GTEng
When you need to be able to plan for the future, Western Power has its very own modelling tool, the GTEng
WA's future network
When you need to plan for the future, it can be tricky to determine what that future will look like. And when it comes to planning an electricity network, that can be particularly challenging.
However that is a challenge we have well and truly overcome, thanks to our very own modelling tool - the Grid Transformation Engine, the 'GTEng'.
The GTEng is a tool created in-house that maps out what WA's network will look like in 10, 20, 30+ years.

The best solution
By using new modelling tools, we can work out the best locations for new solutions like microgrids or community batteries on our modular network.
A modular and flexible grid
The future of our grid is modular and flexible, with many solutions creating more reliable, safe and renewable energy across our grid. From stand-alone power systems to microgrids and community batteries, WA's future network is full of exciting technology solutions.
