Battery Storage DevelopmentSite screening and project identificationUtility / interconnection coordinationConceptual engineering and layoutsOwner’s engineering / technical diligenceCost, schedule, and feasibility supportLearn More
HIVE supports battery energy storage projects by combining utility engineering expertise with practical project development support. We assist clients with project screening, technical evaluation, utility coordination, conceptual engineering, and early-stage planning.
Our support may include site identification, conceptual layouts, technical diligence, owner’s engineering, and evaluation of project feasibility, cost, utility application que and tracking. Where needed, we also support the transition from development into detailed engineering and implementation planning.
Core Services
End-to-end engineering expertise across electric utility infrastructure.
Substation EngineeringDesign and engineering for transmission and distribution substations.
HIVE provides engineering support for greenfield and brownfield substations across transmission and distribution systems. Our work includes conceptual engineering, design development, detailed engineering, equipment integration, and implementation support.
For greenfield substations, we help define project scope, major equipment requirements, preliminary layouts, site considerations, and constructability approach. For brownfield projects, we support upgrades, expansions, and equipment replacement programs, including relay modernization, breaker replacement, transformer replacement, bus modifications, and other station improvements.
Protection & ControlProtection system design, control schemes, and integration.
HIVE provides protection and control engineering for transmission and distribution substations, integrating protection philosophy, control functionality, equipment interfaces, and construction documentation into complete engineering packages.
Our work includes development of one-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, panel arrangements, control logic, interlocking schemes, cable schedules, and related design calculations. We support both new installations and modernization of existing protection systems.
Relay Settings & Protection StudiesRelay settings, coordination studies, and system protection analysis.
HIVE provides relay settings engineering and protection studies for transmission and distribution systems. Our experience includes line protection, transformer protection, bus protection, capacitor bank and reactor protection, overcurrent coordination, and related system protection applications.
We support development, review, and implementation of relay settings as well as the system studies that inform those settings, using industry-standard tools and utility-aligned protection philosophies.
SCADA, Automation & CommunicationsSCADA system design, automation, communications, and integration.
HIVE provides SCADA, automation, and substation communications engineering to support monitoring, control, integration, and data exchange across utility infrastructure.
Our work includes RTU and automation system design, point mapping, database development, control and alarm implementation, HMI support, and integration of intelligent electronic devices. We support industry-standard protocols and architectures, including DNP3, Modbus, and IEC 61850.
Physical Electrical DesignDetailed electrical design, drawings, and specifications.
HIVE provides physical electrical design for substation and utility infrastructure projects, helping convert project concepts and system requirements into coordinated physical engineering packages.
Our work includes general arrangements, equipment layouts, bus arrangements, conduit and cable routing, grounding design coordination, station service support, electrical clearances, and construction details.
Civil & Structural EngineeringCivil and structural design for substations and utility infrastructure.
HIVE provides in-house civil and structural engineering support for utility infrastructure projects, allowing closer coordination across engineering disciplines and more integrated project execution.
Our services include support for foundations, structural elements, equipment support structures, trench and duct bank coordination, and other civil and structural components associated with substation and utility projects.
Power System StudiesPower system analysis to support protection, design, and planning decisions.
HIVE performs power system studies to support protection, design, and planning decisions across utility infrastructure projects. Our study capabilities help clients evaluate system conditions, confirm engineering assumptions, and support reliable and practical design solutions.
Depending on project needs, HIVE supports short-circuit studies, coordination studies, load flow studies, grounding-related evaluations, and other technical analyses using appropriate industry tools.
Owner’s Engineering & Project DevelopmentOwner’s engineering, project development, and technical diligence support.
HIVE provides owner’s engineering and project development support for clients who require technical oversight, independent review, or early-stage engineering guidance.
We help clients evaluate project concepts, review third-party engineering, coordinate technical requirements, and support project advancement with practical engineering input. This service is particularly valuable for projects requiring conceptual planning, technical diligence, feasibility support, or coordination among multiple stakeholders.
