Power System Studies

Project-specific power system studies assess compliance with grid requirements, identifying potential issues early and adapting to evolving grid codes to reduce risk, protect investment decisions, and keep performance on track.

Project-specific modelling, not generic assumptions
Issues identified early, before major investment
Ongoing analysis as grid codes and demands evolve

Know it works, before you start a project

With a dynamic model in place, you can evaluate performance, maintain compliance, and optimise system behaviour throughout its lifecycle.

Optimal system design
Accurate modelling aids in the design and planning of new power systems, ensuring they are efficient and meet future demands.
Improved grid resilience
Modelling simulates faults and load changes to assess stability margins — strengthening grid stability and resilience.
Enhanced grid reliability
Simulations surface weaknesses across the grid — improving reliability and preventing supply disruptions.
Increased efficiency
Power system modelling identifies where energy losses occur across the grid — cutting waste and driving meaningful cost savings.

Your team, backed by ours

Valo's power systems team supports every stage, from early planning to ongoing management.

Accurate, project-specific data
Our studies are conducted using precise, project-specific data to ensure highly reliable results. We strive to minimise assumptions and avoid using default, non-project-specific data.
Expert team, versatile tools
Our highly skilled and dedicated team has hands-on experience and knowledge of various grid codes, as well as IEEE and IEC standards. They can effectively choose from different software tools to ensure the best fit for your project needs.
All-round lifecycle services
We provide consulting services for various stages of a new build project and throughout the system's lifetime, ensuring continuous support and optimisation.

Project-specific modelling

Built on the right platform

Every service runs on project-specific models, using PSCAD, PSS/E, or DigSILENT — whichever fits your project best.

Let's power the future together

We help energy operators connect traditional and renewable power sources, and meet evolving grid demands with confidence.

Modelling, project-specific

A project-specific, user-defined dynamic model, required to support every study below. Delivered as a report covering the input data, tests performed, and the system's dynamic behaviour.

Planning and sizing

Determining the appropriate size of equipment —such as batteries, transformers, and cables—is a critical part of system design. The scope of this work can vary depending on the project's size and complexity, and it may be carried out using either a generic project model or a user-defined model tailored to specific requirements.

Integration and impact

Analysing the impact of the energy storage system on the grid and vice versa, prior to commissioning. The scope of work can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project and must be conducted using the project-specific model.

Field-validated results

Verifying the test results obtained from the field against the simulation results. The study must be conducted using the project-specific user-defined model.
