Business Wire
To Broadly Incorporate Electrical Modeling and
Analysis across the Lifecycle of Infrastructure Digital Twins
Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Nasdaq: BSY), the infrastructure
engineering software company, today announced it has acquired
EasyPower, a leading developer of design and analysis software
tools, including arc flash solutions, for electrical engineering
professionals. Since its founding in 1984, Portland, Oregon-based
EasyPower has innovatively combined graphics-based modeling and
analysis in order to make solving complex electrical engineering
problems ever more straightforward and accessible. EasyPower
products are primarily used for designing, analyzing, and
monitoring power distribution systems serving industrial and
commercial facilities, to ensure safety, reliability, and
regulatory compliance.

Bentley’s acquisition of EasyPower, to extend integrated and
iterative power systems design and analysis for infrastructure
digital twins of every type, broadens its comprehensiveness in
infrastructure engineering. 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. Priorities for
Bentley Systems will include integrating EasyPower’s schema and
digital workflows with Bentley’s OpenBuildings, OpenFlows,
OpenPlant, OpenRail, and Bentley Raceway and Cable Management
applications.
CEO Greg Bentley said, “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 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.”
EasyPower CEO Kevin Bates said, “We are delighted to be joining
Bentley Systems at this point of inflection 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!”
The acquisition of EasyPower initially adds 45 expert colleagues
in North America.
