Power system analysis and energy market modelling
Arup has performed power system analysis and modelling in a variety of power systems worldwide.

We carry out new connection studies, including generation injection analysis, to determine the optimal sizing and siting of new generation or demand capacity to minimise network upgrades at transmission and distribution level.
Arup conducts transmission and distribution system impact studies, including transient stability analysis, dynamic model development, and power factor and reactive compensation studies – depending on project requirements – using complex power system simulation and optimisation tools such as DigSILENT, PSS®E, PowerGEM TARA, PSCAD and ASPEN Oneliner.
Thanks to its detailed understanding of the energy sector, Arup is able to use the results of the technical analysis to derive insights, assess potential future impacts on the system, and identify opportunities for improvement.
