🚀 Celebrating a Decade of Innovation with SAInt Release 3.5! 🚀 A few days ago, we proudly unveiled SAInt 3.5, marking a significant milestone in our journey. Reflecting on the last ten years, SAInt has evolved from a PhD thesis project to the world's most advanced integrated energy network planning software. Here’s a brief look at our journey: 🔹 2014: The vision for SAInt began during my doctoral research. 🔹 2018: encoord was founded, transforming SAInt from academia to industry with: SAInt 1.0: Introduced Gas Hydraulic Simulation, AC (Optimal) Power Flow, Combined Gas and Power Simulation, and a map for visualizing gas and electricity networks in a single GUI. 🔹 2019: Enhancing User Experience: SAInt 2.0: New GUI with Ribbon Menu and docking of tool windows, gas quality & temperature tracking, and API function calls from Python. 🔹 2020: Extending SAInt's Optimization Capabilities: SAInt 2.1: Power System Production Cost Model (PCM) and introduction of externals as generation, storage, or demands connected to a node. 🔹 2022: Unified Capabilities: SAInt 3.0: Unification of SAInt 2.0 and SAInt 2.1, introduction of the Energy Hub Model to model the physical interlink between gas and electricity networks, and extended import/export facilities using Excel and CSV files. 🔹 2023: Extending to New Domains: SAInt 3.3 & 3.4: Modeling and simulation of district heating networks, new geographic-referenced map with OpenStreetMap integration, 3-Phase Unbalanced AC Power Flow (UACPF), and full integration of Gurobi Optimizer. 🔹 2024: Elevating Integrated Network Planning to New Heights: SAInt 3.5: Google Maps and Bing Maps support, Capacity Expansion Modeling (CEM), optimized performance, advanced storage modeling, and enhanced scenario event visualization. This extraordinary evolution has been driven by a dedicated team and the invaluable feedback from our users and partners. 🌟 To the encoord team: Your innovation, perseverance, and hard work have been pivotal. Thank you for your incredible contributions over the past decade. 🌟 To our users and partners: Your trust and feedback have been invaluable. You inspire us to push boundaries. Looking forward to another decade of pioneering advancements! #energy #energytransition #energyplanning #technology #innovation #encoord #SAInt #thankyou #milestone

⚡Grid stability is more complicated today than ever before. How does the industry feel about this complexity? encoord's Dr. Jacob Kravits and Dr. Wallace Kenyon have set out to answer this question. Check out the flyer for an overview of interviews conducted with 40 industry experts and their shared and unique viewpoints. #EnergyTransition #NSF #SBIR #dynamics

encoord is excited to share a blog post outlining the first steps of a major milestone in energy grid stability! Read it here: https://lnkd.in/djBaEKpf For the first part of 2024 Dr. Jacob Kravits and Dr. Wallace Kenyon have been researching and developing a develop a cutting-edge hybrid phasor/EMT dynamic stability assessment tool. This tool combines high-fidelity electromagnetic transient simulations with traditional methods to address the complex challenges of modern power grids. The tool is planned to launch by 2025. Dr. Kravits and Dr. Kenyon, backed by the NSF SBIR program, gathered insights from 40 industry experts to guide their approach as they build the tool. Curious to learn more?

📢 encoord's William Frazier is presenting this week at a conference hosted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and taking place in Washington, D.C. The conference will bring together experts from various sectors to explore software innovations for topics like climate change and extreme weather forecasting, integrated energy network planning, AI integration for planning efficiency, grid-enhancing technologies, and integration of DERs and storage. Will’s presentation is titled “A Planning Solution that Captures the Physics of Electric and Gas Networks” and will highlight the importance of Integrated Energy Network Planning, which coordinates between electric and gas networks to enhance efficiency, reliability, and economic performance.

What does Integrated Planning mean to you? We’re excited to announce our partnership with ESIG (Energy Systems Integration Group) as we build an Integrated Planning Guidebook. This guidebook helps utilities integrate practical planning processes to deliver clean, affordable, and reliable energy. During the first Integrated System Planning Forum meeting, we ran a poll that captured how people are thinking about integrated planning. The pictured word cloud shows the words that appeared the most. We are also looking for more input! You can help us by: 🗣️Recommending yourself or other interviewees. We’re looking for planners at utilities and system operators who have implemented different forms of integrated planning or who are facing challenges that could be alleviated or resolved with the integration of existing planning processes. 📄 Sharing with us any publicly available integrated planning studies. Please email us recommendations and studies at [email protected]. #EnergyPlanning #EnergyTransition #Innovation

We are thrilled to announce that encoord has been awarded an Early-Stage Capital and Retention Grant by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) and their Advanced Industries Accelerator Program. This grant will help us continue to grow our company in Colorado and further our work with utility customers around Integrated Energy Network Planning. A huge thank you to OEDIT for this recognition and to those who continue to help us achieve our mission to accelerate the energy transition!

Recently, encoord CEO Carlo Brancucci attended the WIRES Spring Member meeting in Chicago, IL. The meeting included a keynote address from the FERC Commissioner and panels on topics such as integration of energy planning and collaboration in transmission planning. Carlo sat on the panel around the integration of energy planning to provide insight around integrated planning in energy infrastructure, and the need to align expertise, criteria, and planning platforms to foster collaboration and informed decision-making.
