EnerNex was proud to participate in WECC’s Electromagnetic Transient (#EMT) Strategic Workshop, where industry leaders explored the rapidly growing need for EMT modeling and studies across the Western Interconnection.   With increasing inverter-based resources, large loads, and new technologies, EMT analysis is becoming essential for ensuring grid reliability. The workshop’s discussions on model quality, screening approaches, and system-level studies reinforced the same challenges we help our clients solve every day.   EnerNex is ready to support this transition with: ▪️ High-fidelity EMT modeling for renewables, storage, and advanced grid technologies ▪️ Model validation and quality testing aligned with #IEEE 2800-series practices ▪️ EMT screening, benchmarking, and stability studies using leading-edge tools We appreciate the technical insights shared throughout the event and remain committed to helping utilities and grid operators navigate the increasing need for EMT-level analysis.

We’re wrapping up our time today at the CEATI Transmission & Distribution Conference, and it’s been a fantastic experience engaging with utilities, partners, and industry experts throughout the event. A highlight of the day was David Mueller’s presentation, “Mitigating High-Frequency #Harmonic Distortion from Utility-Scale PV Plants: A Field-Validated Approach.” David delivered an excellent session, sharing field-validated insights and practical solutions for addressing high-frequency harmonic distortion in utility-scale #PV plant, an increasingly important topic as inverter-based resources (#IBR) continue to grow. Thank you to everyone who attended the session and stopped by to connect with our team. We look forward to continuing the conversations sparked here at CEATI T&D.

As digitalization accelerates across the energy sector, remote access and cloud services have become critical tools, but they come with serious cybersecurity considerations. In this edition of the United States Energy Association #AmpUp webinar series, EnerNex facilitated an essential discussion featuring Justin Searle, Director of ICS Security at InGuardians, on how utilities can securely navigate this evolving landscape. 🔒 Key topics covered: ▪️ Best practices for secure remote access (e.g., supplier monitoring and maintenance)  ▪️ Risks and challenges of onboarding and offboarding cloud services  ▪️ Managing the software lifecycle for cloud-based solutions  ▪️ How to adapt securely to changes on the supplier side As utilities increasingly rely on cloud technologies and remote operations, understanding these risks and how to manage them, is fundamental for long-term resilience.

We had a great time at this year’s #MIPSYCON, hosted by the University of Minnesota! This event continues to bring together some of the brightest minds in the power systems industry. The sessions and discussions were both engaging and insightful, covering the evolving challenges and innovations shaping the Midwest’s electric utilities. It was a pleasure connecting with fellow professionals and sharing ideas on topics ranging from grid modernization to system reliability.  Take a look at some of our key takeaways from the event:  • Large Loads continue to garner a ton of interest especially around grid r reliability challenges  • Heard some great success stories of utilities implementing grid modernization technology  • As the grid becomes increasingly more complex, the need for more technical system analysis is paramount    (CESI SpA) #EnerNex #PowerSystems #GridModernization 

The electric grid is evolving faster than ever, with distributed energy resources, #EVs, and the electrification of homes reshaping how energy is produced and consumed. But as the grid changes, so must our metering systems. In our latest article, Aaron Snyder explores why now is the time for AMI 2.0, and how it’s redefining what’s possible for utilities and their customers.  Readers will gain insights on:  ⚡ How AMI 2.0 transforms metering from simple data collection to real- time intelligence  ⚡ The customer and operational benefits of grid-edge analytics  ⚡ Strategies for utilities deciding between upgrading existing systems or leaping directly an into AMI 2.0  ⚡ How #EnerNex is helping utilities plan and future-proof their AMI transitions  Read our Utility Dive article “How #AMI 2.0 is Powering the Grid of the Future” here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ewAcDPke     (@CESI Spa)    #DER #AMI2_0 #GridModernization  

What does it really take to assess and manage cybersecurity risks tied to your suppliers, systems, and equipment? In the this session of the United States Energy Association #AmpUp webinar series, facilitated by EnerNex, participants explored the practical side of cyber risk management, from evaluating vendor vulnerabilities to making informed decisions based on country-of-origin risks. 🔎 Key insights from the session included: ▪️ The fundamentals of identifying threats, vulnerabilities, and impacts  ▪️ How to prioritize supply chain risks and implement mitigation strategies  ▪️ Considerations for software, hardware, and critical infrastructure  ▪️ Methods for evaluating the effectiveness of cybersecurity responses With Scott Morgan guiding the conversation, this session offered utilities and #EnergyStakeholders tangible strategies for strengthening cybersecurity resilience.

EnerNex is on site at the 2025 ESIG (Energy Systems Integration Group) Fall Technical Workshop in Philadelphia, joining experts from across the industry to explore how our power system evolves as more wind, solar, and battery resources come online. This week’s conversations are centered on keeping the grid reliable with fewer traditional power plants, the growing role of grid-forming inverter technologies, and how to plan for and integrate large new energy loads. We’re proud to be part of these critical discussions shaping the future of electricity. (CESI SpA) #GridModernization #CleanEnergyTransition #InverterBasedResources #EnerNex

EnerNex is proud to continue supporting the #AmpUp webinar series hosted by United States Energy Association, bringing essential cybersecurity insights to utilities, policymakers, and regulators worldwide. In the second installment of this ten-part series, Frances Cleveland of Xanthus Consulting International and Gian Luigi (Gigi) Pugni of ENEL (retired) explored the international standards and guidelines that underpin effective cybersecurity risk management in the supply chain. 📚 Topics covered:  #NIST Cybersecurity Framework  NIST SP800-161  #ISO/IEC 27036-1:2021  NISTIR 8276  Considerations for various utility contexts (generation, transmission, distribution, #DER aggregators) Facilitated by EnerNex’s own Scott Morgan, this webinar offered a high-level view of how standards can guide utilities in assessing and managing third-party cyber risks, an area of growing importance for critical infrastructure protection.
