Engineering resilient energy networks for future-ready utilities

Power utilities today are navigating a complex landscape marked by massive generation and transmission growth, aging infrastructure, the integration of renewable energy sources, and the need to deliver reliable, cost-effective power. Demographic shifts in the workforce further intensify these challenges, as the retirement of experienced professionals creates a pressing need to attract and develop new talent to address critical skill gaps in the industry. To sustain growth and meet rising energy demands, utilities must modernize rapidly while addressing workforce transitions and adhering to increasingly complex regulatory requirements.

Quest Global, with close to three decades of engineering expertise across power generation, transmission, and distribution, partners with utilities to overcome these challenges. We enable utilities to modernize operations, build resilient infrastructure, and integrate renewable energy sources to achieve operational excellence and sustainable growth. Our engineering-first approach focuses on upskilling teams, implementing advanced technologies, and enhancing system resilience to meet current demands while preparing for the future. Together, we empower utilities to deliver reliable, future-ready power systems that create lasting value.

Focus areas

Services

T&D Software Customization & Development

We deliver tailored enhancements, custom solutions, and smooth OT system integration and migrate to next-gen digital platforms to unlock the full potential and boost the efficiency of installed grid monitoring platforms. Expert teams with in-depth knowledge of leading grid monitoring and control platforms (such as AEMS, ADMS, WAMS, and SAS) help to customize and enhance those platforms to increase operational efficiency. The service enhances application interfaces, integrates third-party systems, and develops custom applications to match operator needs. This results in improved infrastructure control, reduced operational costs, and smooth knowledge transfer to new engineering teams.

Power System Studies

Our power system studies team can expedite renewable energy plant connections through in-depth power system studies and grid code compliance services. The team handles complex modeling, simulation, and compliance documentation for conventional generation equipment and inverter-based resources. This approach facilitates faster returns on renewable energy investments while addressing growing consumer demand and sustainability targets. Our service portfolio encompasses renewable energy model development, interconnection studies, and grid code compliance analyses. We specialize in event recreation, root cause analysis, and solution implementation. Beyond grid integration requirements, we provide comprehensive power system studies across multiple grid segments, including transmission and distribution network system modeling, transmission system analysis, HVDC system stability studies, control and protection system studies, and industrial power system studies.

Enterprise System Integration & Digital Transformation

Transform siloed enterprise systems into an integrated operational ecosystem by connecting all IT and OT systems. The team's deep expertise in industry-specific data modeling standards and industrial protocols enables smooth IT-OT integration to ensure seamless information flow across organizational applications. This integration eliminates data barriers, automates workflows, and creates smarter, more connected infrastructure for utilities. In line with the digital transformation of the grid, we offer a plethora of services leveraging pervasive technologies. Services span from consulting and proof-of-concept projects to implementation of large-scale applications using technologies such as cloud, data engineering, AI/ML, and AR/VR.

Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Services

Advanced digitization of O&M processes through integrated solutions for equipment surveillance, data management, and reliability engineering. AI-powered tools analyze operational data to predict maintenance needs and optimize resource allocation. This systematic approach reduces maintenance costs while providing clear insights for stakeholder reporting. Our services optimize equipment performance and extend infrastructure longevity through effective operations and maintenance solutions. These services include equipment and plant data management, comprehensive surveillance, materials control, life extension studies, and obsolescence management. We further strengthen O&M capabilities through reliability engineering, document and knowledge management systems, and specialized training programs.

Capital Project Management Support As Owner’s Engineer

We provide end-to-end project lifecycle management as the utility's Owner's Engineer, from pre-bid and vendor qualification through the commissioning of critical assets. Our approach ensures cost-effective, timely execution of capital projects while maximizing value and minimizing risks. Our engineers serve as technical project managers, representing utilities in their interactions with OEMs, EPCs, and suppliers. We deliver expert support throughout the entire project lifecycle, encompassing pre-bid preparation, bidding, project execution, completion, and supply chain management. This spans generation plants, equipment, instrumentation and control systems, HVDC, FACTS, substations, balance of plant, and auxiliary systems.
