The Challenge

Power system engineers spend hours—sometimes days—debugging complex PSCAD simulation models. Legacy workflows lack intelligent assistance: understanding component-level changes requires deep manual review, and collaboration across teams is inefficient. Engineers needed a tool built for their domain, not a generic AI bolt-on.

  • ✕Debugging complex PSCAD models takes hours even for experienced engineers
  • ✕Understanding legacy or inherited circuit models is time-consuming and error-prone
  • ✕Identifying component-level parameter changes requires tedious manual comparison
  • ✕Collaboration between simulation and design teams is fragmented and slow
  • ✕Traditional PSCAD tooling was never designed for AI-assisted workflows

Client Testimonial

“
★★★★★

We used to spend half a day just figuring out why a fault was occurring in a complex model. With the AI Copilot, we pinpoint the issue in minutes. It understands our PSCAD circuits the way a senior engineer would — that level of domain awareness is something we hadn't seen in any other tool.
