Simplify FERC Compliance with Interactive Heatmaps

Our FERC-compliant heatmaps take the complexity out of interconnection planning by: 

  • Visualizing interconnection capacity and constraints with clear, professional maps. 
  • Enabling quick simulation of MW injections to understand their impact on grid congestion and available capacity. 
  • Providing actionable insights into queue overlays and grid conditions over time. 

Whether you're navigating the cluster study process or optimizing existing infrastructure, our heatmaps provide the insights needed to achieve FERC compliance and foster stakeholder trust. 

Simplify Point of Interconnection (POI) Analysis with Interactive Tools 

Our POI Analysis Module combines advanced functionality with intuitive workflows, empowering utilities to: 

  • Seamlessly import transfer analysis study and POI data from leading electrical engineering software, including PowerGEM, PSS/E, and PowerWorld. 
  • Generate detailed heatmaps tailored for internal use in just minutes, ensuring actionable insights at your fingertips. 
  • Overlay additional geographic and operational layers to provide a comprehensive view of system dynamics. 
  • Manage injection points effortlessly and simulate before-and-after scenarios to identify constraints and impacts at the transmission line level. 

Deliver professional, crystal-clear heatmaps that communicate capacity and reveal system limitations, driving better decisions and operational efficiency.
