Time to value

Moderate Setup (1-3 hours)

You can use Squid to bring together power system models from different engineering tools into a single version-controlled repository. It imports models from PowerFactory, PSS®E, IPSA, CYME, and ETAP alongside GIS data and spreadsheets. The system validates network topology, checks parameters, tracks branches and merges, and resolves format differences using common standards like CIM and CGMES. Engineers and automated agents can study network constraints, run load flow analyses, and publish decisions with a full audit trail.

What Squid does

Import power system model files and GIS layersDiff two versions of a power system modelResolve asset conflicts and duplicate records across formatsBranch planning scenarios from an approved baselineValidate topology connections and network parametersQuery grid models for connection queue dependenciesReview and approve model changes before publishingResolves multi-source grid models into a unified version-controlled baselineImports and reconciles data from PowerFactory, PSS®E, CYME, ETAP, and IPSAValidates network topology, parameters, and duplicates using CIM and CGMES standardsEnables Git-like branching, merging, and diffing across power system model versionsConnects connection queues, reinforcement plans, and evidence to specific network assetsPrepares study cases and triggers load flow engines for AI and engineer evaluationMaintains source lineage, audit trails, and role-based engineer approval workflows
