As part of encoord’s mission to enable the energy transition, the company recently collaborated with the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) College of Engineering and Applied Science to facilitate the use of its modeling software SAInt for a graduate course titled Power System Planning and Operations.

"With the addition of the thermal network model, SAInt has become the first commercial software application that enables the modeling and planning of electricity, gas, and thermal networks in a single integrated platform using a common architecture and workflow. Network planners can now seamlessly plan across these critical infrastructures without the need of using three separate tools that were not designed to interact with one another. This will increase the efficiency of modeling processes, enhance the communication between different planning teams and improve the overall accuracy of simulation results."

Hydrogen is the primary energy source for sending rockets into space and powering the International Space Station. On earth, it’s being heralded by some as a key piece to the problem of decarbonizing the energy sector. Can hydrogen follow the path of other space-age energy technologies developed by NASA – such as solar photovoltaics and LED lighting – and make the leap from the final frontier back to the modern car, home, or electric utility?
