GridVantage is a cutting-edge software platform designed to help electric grid operators anticipate, mitigate against, and recover from the effects of extreme weather events.

By combining state-of-the-art agent-based grid modeling tools with grid resilience metrics, GridVantage can quantify the state of the grid assets before extreme events, and provide grid operators with actionable insights, such as staging maintenance crew locations, proactive pole hardening or grid topology reconfiguration, to help minimize equipment damage and revenue loss due to power outages.

With GridVantage, electrical utility operators can reduce operating costs by optimizing grid hardening costs and lowering liability costs and shareholder exposure. These grid operator benefits will ultimately lead to lower electricity rates for customers.
