PowerGLF is a powerful Excel add-in that allows the planner to perform load forecasting from within a spreadsheet environment.
Electrical load forecasting forms part of network expansion planning and is a crucial input to obtain an optimal long-term development plan. Geographically based load forecasting (GLF) is regarded as the most suitable method where land-use forecasts are used to establish long term electrical load.
PowerGLF was developed by NETGroup and is used extensively in house and by our clients locally and abroad.
PowerGLF forms part of a range of software developed and being refined by NETGroup to complement electrical engineering functions in the Power System Industry.
