GE Vernova’s power system planning and modeling software solutions

Choosing the right software depends on your unique operational goals and current grid challenges. We begin by conducting a diagnostic assessment of your existing infrastructure and performance objectives. Our experts then map your requirements against our suite of solutions to recommend a configuration that enhances efficiency, security, and scalability for your specific team.

Absolutely. We view implementation as a collaboration, not just a deployment. We provide end-to-end support, from initial integration and systems configuration to staff training and long-term enhancements, to help ensure your team is fully equipped to utilize the software’s capabilities from day one.

With the growth of inverter-based resources and the increase in variable loads on the grid, it’s critical for system planners to consider more comprehensive planning approaches to help identify and solve issues holistically. Integrated Systems Planning is an approach to energy planning that considers all aspects of an energy system aiming to improve the system for cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and reliability by coordinating them together, rather than planning each element separately. This holistic approach provides an improved understanding of resources and their performance while aiming to ensure cost-effective reliability.

PlanOS provides the high-fidelity, proven engine capabilities you already trust, but in a unified environment that eliminates manual friction. Imagine removing the time spent reconfiguring data or transferring models between power flow, production cost, and resource adequacy tools. With PlanOS, you analyze the same dataset across multiple views instantly, without the need for manual data translation. It’s the same reliable analysis, just faster, seamless, and significantly more efficient.

PlanOS is not just a new user interface, nor is it a new software program. PlanOS is a platform where your unified dataset model can seamlessly flow between GE Vernova’s native modular applications. It is the foundational architecture to streamline data portability, versioning, and branching at speed. For customers with more than one of GE Vernova’s planning functionalities (Power Flow, Resource Adequacy, Production Cost, and Capacity Expansion), the standardized and enhanced user interface provides a consistent user experience that is modern and intuitive.

GE Vernova collaborates with our customers, system operators, regulators, policymakers, and developers worldwide to incorporate various regulatory and industry-leading enhancements into the software.

Additionally, we are our own customer. GE Vernova’s Consulting Services uses PlanOS for our global studies and assessments. We have developed and maintained commercially available models of over 55 countries, adapting to different grid codes, connection standards, and industry mechanisms.

PlanOS is enabled with proprietary APIs for file conversion before or after analysis efforts, making it compatible with most industry file formats and planning software.
