Transmission Network operators face tighter regulatory mandates, real security pressure, and capacity limits running up against rising transfer demands, often with limited operating or capital budgets. Successfully managing these critical networks takes a clear, comprehensive view of a complex system, robust analytical tools that help identify and mitigate potential issues, and situational awareness that help support operational decision making with quick action is needed. The major blackouts and grid collapses of the last couple of decades make the cost of lacking effective analytic tools prohibitive for the network operators.

renovo™ approaches transmission and energy management in real time, with network analysis applications backed by efficient and robust algorithms ( including best in class non-iterative solution techniques as well as traditional algorithms), online maintenance, a simple simulation and contingency outage set up environment  and an interface built for operators and not planning engineers. While much of the industry adopted a version of offline planning tools built for engineers, for control room use, renovo’s network analysis applications are built for a real-time control room environment with offering a parallel study environment for operations planning and offline engineering. An AI assistant as an aid to the operator,   interprets the results and helps prioritize system violations in terms of criticality.

The principals behind design and development of these applications have been building transmission applications since the early 1990s; They have seen what works and what doesn’t work across 100 transmission networks all over the world. renovo is the culmination of all that theoretical and practical experience factored on a modern functional foundation. 

 novoSIM™ gives operators a realistic training space that models system behavior on a copy of the real-time grid and in a  control room environment, so they can work through simulation of blackouts, equipment losses, restoration, and routine operations without any risk to the live system.
