Our team of industry experts oversees commissioning and startup activities with all renewable-type sites including the execution of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Modeling, data, and analysis Standards (MOD) compliance activities. Our strong relationships with the ISO and RTO entities can assist clients in navigating through their processes and procedures.
The outlook for solar energy in the foreseeable future is driven by photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP), the key technologies driving solar energy development projects. Syncing these energy technologies requires expertise in interconnection, storage, transmission, and data analytics to drive intelligent planning and integration. As one of the leading electrical energy engineering consulting companies in the United States, ENTRUST Solutions Group advises solar energy decision-makers and developers on technical and financial planning for solar energy producers nationwide.
Hydroelectric energy, harnessed from the natural flow of water, stands as a testament to sustainable power generation, offering a clean, renewable source of electricity. Despite being the most mature renewable technology, hydropower faces several challenges nowadays, including aging infrastructures that require significant investments and the changing dynamics of modern power markets affecting operation and maintenance practices. That’s where ENTRUST Solutions Group comes in. We collaborate with power producers in the United States and Canada, providing expert advice on their generating assets—whether they’re small or large conventional hydro or pumped storage hydro facilities. Our expertise spans from health assessments to serving as the owner’s representative, as well as covering detail engineering and outage planning.
Wind generation technology holds enormous capacity for energy generation in the future. Planning and developing these resources require intelligent investment of expertise and financial resources. ENTRUST Solutions Group collaborates with energy developers to assess both capacity and potential profitability based on factors such as location, grid accessibility, interconnection, energy storage, and distribution. Designing a robust and maximally productive offshore wind facility is a matter of assessing numerous determining factors. These include environmental and regulatory measures, supporting access points for construction or deployment, approval, permitting, and interconnection.
The world of energy storage in response to renewable energy continues to evolve through traditional modes of capacity management such as pumped hydro to emerging technologies including thermal, compressed air, hydrogen, flywheels, batteries, and exchange systems accommodating energy return from these storage systems. Assessing the expense and practicality of these technologies, along with incentives such as renewable energy standards (RES) and renewable energy credits (REC) is where the nationwide expertise and regionally dedicated staff of ENTRUST Solutions Group is proving vital to the planning and success of energy storage projects across the United States.
The diversity of renewable energy sources contributing to distributed energy development requires immense expertise to resolve specific challenges in connecting to the grid. ENTRUST Solutions Group brings the power of data analytics to the task of helping energy partners achieve better performance and efficiency. Our clients also turn to us for expertise in local, state, and federal policies and regulations for insight on the practicality and affordability of distributed energy development projects. No matter the energy source, ENTRUST Solutions Group offers resources to help clients meet objectives and goals in distributed energy development. Our nationwide staff of power generation and delivery experts offers remote capability, automation, and regional support through strategically located offices.
