The Problem
Planning Workloads Have Exploded
Planning Workloads Have Exploded
Most planning teams are facing 5–10x more scenario work — with fewer resources, tighter timelines, and increasingly complex questions to answer.
Yet too much of the study process still depends on manual stitching of files, macros, and Python scripts. The result:
Most planning teams are facing 5–10x more scenario work — with fewer resources, tighter timelines, and increasingly complex questions to answer.
Yet too much of the study process still depends on manual stitching of files, macros, and Python scripts. The result:
Engineers lose hours every week on repetitive prep
Studies take too long to rerun after changes
Backlogs grow while reliability pressures rise

Wraps around your existing tools (such as PSS/E , TARA, etc.) and processes
Auto-validates raw data
Spins up work such as base case development and batch runs in minutes
Generates user-friendly dashboards to see results and receive reports on items such as needs, solutions, etc.

Nira automates all of it — so your team can focus on planning, not processing. Transmission planners are spending too much time on:
Model stitching and building
Large volume base case setup
Re-running cases after minor changes
Evaluating needs and formatting reports
Running similar studies across various scenarios
Information validation and team coordination

Real Scenarios, Real Impact
Explore how Nira has helped developers and interconnection teams save time, reduce risk, and optimize grid connections. Each case study highlights the impact of using our tools in real-world projects and collaborating with Nira's interconnection experts.
Case 1 : Streamlining Interconnection Study Process
Problem
Setting up base cases, running studies, identifying upgrades, and allocating costs is time-consuming and error-prone.
Solution
Nira automates these critical steps across MISO, SPP, PJM, and NYISO- saving time, reducing manual effort, and delivering ISO-aligned results.

Case 2 : Long-Term Planning Scenarios
Problem
ISOs must evaluate a growing number of load and generation scenarios (new data center load to renewable additions and retirements) but running these studies against planning standards is resource- and time-intensive.
Solution
Nira’s software automates multi-scenario studies, enabling ISOs to test more possibilities with accuracy and speed.
