Total Grid Orchestration means bringing information, forecasts, and options together so people can coordinate decisions across the grid. It does not replace operators, planners, or existing systems. It helps them work from the same picture with a common framework for:
When TGO is in place, you can
- See the grid as one system. A shared view of conditions across generation, transmission, distribution, and behind-the-meter resources.
- Understand risk earlier. Analytics highlight where the plan is drifting toward reliability, cost, or operational risk.
- Know your options. Operators and planners can see which levers are available, and the tradeoffs of using them.
- Act with confidence. Decisions are informed by quantified risk instead of fragmented signals or assumptions.
How do we accomplish that?
We envision Total Grid Orchestration (TGO) as a System of Systems approach, not a replacement of existing operational, planning, market, and customer systems. It introduces a coordination layer that brings models and data from those systems into a shared context and aligns timing across real-time, near-term, and planning horizons.
TGO Concepts
The TGO layer maintains a unified view of the grid state, constraints, forecasts, and flexibility envelopes.
The TGO layer closes the gap between planning and operations by translating increased capacity into anticipated, operational outcomes. It provides shared data, assumptions, and constraints where planning informs the operational guardrails and operations provides feedback into planning through a common risk framework.
TGO can provide for operators:
- Early warning when the operating day is deviating from plan
- Ranked views of constraints and risks
- Clear visibility into available levers to alleviate risk
- Pre-approved playbooks and recommendations
TGO can provide for planners:
- Feedback on how assets and flexibility actually perform
- Ability to model operational reality, not just nameplate capacity
- Inputs that support non-wires solutions and avoided overbuild
- Planning processes informed by near-term risk and constraints
What TGO is not
A replacement of existing control systems (EMS, ADMS, DERMS)
A replacement of market systems
A new control room automation platform
A real-time autonomous control scheme
A smart grid 'digital transformation' program
If you work anywhere near the electric grid, you can feel it: the grid is changing faster than the way we plan and operate it.
Load is growing in new places. Weather is more extreme and less predictable. Customers aren’t just consuming electricity anymore, they’re generating it, storing it, and responding to price and reliability signals. At the same time, utilities are expected to keep reliability high, costs reasonable, and emissions moving down.
