Bentley Systems Announces Acquisition of EasyPower®, Leader in Power Systems Engineering Software
24.2.2023 00:24:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
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.

Codethink Opens Early Access to IEC 61508 Mapping for the Eclipse Trustable Software Framework11.3.2026 09:07:00 EET | Press release
EMBEDDED WORLD--Codethink today opened early access to its mapping between the Eclipse Trustable Software Framework (TSF) and IEC 61508, the international standard governing the functional safety of electrical and electronic systems. The mapping establishes a transparent relationship between the engineering principles of the Trustable Software Framework and the objectives defined in IEC 61508. By making this work available as an early preview, Codethink is inviting organisations interested in applying open source approaches to functional safety to review and begin working with the mapping while the work continues to mature. IEC 61508 forms the foundation of many domain-specific safety standards, including ISO 26262 for automotive systems. The early access reflects Codethink’s long-standing commitment to open development of software engineering methods. “This preview release reflects our belief that trust in software must be engineered in the open," said Paul Sherwood, Codethink’s Chair
