INS is pleased to announce the commencement of a crucial initiative this week in collaboration with NYISO, New York Power Authority, and NYSERDA. Together, we are embarking on the development of a sophisticated EMT automation tool tailored for the state. This tool aims to enhance the capabilities of operators and developers by enabling thorough assessments of the reliability and stability when integrating renewable energy projects. Specifically, it will conduct simulations in the microsecond-time domain, ensuring precise evaluation of real-time conditions and optimizing the integration process. #PSCAD, #PSSE, #Interconnection, #System_Studies, #System_Model

Please come and join us next Thursday at CleanTX!

📣 Upcoming Interconnection Application Window in NYISO 📣 The NYISO Interconnection Application window opens on August 1st and will remain open for 45 days. Stringent requirements on the system applications especially on the system models make deficiencies challenging to address within a short 10-day timeframe. Under the new cluster study process, mistakes will be costly. At INS, we have extensive experience in New York and understand the importance of accurate modeling and the meticulous attention required to ensure a smooth application process. We specialize in transforming the complex NYISO Interconnection Application process from a headache to hands-off. We aim to allow you to focus on your core tasks while we handle the intricate details. Our expertise guarantees that your project will be accurately depicted in its model, ensuring a seamless and successful application. Here's how INS Engineering can support you in fulfilling the application requirements and reducing the risks of deficiencies and non-compliance: ✅ Comprehensive Application Form Management: We manage the entire application forms with required attachments (e.g., Att. HH), ensuring all required information is detailed and accurate. ✅ Thorough Data Collection and Analysis: We gather all necessary data to support your application, from site-specific details to electrical specifications, and analyze it to ensure compliance and accuracy. ✅ Calculated Layout and SLDs: Our team creates precise Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) and calculated layouts, tailored to your project's unique requirements. ✅ Precise Model Development: We support both the PSSE power flow and dynamic models, as well as ASPEN Short Circuit models. With our rigorous quality control, we guarantee that your project will be accurately depicted in its model, ensuring your project's success. ✅ Handling of NYISO Feedback and Revisions: We manage any feedback or revisions from NYISO, ensuring timely and effective responses to keep your project on track.

🔌💡 Solving the Challenges of Reactive Power Studies Are you facing challenges with inconsistencies in reactive power studies? Partner with INS Engineering for unparalleled expertise and tailored solutions to ensure accurate and consistent results regarding your project's reactive power capability in meeting system operators’ requirements. Standards mandate precise reactive power provisions, necessitating a thorough understanding of generating unit dynamics and transmission grid specifications. Our studies delve into intricate details such as the dynamic VAR capabilities of inverters, transformer configurations, and voltage regulation mechanisms. Most of the existing load-flow-based approaches will be overlooked as they cannot assess the reactive power capability of components subject to terminal dynamical conditions (e.g., inverters' terminal voltages). Our in-house automation tools and proprietary AI provide a unique approach that presents detailed VAR capability of the project subject to grid operating conditions. This enables us to assess reactive power capabilities most accurately across various scenarios, ensuring robust performance under different operating conditions. Our analyses will precisely reveal whether your project will meet the system operator’s reactive power requirements through a combination of IBR capabilities and existing compensation devices. By evaluating multiple dispatch levels and voltage ranges, we provided actionable insights to enhance grid stability. INS Engineering's commitment to excellence ensures reliable solutions for complex electrical engineering challenges. Our Reactive Power Studies exemplify our dedication to quality, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to drive innovation in the energy sector. #ElectricalEngineering #EngineeringExcellence #Reactive #ReactivePower #PowerSystems #SystemStudies #Modeling #PSCAD #PSSE #PSLF #ACP #CLEANPOWER #IEEETandD
