Summary:
Keeping planning models current is a constant job. Fleet updates, load and weather refreshes, and fuel curve revisions each land in a different place. Copies drift apart, and nobody can easily answer “who changed this, and why?”
CANON is PowerGEM’s common data layer. It’s one governed source for the inputs your simulation tools use, so updating a model no longer means copying and fixing data for every study. In this session, Cam Murphy introduces CANON and walks through how it works, from bringing data in to handing it off to a PowerGEM product.
This session covers:
- What CANON is: one shared dataset of units, loads, weather, transmission, fuel, emissions, storage and more, built to feed SERVM, DAYZER and PROBE, and planned to next feed TARA and CimSPY
- Getting data in: importing datasets and reviewing them before anything is committed, with the source of each row recorded automatically
- Governed editing: changes go to a review queue for approval, and every field keeps its full version history
- Answering the two hard questions: “What’s different between these two datasets?” and “Where did this number come from?”
- Access controls built for a wide team: roles, permissions, and single sign-on
Who should attend:
Planners and modelers who maintain input data for TARA, PROBE, SERVM, or DAYZER, especially teams that use more than one PowerGEM tool or share data across analysts.
