Suite of models available
This section illustrates the list of models available.
CERES: Least cost expansion planning
As power systems undergo rapid transformation toward decarbonization, planning tools must evolve to deliver timely, accurate, and technically robust insights. CERES (Chronological Energy Resource Expansion Simulator) is a computational framework for grid expansion planning. By employing full chronological modeling, proprietary numerical acceleration techniques, and cloud-based execution, CERES supports high-fidelity simulation and optimization of future energy systems involving variable renewables, storage, transmission, hydrogen, and natural gas infrastructure.

FIDES: Reliability analysis
Reliability analysis in modern power systems requires the ability to simulate large numbers of possible system states to account for uncertainty in component outages, repair processes, network behavior and different generation and demand situations. Traditional methods often suffer from long computation times and lack the flexibility to capture realistic probability distributions of the most relevant events.
FIDES (Fast Integrated Distributional Evaluation Simulator) addresses these challenges through a high-performance Monte Carlo simulation engine enhanced with advanced variance reduction techniques, and a proprietary acceleration framework. FIDES enables planners and reliability engineers to evaluate system adequacy, risk metrics, and operational resilience under a wide range of conditions at extremely high speed.

KAIROS: Optimal power system operation
KAIROS is a high-fidelity unit commitment and economic dispatch model designed to capture the technical and economic behavior of modern power systems. It integrates granular operational constraints of generating units, multiple formulations of AC power flow, and cloud-based computational architecture to support reliability assessments and system operation studies. The tool is suited for analyzing systems with a mix of thermal, renewable, and storage technologies, under both market and reliability-driven contexts.
