💡 Achievements and Growth
- Team Expansion: This year, we welcomed four incredible new members, Santiago Peñate-Vera as our CTO, Joan Sau Bassols as Senior Engineer, Pablo de Juan Vela as Development Engineer, and Cristina Fray Optimization Engineer, bringing fresh energy and expertise to our mission.
- Client Success: We’ve strengthened our partnerships across the energy sector, deepening collaboration with clients to deliver impactful solutions.
- Innovation: Pioneering developments in grid-forming control, AC/DC power flow, and investment optimization.
- Recognition: A 22% increase in GridCal GitHub stars and active participation in large European project consortiums like Daedalos and TenSyGrid.
🚀 Milestones
- Revenue increased by double-digits, continuing a path of sustainable growth.
- GridCal hit 1 million downloads, marking a major milestone in our journey.
- We moved to a new office, providing the space and tools needed to support our growing team and ambitions.
- Completed a rebrand, evolving our identity to reflect the innovation and impact we strive to deliver.
📈 Lessons Learned
- Diversifying Revenue Streams: Reduced reliance on a single revenue source by exploring long-term collaborations with multiple partners across different areas of the energy sector.
- Client-Centric Improvements: Strengthened feedback loops with our clients, incorporating their insights into product updates and delivering solutions tailored to their operational challenges.
- Strategic Vision: Emphasized long-term planning, balancing immediate project goals with investments in innovation and future-proofing our solutions.
- Team Collaboration: Fostered cross-functional teamwork, enabling our diverse team to integrate expertise and innovate more effectively.
🔮 Looking Ahead
We’re excited to push boundaries in 2025. Some new developments you can expect include:
- Dynamic modelling framework to handle inputs for RMS and EMT simulations.
- RMS and EMT performant solvers.
- AC/DC Optimal Power Flow considering a wide range of converters' control modes.
- Extended short-circuit calculation for unbalances in power electronics dominated grids.
- Application of multilinear modelling for power systems stability analysis.
None of this would have been possible without our amazing team, partners, and clients. Here’s to another year of evolving power systems for new realities!
