Grid operators, energy consultancies, and academic research groups need to simulate scenarios integrating renewables, storage, demand response, and sector coupling — from rooftop solar adoption rates to continent-scale transmission expansion. Commercial tools like PLEXOS and Aurora command five-figure annual licenses per seat, putting them out of reach for municipal planning agencies and university departments.</p>
