What is SAInt?

The Scenario Analysis Interface for Energy Systems (SAInt) is a planning software to model coupled energy networks & markets, including electricity, gas, heating¹, and cooling¹ networks.

SAInt advances energy planning by allowing users to model coupled energy networks to quantify their interdependencies and synergies and plan their integration and coordination. SAInt’s users can run physical simulations and optimization models to quantify the trade-offs between costs and reliability, and study the intersection of markets and physical systems.

SAInt is used by a wide range of users for different applications. With SAInt’s unique and modular capabilities, as well as its flexible and intuitive interface, you can better inform your planning decisions to reduce capital and operational costs, increase reliability and resiliency, and enable solutions to achieve decarbonization.

¹Modeling of thermal networks will be available in SAInt 3.2, which is planned for Q4 2022.
