicians utilize a significant library of power system software modeling tools including PSS®E, CYME®, Milsoft®, ETAP®, SKM®, and PSE-customized applications along with other analytical and mapping tools such as SAS®, ThermCap®, ESRI®, and AutoCAD®.

PSE applies proven approaches that are technically sound and develops new concepts that require out-of-the-box thinking which we tailor to meet our clients’ individual needs. We routinely work with all stakeholders including field staff, engineers, non-technical senior management, board of directors, regulators, litigators, and the public. All of this combined with our proficient skills in technical writing results in readable reports that are easy to follow and apply.
