Simulate thousands of scenarios, faster

SERVM’s proprietary algorithms rapidly simulate thousands of scenarios in the time it typically takes other tools to simulate just one, enabling users to quickly evaluate a wide distribution of scenarios.

Simultaneously analyze economic and reliability factors

SERVM offers deep insights into grid performance, capturing the impacts of weather, emergencies and market dynamics to ensure both cost-effective and reliable planning.

Test expansion plans against all considerations

Get a holistic view of resource planning with robust considerations for load growth, changing demand patterns, and synergies among resource classes.

Key features

Resource Adequacy Analysis

  • SERVM is designed to accurately model actual system operations. Users can assess system reliability while considering a wide range of scenarios and risk drivers, including extreme weather, resource performance, and market constraints.

Resource Adequacy Analysis

  • SERVM is designed to accurately model actual system operations. Users can assess system reliability while considering a wide range of scenarios and risk drivers, including extreme weather, resource performance, and market constraints.

Market Simulation and Economic Analysis

  • Users are able to analyze the economic impacts of different scenarios while also considering resource adequacy and system reliability.
  • SERVM’s zonal modeling allows for multiple balancing areas to be simulated, and power can be shared subject to transmission limits and economics.
  • All results from SERVM are rigorously benchmarked against solutions from commercial mathematical solvers, ensuring dependable economic analysis.

Capacity Valuation

  • SERVM can be used to quantify the capacity value of different resources, including energy-limited resources like solar, wind, storage and demand response.
  • Users can assess capacity values while factoring in portfolio size(s), changing resource mixes, and different load shapes.

Renewable Integration

  • While traditionally used as an hourly model, SERVM’s sub-hourly modeling capabilities allow users to analyze the feasibility and costs of integrating renewable resources into the current system.

Integrated with robust considerations

Reliability planning is inherently high-impact, low-probability analysis. SERVM models have been developed to capture a wide distribution of possible events and accurately reflect system operations including:
  • Emergency operating procedures
  • Effects of weather variability on load, renewable, and hydro output
  • Efficient energy storage charging and discharging
  • Ancillary service eligibility across resource classes
  • Conventional outage patterns during extreme weather
  • Dynamic market interactions that reflect transmission and resource availability constraints
