Pilot context Primary audience First pilot workflow Evidence maturity

Readiness factors

Transformer population is named A first pilot group, voltage class, site group, or critical asset set is defined. Evidence streams are available DGA, oil, PRPD, SFRA, thermal/loading, inspection, maintenance, or event records can be used. Workflow pain is clear Evidence chasing, review delays, missing context, or work-package quality are specific enough to measure. Reviewer roles are named Asset, maintenance, operations, protection, data, security, or procurement reviewers are identified. Security and data boundaries are known The team knows whether the pilot must stay local, offline, file-based, or limited to approved exports. Success metrics are practical Preparation time, evidence completeness, reviewer confidence, missing evidence, or traceability will be measured. Expected output is defined The team knows whether it wants an evidence pack, work-package draft, data contract, or governance checklist. Approval path exists Draft, edited, rejected, approved, and escalated states can be recorded.

What this tool is — and is not

This is a planning aid computed entirely in your browser. It does not assess transformer condition, does not replace IEEE or IEC guidance or engineering judgment, and its output is not a diagnostic conclusion. Use it to prepare a pilot conversation.

This builder is a planning aid only. It does not diagnose transformer condition, approve maintenance, perform security assessment, create a binding RFP, or replace qualified engineering, legal, procurement, or OT review.

Pilot journey

Choose the first workflow your team wants to prove.

Every tool has a standalone page for sharing and pilot preparation, grouped here by the stage of the pilot journey it serves.

Scope your pilot

Frame the first conversation — audience, value hypothesis, visibility, and load context — before any private data moves.

FAQ

Tool boundaries stay explicit.

The public tools are designed for safe planning conversations with utility, TSO, DSO, generation, data center, oil and gas, and industrial electrical teams.

Do GridAPM tools upload asset or feeder data?

No. The public tools are client-only planning aids. They do not upload files, asset identifiers, feeder records, work orders, or server submissions. Optional site analytics only runs after consent and does not receive tool inputs.

Are these tools diagnostic or operational systems?

No. They do not diagnose transformer condition, approve maintenance, set protection settings, calculate hosting capacity, approve interconnections, or determine operating limits.

How should a utility use the downloadable PDFs?

Use the PDFs to structure a pilot discussion, procurement review, evidence inventory, value-model assumptions, reviewer workflow, governance checklist, and measurement plan before using GridAPM with approved source data.
