PowSyBl Consulting & Integration
Kickstage provides PowSyBl consulting for power system teams that need large-scale grid analysis, repeatable automation, and production-grade integration.
We help TSOs, DSOs, consultancies and vendors implement PowSyBl workflows for grid modeling, contingency analysis and CGMES data exchange—then turn them into reliable software systems your organization can run and maintain.
PowSyBl is built for large-scale power system analysis and provides a flexible open-source foundation for grid modeling, contingency studies and CGMES interoperability. Our strength is combining that domain tooling with software engineering: robust pipelines, services, storage, dashboards and clean handover.
What we help you achieve
- Production-ready CGMES pipelines (import/export, validation, transformations)
- Automated contingency analysis and scenario runs at scale
- Repeatable network modeling workflows for planning and operations
- Operational analytics: results stored in PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB and visualized in Grafana
- Maintainable delivery: tests, documentation, runbooks and enablement for your engineers
Who this is for
- TSOs & DSOs modernizing grid analytics and interoperability workflows
- Energy consultancies running studies across many networks and clients
- OEMs / vendors building grid-facing products and analytics modules
- Research & innovation teams moving prototypes into stable production systems
Deliverables
CGMES data exchange (core focus)
- CGMES import/export pipelines aligned with your toolchain and processes
- Model validation (structure, consistency, boundary checks, quality gates)
- Transformations & mapping between CGMES and internal/legacy formats
- Interoperability workflows supporting ENTSO-E style collaboration requirements
Large-scale analysis & automation
- Contingency analysis automation (batch execution, repeatable configurations)
- Scenario & variant orchestration for planning studies and stress testing
- Reproducible study runs (versioned inputs, deterministic outputs, auditability)
- Performance tuning for higher throughput and stable execution
Integration & productionization (where Kickstage differentiates)
- Turn local scripts into dependable services and jobs (APIs, schedulers, workers)
- Containerized execution (Docker/Kubernetes where needed)
- Observability: logging, monitoring, alerting, traceable pipelines
- Store results in PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB and expose insights via Grafana
- Integration with your broader stack (data lakes, analytics tooling, internal portals)
Example use cases
- CGMES exchange pipeline for operator collaboration
Build a robust CGMES import/export pipeline with validation gates, transformations, and standardized outputs for planning and operations teams. - Batch contingency analysis and reporting
Automate large contingency sets and generate consistent reports for engineering teams, stakeholders and internal governance. - Grid analytics dashboards for planning KPIs
Persist study results to TimescaleDB and visualize KPIs in Grafana dashboards to speed up decision making and benchmarking. - Hybrid workflows with existing simulation toolchains
Combine PowSyBl-based workflows with established tools (e.g., DIgSILENT PowerFactory® for benchmarking/validation or PandaPower for complementary studies).
Tooling and integrations
We integrate PowSyBl into real-world energy environments, including:
- PowSyBl for large-scale analysis and CGMES workflows
- CGMES pipelines (import/export/validation)
- Python & Jupyter for transparent engineering, prototyping and model inspection
- PostgreSQL & TimescaleDB for structured + time-series storage
- Grafana dashboards for visualization and monitoring
- Optional deployment: Docker / Kubernetes
- Field protocols (when needed): IEC 60870-5-104, TASE.2/ICCP, OPC UA, Modbus
- Benchmarking/complementary tools: DIgSILENT PowerFactory®, PandaPower
How we work
- Discovery: goals, constraints, data formats, success criteria
- Audit or prototype: quick validation of CGMES flows or analysis automation
- Implementation: pipelines, automation, integrations, deployment
- Handover: docs, tests, runbooks, onboarding session
- Ongoing support: agreed response times and continuous improvements
FAQ
Yes—workshops covering CGMES workflows, pipeline design, automation patterns and maintainable engineering practices.
Yes. We can adapt to restricted environments and controlled access.
Time & materials, fixed-scope packages (e.g., CGMES pipeline + validation + reporting), or retainer support for ongoing work.
Always—tests, documentation and a clear handover are part of the delivery.
