Scale end‑to‑end transmission planning with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence. With FAST, utilities can process more interconnection requests and make smarter capital investment decisions.
Faster Planning Intelligence
FAST for Transmission is a planning automation platform that works alongside existing trusted solver tools to automate and accelerate transmission planning at scale. It automates data loading, facility validation, case preparation, and stability simulations so your planning team can run more studies, evaluate more scenarios, and make better capital decisions with the resources you already have.
EPE built FAST for utility customers managing the interconnection surge, to help their planning teams process more interconnection requests in less time without compromising engineering rigor.
Facility Assessment
Validate facility models faster with less manual effort.
Build and configure automated data intake pipelines (with expert EPE support) that improve model quality review, reducing bottlenecks, and lowering compliance risk.
Reduce the time your team spends on manual data preparation, minimizes human error with automated parameter checks, and helps meet NERC, FERC, and internal utility requirements before they become study delays or compliance risks.
Cloud Powerflow Engine
Run hundreds of stability* simulations in parallel so planning teams can evaluate more scenarios.
Move more interconnection requests forward, and identify reliable, cost-effective ways to integrate multiple resources faster.
Automate study setup, model validation, and simulation execution, reducing manual bottlenecks and helping engineers spend less time preparing cases and more time evaluating results, mitigation options, and higher-value planning decisions.
Expand grid-planning capacity and keep pace with growing study volumes without scaling headcount at the same rate.
*steady-state analysis coming soon.
Mitigation Portfolio Optimization
Translate study results into actionable mitigation and upgrade strategies.
Compare alternatives by cost and impact, and identify portfolio options that align with reliability needs and business priorities.
Make decisions faster with greater confidence in for more effective capital allocation.
Visual Grid Map and Actionable Analytics
See complex study output in dashboards, reports, and GIS visualizations that make results easier to interpret, communicate, and act upon.
Share aggregated study results and violation reports through dashboards and intuitive graphics.
Collaborate around simulation results, track historical findings, and communicate results to non-technical audiences.
Align faster between engineers and decision-makers, with better visibility into trends across studies, to make more confident planning decisions over time.
Elevate your Planning Process
Seamlessly Integrate with existing trusted solvers: FAST helps you get more out of your existing Siemens PSS®/E, GE PSLF, and DSATools™ licenses by orchestrating and scaling studies across those tools.
Transparent Results: Keep engineers in the loop at every step of the process, so your results are verifiable and stand up to regulatory scrutiny.
Flexible & Extensible: Deploy on-cloud or on-premises. Custom automation via RESTful Python API.
Secure: SOC II compliant with role-based access controls and full audit logging.
