Power Decisions that Matter

Plan grid investments waster, with full technical confidence.

Volue Grid Planner Gives DSOs Control and Data Quality Across the Entire Grid Planning Lifecycle.

Volue Grid Planner is an end-to-end grid planning solution for Distribution System Operators built on Esri ArcGIS Utility Network. It connects planning, technical calculations, budgeting, and commissioning in one integrated workflow, creating a single source of truth across the grid lifecycle. 

By supporting a seamless transition from early design to as-built documentation, Grid Planner helps reduce handovers, improve control, and ensure higher data quality - so teams can plan, build, and document grid investments more efficiently. 

COMPANIES THAT TRUST US

KEY FEATURES

One Integrated Planning Workflow

Combine grid design, embedded load‑flow and short‑circuit calculations, and automated bill of material generation in one solution. Reduce reliance on disconnected tools and manual data transfers across teams.

Embedded Grid Calculations

Run standardized low‑ and medium‑voltage load‑flow and short‑circuit calculations directly on existing and planned networks through a browser‑based interface. More users can perform validated analyses while calculations follow approved methods and trusted data sources.

Grid Development Plan Management

Create and manage grid development plans with defined plan areas, roles, and process stages. Identify conflicts and overlaps, document external references, and keep projects coordinated from initial request through commissioning.

CIM Export & Enterprise Data Exchange

Combined with Volue UN CIM Extractor, validated planning data can be automatically transformed into IEC‑compliant CIM models and shared with TSOs, operational systems, and regulatory platforms — maintaining consistency from planning through operation.

Faster Planning & Investment Decisions

Reduce handovers and manual steps across the planning cycle to shorten lead times and accelerate grid reinforcement programs.

Trusted, Traceable Grid Data

Embedded calculations and validation ensure consistent, auditable grid data is maintained at every stage of the project lifecycle.

More Capacity, Without Added Complexity

Browser‑based tools and standardized templates enable broader team collaboration while maintaining data quality and process control.

Built for Enterprise Integration

API‑first architecture and direct ArcGIS Enterprise integration ensure Grid Planner fits seamlessly into your existing technology landscape.

Seamless Compliance & Data Exchange

With Volue UN CIM Extractor, Grid Planner turns validated planning data into IEC‑compliant CIM models, ensuring consistent and compliant data flows from planning to operation.

ArcGIS & Esri Partnership 

Volue is a Gold Partner of Esri and an authorized reseller of ArcGIS in Norway and Denmark. We support utilities using ArcGIS by providing deep domain expertise, implementation services, and integrations that help customers get more value from their GIS investment. Our teams combine strong knowledge of Esri technology with decades of power grid experience, supporting customers across different system landscapes.

USE CASES

Manage the full lifecycle of grid reinforcement projects — from initial request and design, through calculations and budgeting, to commissioning  — in one browser‑based workflow.
This reduces handovers, shortens lead times, and ensures consistent data across planning and execution.

Assess technical feasibility for new connections, electrification initiatives, and load growth by running load‑flow and short‑circuit calculations directly on existing and planned networks.
Planners can evaluate alternatives early and base decisions on validated, up‑to‑date grid data — without switching tools.

Enable planners, engineers, and non‑GIS specialists to work together using intuitive, browser‑based tools without switching between systems

 Export validated grid data as IEC‑compliant CIM models for regulatory reporting, TSO submissions, and operational system integration.
