Bentley Systems has announced that it has acquired EasyPower, a leading developer of power systems engineering software, to broaden its comprehensiveness in infrastructure engineering<\/h2>\n

Since its founding in 1984, EasyPower has combined graphics-based modelling and analysis to make solving complex electrical engineering problems more straightforward and accessible.<\/p>\n

EasyPower’s power systems engineering software is mainly used for designing, analyzing, and monitoring power distribution systems serving industrial and commercial facilities to ensure safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n

Broadening Bentley Systems’ comprehensiveness in infrastructure engineering<\/h3>\n

Bentley Systems has acquired EasyPower to extend integrated and iterative power systems for infrastructure digital twins of every type. Its acquisition of EasyPower will broaden its comprehensiveness in infrastructure engineering<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All Bentley infrastructure assets will benefit across performance, economics, safety and resilience from continued simulation and the assessment of power distribution conditions and designs over their project and operating lifecycles.<\/p>\n

Priorities for Bentley Systems will include integrating EasyPower\u2019s schema and digital workflows with Bentley\u2019s OpenBuildings, OpenFlows, OpenPlant, OpenRail, and Bentley Raceway and Cable Management applications.<\/p>\n

Making electrical safety assurance more ubiquitous and accessible<\/h3>\n

CEO Greg Bentley said: \u201cAll 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“By incorporating EasyPower within our design and modeling 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Making electricity more accessible, reliable, and safer to use<\/h3>\n

EasyPower CEO Kevin Bates added: \u201cWe are delighted to be joining Bentley Systems at this point of inflection for electrical power in infrastructure, and in infrastructure digital twins<\/a>. For nearly 40 years, EasyPower has been simplifying complex electrical engineering problems and helping our customers to confidently complete the job at hand.<\/p>\n

“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\u2019s reach \u2013 across the world, across infrastructure sectors, and across digital twin lifecycles!\u201d<\/p>\n

The acquisition of EasyPower initially adds 45 expert colleagues in North America.<\/p>\n
