Ampirical has mentored and trained several engineering groups in AutoCAD Electrical and SDS toolkit applications over the last five years. Throughout that time, we’ve learned a lot of the “dos” and “don’ts” of integration and implementation that are worth sharing in this episode. Multiple considerations must be analyzed, such as relationships, team building, initial software training, discovery phase, planning phase, application phase, pilot selection, library creation, design standards selection, and project integration examination.

In this episode of the Power-Tech Podcast, GridIntel and Cybirical Engineer, Jack Mertens, discusses the Transmission & Distribution Toolbox, a solution to automating the engineering design, verification, and validation process.

This is the fourth and final episode in a series highlighting our previously recorded webinar entitled: Protection & Control Automation: 2021 and Beyond.” In this final installment, our panelists answer a few audience questions from the roundtable webinar and offer further insight.

In this third session, our panelists discuss the impact of IEC 61850 on the digitalization of the electric power grid and its protection, automation, and control.

In this session, our panelists discuss where they believe the industry is related to the acceptance of cloud computing as a technology platform for protection & control.

This episode begins a series highlighting our previously recorded webinar entitled: “Protection & Control Automation: 2021 and Beyond.” In this first session, our panelists discuss challenges the electric utility industry faces over the next decade as it relates to protection & control automation.

The power industry will no doubt demand an increase of software engineers in its workforce as the power grid continues its transformation into the Smart Grid. For those willing to join the constant endeavor to keep the power flowing, many rewarding and challenging computing problems await.

This episode provides an independent view of the engineering process from a professional service provider who is not an engineer.

In this episode, we discuss new ideas centered around what might be the essence of grid infrastructure and maximizing the ability of the grid to transfer power.

In this episode, we discuss how the use of electric IFC packages, along with cloud servers and tablets, can make a big difference when it comes to increasing efficiency when engineering and providing information to build transmission and distribution lines.
