Supporting the global energy transition involves wide-ranging energy modelling and analysis.
The modelling and analysis tools include:
- Long-term capacity expansion
- In-house System Planning Test (SPLAT) model for long-term energy planning
- Unit commitment and dispatch
- Energy storage and Smart Grids
- System flexibility assessment
- Operational planning
- Grid integration studies
