The entire supply area from the substation to the end user is mapped within a unified grid model. The app allows cross-voltage-level simulations that account for interactions between different grid levels. This lets you analyze grid load across all voltage levels and initiate targeted planning measures when necessary.
Grid Load Visualization
Software application Grid Transparency
Geospatial overview of the current situation in the distribution grid and available grid capacity
Typically, grid data is spread across various systems such as GIS, ERP or EDM, and often needs to be manually consolidated and validated for grid simulations. This complicates achieving full transparency over the grid load across all voltage levels. At the same time, integrating decentralized energy producers and consumers demands a more detailed analysis of available grid capacity and a deeper understanding of the current grid state.
The Grid Transparency app provides a solution by offering insights into a complete, centralized, and calculable grid model that spans all voltage levels. All grid parameters, such as asset data, switching states, and supply task information, can be accessed in one central location. Additionally, load flow simulations and short-circuit analyses are automatically performed whenever data is updated. The results provide detailed insights into grid load and support planning measures, such as prioritizing grid reinforcements or deploying measurement infrastructure to validate actual grid utilization with real-time data.
Here’s what you can do with the Grid Transparency app
The app facilitates automated management of the current grid model and provides a solid foundation for all grid calculations
Comprehensive visualization options
Our app provides a detailed, map-based view of the entire grid area, allowing for clear distinctions between different voltage levels, as well as specific sections and branches of the grid. Additionally, you can integrate extra maps and data sources into the visualization. A schematic view allows users to understand the grid structure and topology at a glance.
Automated simulations for the entire grid
The grid load and voltage curves of each asset are automatically assessed for all grids based on your planning principles. This can be achieved using simulations based on coincidence factors or time series data. Short-circuit analyses can also be performed. Altogether, this gives you a comprehensive view of the entire situation in the grid.
Advanced parameterization and comprehensive evaluation of grid assets
Thanks to flexible parameterization of key inputs like coincidence factors and thresholds, you can tailor simulations precisely to your grid conditions. Additionally, you get detailed information on each grid asset, including all technical parameters and extreme values and frequency distributions from the simulations. These insights enable thorough grid load evaluation and help monitor critical areas in the grid.

Three reasons why you will love the Grid Transparency app for grid load visualization
All grid data in one place
The app consolidates all relevant grid data and makes it accessible in one central location. This provides a complete overview of the entire grid, simplifies many workflows, and enables a detailed analysis of both grid structure and grid load.
Advanced analyses
By integrating various data silos, our app enables comprehensive analyses and simulations on a centralized data basis. This includes evaluating hosting capacity and running various grid simulations, supporting precise and informed decision-making.
Better grid planning
Evaluating the current grid load provides crucial insights for grid planning. Bottlenecks can be identified early, even without measurement infrastructure. This helps prioritize grid expansion measures and ensures better use of available resources (financial and personnel).
