Forecast capacity additions considering uncertain (stochastic) variables and generate adaptable plans that reduce costs across many possible future outcomes.
Navigating an uncertain future
Meeting global decarbonization policies both efficiently and reliably requires tools equipped to forecast capacity additions. With the current energy marketplace challenges and industry needs, a stochastic approach acknowledges uncertainty and aims to optimize across a range of possible futures. Capacity Expansion can help.
Capacity Expansion benefits
Prioritizing interoperability, Capacity Expansion is engineered to work across the Power Flow, Resource Adequacy, and Production Cost functions within PlanOS*. Explore how our stochastic analysis engine analyzes and plans for an evolving energy landscape.
Prepare for the energy transition. Develop more robust plans acknowledging the uncertainties in the energy transition and navigate across a wide range of possible futures.
Data within reach. Conduct hourly chronological simulations of secure, least cost, grid commitment and dispatch.
Incorporate variable grid conditions. PlanOS respects constraints on transmission, generation (e.g., min-up), and energy and emission limitations.
Transfer analysis. Simplify transmission topology using operating transfer limits and constrain the power flow between major load areas of your system.
Ready-made datasets. Model the Eastern Interconnection, Western Electricity Coordinating Council, ERCOT, and over 50 countries globally.
Enhance your workflow. Automate reports, simulations, and data management.
