Engineering, Grants and Project Delivery

HECSY starts with how the facility actually operates, not with a predetermined piece of equipment. We evaluate the electrical infrastructure, utility data, load behavior, operating requirements, controls and project goals, then develop a facility specific roadmap that guides engineering, equipment selection and implementation. The objective is one coordinated energy system designed around measurable operating and financial value. 

No. Equipment selection comes after the facility requirements and project objectives are understood. HECSY evaluates the existing electrical system, loads, operating constraints, available capacity and project economics first. Solar, battery storage, generators, switchgear, metering and controls are then sized and integrated only where they support the facility’s actual requirements

Yes. HECSY’s engineering services include system layouts, one line diagrams, load analysis, power flow studies, short circuit and arc flash analysis, grid interconnection design, equipment selection and permitting support. Licensed engineering services are incorporated when required by the project scope and jurisdiction. 

Yes. HECSY can work alongside a facility’s existing engineering, electrical, mechanical, construction or EPC teams. Our role can be focused on energy engineering, controls and technology integration, or expanded to broader project coordination and delivery. The goal is to keep the engineering, equipment and operating strategy aligned across every participant. 

Yes. HECSY evaluates applicable federal, state, utility and other funding programs and develops the technical information needed to support qualified applications, including feasibility information, project costs and implementation planning. HECSY has helped clients secure more than $3.2 million in federal and state funding. Funding eligibility and approval are determined by the applicable agency or program. 

Yes, based on the agreed project scope and applicable licensing requirements. HECSY can coordinate design, equipment, contractors, utility requirements, controls integration, startup and commissioning. Our objective is not simply to deliver installed equipment. The completed system must be tested, integrated and operating as intended. 

Yes. HECSY designs controls and system architecture around the facility’s existing infrastructure whenever practical. New battery storage, solar, generators, switchgear, meters and other distributed energy resources can be coordinated with existing equipment through the HECSYsmart® energy management and controls platform. 

Yes. HECSY engineering services include grid interconnection design and planning, permitting support and coordination with utilities and authorities having jurisdiction. Requirements vary by utility, project configuration and jurisdiction, so the specific responsibilities are defined as part of each project scope. 

HECSY can remain involved after startup through monitoring, controls support, system optimization and ongoing operating visibility. The HECSYsmart® platform can continue measuring facility performance, monitoring connected assets, generating alerts and supporting control strategies so the project remains connected to the operating goals established during design. 

GridBid™ compares forecasted demand with actual HECSYsmart® metered performance. As operating schedules, weather, production patterns and equipment behavior change, the forecast can be refined using the facility’s real results to improve future predictions.
