GridAstra is re-inventing Grid Software to accelerate and sustain the transition to a Clean Energy Grid in a reliable, resilient, and efficient manner. The company is pioneering the first-ever ‘Integrated Digital Grid Enhancing Technologies’ (ID-GETs) software solution to accelerate the interconnection of new Generation resources (such as Renewables) and also reduce the curtailment of existing Renewables in the Grid. GridAstra’s ‘Generation Interconnection Planner’ is a Planning software in the ID-GETs portfolio that provides automated decision support for optimally using Advanced Power Flow Controllers and Topology Reconfiguration for mitigating Grid Congestion (in compliance with FERC Order-2023), thereby minimizing the costly and time-consuming Network Upgrades for Interconnection. The portfolio also includes Operations software like the ‘Grid Capacity Manager’ that provides realtime and predictive Ambient-adjusted and Dynamic Ratings of assets in the Grid (in compliance with FERC Order-881 and beyond) to maximize the utilization of the existing Grid without any additional hardware installation.
