System architecture

The gridmo software platform has three key parts:

  • Web application: A web application where you can configure, review, share, schedule and launch simulations.
  • Servers: A collection of cloud services which process and schedule simulations.
  • Engine: A Windows OS executable which locally runs your simulations.

As shown in the image below, the Engine connects locally with your files and power systems software (e.g. PSS®E, PSCAD™ and PowerFactory). The Engine connects remotely with gridmo's servers to receive simulation instructions (e.g. "Run a PSCAD™ test where active power increases by 120% at t=10s"). Therefore, gridmo's servers do not have access to any of your models.
