Optimizing Grid Expansion: How a Custom Hosting Capacity Tool Streamlined Planning & Saved Weeks of Analysis
One of the nation’s largest utilities was spending weeks on manual hosting capacity assessments for transmission grid planning, creating bottlenecks in interconnection requests. Our custom Hosting Capacity Analysis (HCA) tool automated the entire process through power flow analysis and interactive geospatial visualization, reducing study times from weeks to hours; a 10x speed improvement! The cloud-based platform now enables both industrial customers and renewable energy developers to make data-driven facility location decisions, earning recognition from the U.S. Department of Energy's American-Made Digitizing Utilities Prize.
