Problem
Electricity grid planners and operators rely on fragmented tools, static reports, and spreadsheets, leading to inconsistent assumptions, slow decision-making, and difficulty coordinating across teams.
Solution
Squid offers an AI‑powered, browser‑based platform that creates a single, trusted model of the electricity network for all stakeholders. The unified model enables planners to simulate network changes, assess stress scenarios, and evaluate flexibility options in real time. By centralizing data and assumptions, the tool eliminates manual spreadsheet workflows and ensures that every team works from the same information. AI algorithms assist in identifying bottlenecks, optimizing asset deployment, and forecasting impacts of increased electrification. Results are accessible instantly through an interactive web interface, supporting faster, more consistent planning decisions.
Target Audience
Primary users are transmission and distribution system operators, utility planners, and energy market analysts who need to model and optimize large‑scale electricity networks.
