Automated Mitigation Analysis

Optimize investment strategy with violation mitigation recommendations

Detect thermal and voltage violations and automatically evaluate wire and non-wire alternatives.

Compare options with net present value, cost-benefit, and deferral analysis.

Pareto Analysis of Mitigation Options

DERMS Operational Planning

Simulate day-ahead operations from the same system

Validate control strategies, and forecast violations.

Catch violations before they happen.

Bridge the gap between long-term planning and daily operations.

Elevate your Planning Process

Seamlessly Integrate, Don't Replace: ENER-i works alongside CYME, Synergi, WindMil and others instead of replacing them.

Transparent Results: Keep engineers in the loop at every step of the process, so your results are verifiable and stand up to regulatory scrutiny.

Proven Technology: Built on the industry-standard OpenDSS simulation engine with native ESRI integration for GIS mapping.

Flexible & Extensible: Deploy on-cloud or on-premises. Custom automation via RESTful Python API.
