Our process
From project inputs to decision-ready output.
Voltage, loading, losses, contingencies, and mitigation—an engineering assessment built for utilities, developers, EPCs, and infrastructure teams that need a defensible path forward.
Scope the decision
Confirm the study purpose, system boundary, applicable criteria, scenarios, and required review milestones.
Validate the data
Review the one-line, network case, equipment ratings, operating assumptions, and unresolved data gaps.
Build study cases
Create the agreed base cases, dispatch conditions, contingencies, and sensitivity scenarios.
Analyze performance
Evaluate voltage, loading, losses, convergence, and the system response to credible outages.
Develop solutions
Test practical mitigation and distinguish immediate requirements from longer-term options.
Deliver & support
Issue controlled models and a decision-ready report, then support utility or stakeholder comments.
load flow study FAQ
Questions before the work begins.
01What information is needed to begin a load flow study?
Start with the current one-line diagram, network model, equipment ratings, load and generation assumptions, operating scenarios, and applicable utility or owner criteria. Include the target review milestone and any known data gaps so the study cases can be scoped correctly.
02Which software can the study be completed in?
EGridSync uses PSS®E, PSCAD, ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, EasyPower, SKM, and Cyme, depending on the study or design type required.
03Can you review an existing power-flow model?
Yes. We review topology, equipment ratings, control modes, dispatch, convergence, assumptions, study cases, and methodology. We then provide a prioritized gap register and recommendations before any model updates are made.
04Will you support utility review comments?
Yes. We support technical comment responses, controlled model and report revisions, sensitivity analysis, and follow-up questions from the utility or project stakeholders. The final scope can include a response log and coordination support through review closure.
05What does a load flow study evaluate?
A load flow study evaluates steady-state voltage, equipment loading, reactive-power performance, losses, convergence, and system behavior under defined operating conditions. It can also test credible contingencies and mitigation options.
06Can a load flow study support an interconnection application?
Yes. The study can establish base-case and contingency performance, identify network constraints, and provide technical inputs for an interconnection submission. The cases and criteria are aligned to the applicable utility or market requirements.
07How long does a load flow study take?
The schedule depends on network complexity, data quality, study cases, utility requirements, and review cycles. We confirm the required inputs, milestones, and deliverables during scoping.
08What are the typical load flow study deliverables?
Typical deliverables include a validated study case, documented assumptions and criteria, voltage and loading results, a violation register, mitigation analysis, and a decision-ready technical report. Controlled model updates and review support can be included.
09What is contingency analysis in a load flow study?
Contingency analysis tests defined outages such as line, transformer, or generation loss against the applicable reliability criteria. The results show thermal, voltage, transfer, or convergence constraints that may require mitigation.
010When should we involve a load flow engineer?
Involve an engineer before major design or interconnection milestones so data gaps, study cases, and review criteria are identified early. Early review reduces late model changes and helps the team make defensible network decisions.
