RedSky supports power system planning and operations with a focus on reliability, practical implementation, and alignment between planning decisions and real-time system performance.
Our experience spans long-term planning, near-term operations, and real-time considerations, ensuring that studies, procedures, and system changes are both technically sound and operationally executable.
Core capabilities include:
Transmission Planning (All Time Horizons)
Development and assessment of system plans from long-term expansion through near-term operational planning.
Planning–Operations Integration
Bridging planning studies with real-time operations to ensure system changes are practical, reliable, and aligned with control room realities.
Reliability Standards Alignment
Development of planning criteria and operational procedures consistent with NERC and regional reliability requirements.
Contingency Analysis & System Performance
Evaluation of system performance under contingency conditions, including load flow, stability, and operational limits.
Operational Readiness & Procedures
Development and refinement of operating procedures, incorporating lessons learned from events and system performance.
Interconnection & System Capability Assessment
Evaluation of system capability to accommodate new generation and load, including coordination of technical reviews and stakeholder alignment.
Outage Coordination & System Risk Management
Support for outage planning and system risk assessment to maintain reliability during planned and forced outages.
Resource Adequacy & System Sufficiency
Assessment of capacity needs and system capability, including impacts of variable and inverter-based resources.
