DPLAN

DPlan is an integrated geographic-based analysis and optimization software application for large-scale power grids. DPlan has been used for decades by highly reputable utilities to support:

− Grid reinforcement and expansion in the order of billion Euro annual investments
− Flexibility services contracting including capacity procurement and pricing
− Energy market validation for security assessment in day-ahead operations planning
− Congestion management and system restoration for real-time supervisory control

Digital Twin

DPlan combines most powerful graphics technologies with state-of-the-art analysis and optimization algorithms to provide a fully proven digital-twin of power grids at their various voltage levels and time scales.

- Utilities rely on DPlan's advanced features to:

− Analyze sub-second transient phenomena, ranging from the selectivity of protections against asymmetric short-circuits in unbalanced three-phase LV networks to the stability of electromechanical oscillations in interconnected EHV transmission systems;

− Simulate day-ahead power delivery and identify congestions across all voltage levels with 15 min resolution to validate market solutions and redispatch distributed generator and local flexibility providers;

− Quantify renewables hosting capacity, considering load stochasticity and contingency probabilities together with the best possible correction actions for each contingency;

− Procure and price flexibility services in a probabilistic manner, identifying the risk of congestion and the locations for the service providers that best mitigate such risks.
