At DistribuTECH 2019, Opus One Solutions, a leader in grid software engineering, announced the launch of its web based GridOS Integrated Distribution Planning (IDP) product with Hawaiian Electric. IDP is a hosted, scalable, automated grid planning solution that allows utilities to design the grid of the future. The solution targets the entire ecosystem around distribution planning from utilities to consulting firms, system integrators and product partners, ensuring cost effective and reliable service to customers through advanced software applications.

The distribution planning function has taken on new importance for electric utilities as they address the challenges of managing aging infrastructure, while simultaneously pursuing grid modernization and the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs). Utilities need planning solutions today to prepare for this wave of new grid assets and respond to regulatory pressures to integrate clean, renewable, distributed resources.

"New technologies and customer expectations are changing our energy mix which makes integrated resource planning even more mission critical and regulatorily robust for utilities," shared Joshua Wong, CEO of Opus One Solutions. "With our web based GridOS Integrated Distribution Planning solution, utilities can evaluate grid quality and investment options from operational planning to long term planning, to ensure electricity delivery is reliable, resilient and cost-effective."
