Power system studies are a non-negotiable technical requirement for any generator seeking to connect to and operate in the National Electricity Market.
ElectraGlobe's power system engineering team produces rigorous steady-state and dynamic studies using industry-standard tools, providing the technical evidence AEMO and your DNSP or TNSP need to approve connection, GPS applications and registration.
Steady-state studies analyse how a generator or BESS will affect the network under normal operating conditions. Dynamic studies model how the plant and the surrounding network respond to disturbances. Both are required, and a project that clears one and fails the other is held up just as firmly.
| Study type | What it examines |
|---|---|
| Steady-state | Load flow and power transfer, voltage profiles, fault levels and thermal ratings under normal operating conditions |
| Dynamic | Plant and network response to voltage dips, frequency excursions and network faults, including stability and fault ride-through |
Together, these studies form the technical backbone of AEMO registration and grid connection approval.

We take on the full study scope or step in at a single stage, whether that is a benchmarking exercise, an event investigation, or a study set an NSP has come back on.
Our team builds and benchmarks models in PSS/E and PSCAD, tuning OEM-supplied models until they represent the plant as it will actually be built and operated. That model is what every downstream study, GPS submission and compliance test rests on, so we treat benchmarking as engineering work rather than a file conversion.
We provide complete R1 and R2 registration and testing packages, managing all aspects from power system modelling through commissioning management, hold point test simulations, and GPS compliance testing. Where results diverge from the registered standards, we investigate the cause, validate the fix and take the non-conformance through to close-out.
Study work is where connection risk is either found early or discovered late. A model that has not been benchmarked properly, a fault level assumption that no longer matches the network, or a dynamic case that was never run will surface as a request for further information, a re-test, or a hold on energisation.
If you have studies in progress, under review by AEMO or an NSP, or results you do not trust, we can tell you quickly where the real risks sit.
