PowrSym Products

• The PowrSym4 Model is a unified generation system, hydro system, renewable resources, electric grid, and natural gas grid simulation that optimally dispatches resources to meet the electric loads, natural gas demands, and heat supply demands on an hourly basis for study periods ranging from weeks to several years.
   

• PowrCast uses the PowrSym4 computing engine at a higher level of data detail for real time system dispatch and near term studies. PowrCast may be integrated in the dispatch center with real time data links or PowrCast can be configured as a "hacker proof" backup system that is isolated from all networks and held in reserve for manual system dispatch in the event of network compromise.
   

• The Maintenance Scheduler uses the PowrSym4 computing engine to optimally schedule generating unit planned outages minimizing costs while protecting system reliability.
   

• COMAX is a combination of the PowrSym4 model and the published EPA data for each of the 64 regions in the USA as defined by EPA. COMAX model runs are offered as a service by OSA on a per-study basis. COMAX enables collaborative studies by diverse parties using a common platform to compare alternatives with objective functions of cost, emissions, and reliability.
