Many grid planning processes, such as evaluating connection requests for new generators or creating long- and short-term grid expansion strategies, often require manual input by the grid planning engineers. As a consequence, these processes are very time consuming and prone to errors. With the applications of IGP Planning, these grid planning processes can be automated and accelerated significantly. This is the basis for a mass integration of distributed energy resources, EV charging points and heat pumps into the grid. In addition to the automated evaluation of new connection requests, the applications for example can be used to create and evaluate tailored scenarios for future supply tasks or to identify cost-efficient expansion measures to resolve grid bottlenecks.
