Remedial Action Schemes (RAS)

Full cycle RAS services, including design, configuration, and testing

Overview

What we deliver.

For over 15 years, Coastal Grid has engineered Remedial Action Schemes for the western US grid. We are one of a select few firms officially approved to provide RAS services to SCE, a designation held by only a small number of contractors and one of the most difficult credentials to earn in this discipline. Through that relationship we have engineered numerous RAS and Centralized RAS (CRAS) projects across the utility’s footprint. We also engineer RAS on the customer side of the meter, working with renewable developers, IPPs, and EPCs to tie new generation and storage facilities into the bulk system. Across both sides, we deliver the full lifecycle including planning, design, configuration, and commissioning. Our team has worked on some of the largest RAS systems in the western United States and has participated in the WECC RASRS, including delivering presentations.
