EasyPower’s interface empowers users to digitize their electrical systems and enables the design, analysis, and optimization of complex electrical power distribution systems: Bentley
Leading infrastructure engineering software company, Bentley Systems, Inc. recently announced that it has acquired EasyPower, a leading developer of design and analysis software tools, including arc flash solutions, for electrical engineering professionals. Its acquisition of EasyPower, said Bentley, to extend integrated and iterative power systems design and analysis for infrastructure digital twins of every type, broadens its comprehensiveness in infrastructure engineering. The acquisition initially adds 45 expert colleagues in North America.
Portland, Oregon-based EasyPower combines graphics-based modelling and analysis to solve complex electrical engineering problems. Its products are majorly used for designing, analyzing, and monitoring power distribution systems serving industrial and commercial facilities.
With an increasingly electrified future and with disparate and widely distributed energy resources on both sides of the meter, all infrastructure assets will benefit – in performance, economics, safety and resilience – from continued simulation and assessment of power distribution conditions and designs over their project and operating lifecycles, noted the US-based Bentley’s official statement.
Mentioning its priorities, the company put the task of integrating EasyPower’s schema and digital workflows with Bentley’s OpenBuildings, OpenFlows, OpenPlant, OpenRail, and Bentley Raceway and Cable Management applications on top.
CEO Greg Bentley remarked, “All infrastructure projects and assets have power distribution systems, which are too frequently analyzed using unnecessarily complicated software that is disconnected from 3D/4D BIM and digital twin workflows. By incorporating EasyPower within our design and modelling portfolio, and our iTwin Platform, we can help enable the distribution systems powering infrastructure to be more readily adapted to new imperatives for sustainability and resilience, while making electrical safety assurance more ubiquitous, accessible, and evergreen.”
CEO of EasyPower, Kevin Bates stated, “We are delighted to be joining Bentley Systems at this point of inflexion for electrical power in infrastructure and in infrastructure digital twins. For nearly 40 years, EasyPower has been simplifying complex electrical engineering problems and helping our customers to confidently complete the job at hand. Our purpose has been to make electricity more accessible, more reliable, and safer to use. Within and for Bentley Systems, we can now substantially scale up EasyPower’s reach – across the world, across infrastructure sectors, and across digital twin lifecycles!”
4,500-employees strong Bentley Systems is an infrastructure engineering software company that provides aims to advance the world’s infrastructure – sustaining both the global economy and environment. The 1984-born company’s offerings include MicroStation-based applications for modelling and simulation, ProjectWise for project delivery, AssetWise for asset and network performance, Seequent’s leading geoprofessional software portfolio, and the iTwin Platform for infrastructure digital twins.
