O&M System Studies Modeling
We keep your models as current as your assets
RLC Engineering provides specialized post-commissioning and ongoing O&M modeling services that close the gap between plant reality and grid models. Our team delivers ready-to-submit, high-fidelity models using industry-standard tools (PSS®E, PSLF, PSCAD) tailored to the needs of O&M providers and asset managers.

Discuss Your Compliance Needs

NERC MOD-025, MOD-026-2 (MOD-026, MOD-027), and MOD-032 requirements demand periodic model verification, testing, and data submittal for both synchronous and inverter-based resources.
As-built plant configurations often diverge from the original interconnection models, creating compliance risk and study inaccuracies.
Inverter-based resources (solar, wind, BESS, hybrids) require high-fidelity PSCAD EMT models and PSSE-PSCAD benchmarking that many O&M teams cannot perform in-house.
ISO/RTO and utility model quality expectations continue to tighten, increasing the cost and schedule risk of non-compliant or poorly tuned models.
The Challenge
Your planet changes.
Your model has to follow.
Operation & Maintenance (O&M) providers and asset managers of utility-scale generation fleets face growing regulatory and technical pressure around power system models. After commercial operation, plants must maintain accurate, validated models for NERC compliance and grid reliability. Most O&M organizations do not maintain deep internal PSS®E, PSLF, or PSCAD expertise.
The Solution
One accountable team.
Every model milestone.
RLC provides ongoing modeling support throughout the operational lifecycle of your assets—from initial model development and validation through updates, compliance changes, and evolving system requirements. Our team helps maintain model accuracy, consistency, and readiness as your system changes.
Post-COD Model Validation & As-Built Updates
Field-data-driven updates to PSS®E / PSLF / PSCAD models that reflect actual plant performance and settings.
NERC MOD-025 / 026 / 027 / 032 Compliance Support
Testing coordination, model parameter derivation, documentation packages, and data submittals.
PSSE–PSCAD Benchmarking for IBRs
Alignment of positive-sequence and EMT models to meet ISO-NE, NYISO, PJM, CAISO, ERCOT, and MISO requirements.
Ongoing Model Maintenance
Retuning after control upgrades, inverter firmware changes, or plant expansions so models remain accurate over the asset life.
Rapid Response for Audit or Study Requests
Support when utilities, ISOs, or NERC auditors request model updates or verification evidence.
The Value
Models that stand up
to real world scrutiny
Deliver consistent, audit-ready model packages across multi-owner and multi-ISO portfolios.
Free internal engineering resources from specialized modeling work that is not core to daily plant operations.
Reduce compliance risk and avoid penalties or study delays caused by outdated or inaccurate models.
Partner with a team experienced in both traditional generation and modern inverter-based resources.
