Network intelligence for the National Electricity Market
Take the guesswork out of the network.
Full network visibility to find your next project site and get more out of the assets you run today.
The problem
Network shouldn't be this hard.
The grid data behind the NEM can be dense, fragmented and slow to learn. Constraint equations can read like code and outage effects are buried in dispatch files. Building a clear picture takes time and specialist skill, so network analysis is often left to the end of a project, after the big decisions have been made.
The old way
- Cryptic constraint equations, outage schedules and raw AEMO tables
- Numerous spreadsheets and one-off scripts to answer a single question
- Network analysis pushed to the end of development, when it's costly to change course
With GRIDSCOUT
- Constraints, outages and headroom on one visual, interactive map
- Headroom, curtailment and market impacts surfaced in minutes
- Network insight at the start of a project, when it can still shape decisions
Built for how you work
Develop. Operate. Trade. All in one place.
Whether you're siting a project, running a fleet or trading the market, GridScout surfaces the network story behind the outcome.
For developers
Find the optimal connection point
Scout the network before you commit and understand your project's curtailment risk.
- Scan line headroom across the NEM to see where capacity exists
- See which constraints bind near a connection point, and how often
- Compare candidate sites on congestion and curtailment risk
- Shortlist connection points with confidence
For operators
Know why your units were curtailed
Turn curtailment surprises into patterns you can manage.
- Trace curtailment losses (MWh) back to the constraints that caused it
- Quantify the curtailment revenue impact on each of your units
- See how your bids interacted with dispatch on the day
- Track how the constraints affecting your assets change over time
For traders
Get ahead of network impacts on market prices
Network outages and constraints move the market. GridScout shows you where and when.
- Use GridScout's combined NOS and market look ahead to anticipate network outage impacts on prices and curtailment
- Link curtailment and dispatch shifts to market outcomes
- Spot the network setups behind unusual price events
- Build your view before the move, not after it
Trusted by the industry
How our customers use GRIDSCOUT
GridScout is used across development, operations and trading teams to bring network insight into their projects and decisions.
GridScout has enabled us to assess network capacity more quickly and with greater clarity.
The power-flow visualisation provides a fast, intuitive alternative to detailed load-flow studies when undertaking an initial network assessment.
We would strongly recommend GridScout to developers seeking to make strategic decisions based on well-presented, decluttered, network-aware data.
