Transmission Planning, Power System Studies, and the Software to Scale Them

We help utilities and energy teams run complex studies and turn their workflows into reliable, scalable systems.

From providing modeling services to platforms like Minerva, everything we do is built to support engineers and simplify how studies get done.

Power system studies are getting harder.

More scenarios. More constraints. More pressure to move faster without risking reliability.

At the same time, the tools and processes behind these studies haven’t kept up.

We work alongside utilities and energy organizations to run studies, improve workflows, and automate the work behind them, helping teams move faster with confidence.

We Build Tools That Solve Real Problems, Not Add Overhead.

Simple Thread is the bridge between traditional Power Systems and modern Software Engineering. We replace "reactive" with "scalable."

Do the Work

Our power systems engineers augment your team for complex modeling.

Trust the Work

Our user experience experts ensure the data is actionable, transparent, and meaningful.

Scale the Work

Our software engineers build the automation that clears your backlog.

We’re Engineers, Developers, Product Thinkers, AND Grid Geeks.

Most software companies don't understand the grid.
Most grid consultants don't understand software.

We are the rare team that speaks both languages fluently. We understand the frustration of broken models and opaque data. That’s why we built a team of experts dedicated to one mission: helping utilities modernize their study workflows.

A practical approach to scaling studies

Work alongside your team

We start by understanding your studies and workflows in detail

Improve and automate

We identify bottlenecks and build tools for faster, more consistent workflows

Scale and
evolve

As your system and needs grow, your tools and processes grow with you

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR TEAM

• Run more studies in less time • Improve consistency across analyses • Reduce risk from manual processes • Keep pace with increasing system complexity •

Facility Ratings Modernization

Problem: Facility ratings were scattered, manual, and error-prone.

Solution: A digital ratings system that increases accuracy, granularity, and compliance.

Hosting Capacity Analysis

Problem: Rapid load growth made transmission capacity harder to evaluate quickly and reliably.

Solution: A hosting capacity tool that speeds analysis and drives smarter grid expansion.

Outage Planning & Reliability

Problem: Critical maintenance data was hard to access, slowing outage planning and operations.

Solution: A platform (ANODE) that centralizes data and accelerates reliability decisions.

Minerva

Faster, smarter planning 
with clear grid intelligence.

Minerva gives planners and developers transparent, visual, and actionable insights into hosting capacity and interconnection timing. This means utilities and their partners get fast, intuitive ways to analyze their systems – with no coding or from-scratch modeling required.
