Newgrid

NewGrid is a software firm in the electric power industry. NewGrid transmission topology optimization software automatically identifies grid reconfigurations to route power around congested transmission facilities. NewGrid software supports power operations, operations planning, and markets decision making, and enables improved grid operations: • Increase grid transfer capacity • Reduce grid congestion costs • Relieve transmission facility overloads • Streamline the development of contingency plans Our team is made of engineers, researchers, software developers and economists with years of experience in power systems and markets analysis and design. With DOE ARPA-E support, NewGrid’s founders led the first team to ever produce security-constrained topology re-configurations on large-scale RTO systems automatically, with short calculation times acceptable to system operators.
