The Platform vs. Point Solution Problem: Why modern grid challenges demand integrated analysis

U.S. transmission planners are overwhelmed by more than 2,600 GW of interconnection requests. This is exposing the limits of old, single-purpose analysis tools. Modern studies require tightly linked analyses for power flow, protection, harmonics, EMT, and more. Point-solution workflows handle this poorly due to data translation issues, version control problems, and slow iterations. Integrated platforms like ETAP solve these challenges by unifying all analyses in one model and enabling faster, more accurate planning for today’s rapidly changing, inverter-rich grid.

Dynamic Line Rating: Why real-time transmission capacity is the grid's hidden asset

The U.S. grid is approaching a turning point where outdated measurement practices now limit progress more than physical infrastructure itself. While clean energy ambitions accelerate, transmission lines remain constrained by conservative, decades-old assumptions that no longer reflect real operating conditions. This gap between theoretical limits and actual capability has become one of the quietest - yet most consequential - barriers to the energy transition. This blog post explores how more intelligent, real-time approaches to line capacity can unlock the grid we already have and reshape the path forward.

Power Systems: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students

If you're standing at a crossroads deciding on your career, let me tell you: there has never been a more exciting or important time to become a power systems engineer. The global energy landscape is experiencing a transformation not seen since the start of electrification. Today’s grids are more than just wires and substations; they are becoming smart, resilient, and sustainable systems that will support the digital and decarbonized future.

Technology in Turbulent Times: Navigating port complexities in an era of global uncertainty

In today's turbulent global trade landscape, ports are no longer simply maritime gateways. They form strategic nerve centers where technology meets geopolitical complexity. The current global environment is a minefield of uncertainty. Trade wars, shifting tariff landscapes, and unprecedented supply chain disruptions have made ports more vulnerable than ever.
