Case study

Real results from a PJM-area utility and Google

In a study with a major PJM-area transmission operator—supported by Google—FlexConnect demonstrated how flexible grid connections can safely accelerate hyperscale data center projects using only existing grid capacity.

3-5 years faster

Flexible grid connections cut timelines to serve large loads by up to five years.

3x more load

With flexibility, customers can connect sites with 1.5-3x higher demand.

>99% grid power

Flexible sites stay fully grid-powered for all but ~30-70 constrained hours per year.

The challenge

Demand is exceeding available grid capacity

Surging demand and uncertainty

Data center proposals are multiplying rapidly, but utilities lack clear visibility into which projects will move forward.

Limited grid expansion

Aging assets, wildfire mitigation, and existing capital plans leave limited time and budget for rapid network upgrades.

Affordability mandate

Utilities face regulatory and legislative pressure to support growth while reducing rates, limiting large investments.

Delayed interconnections

Large loads wait years for upgrades to complete, even though the grid can serve most hours reliably today.
How FlexConnect works

From planning studies to real-time enforcement

FlexConnect combines industry-leading AC power flow simulations with continuous grid forecasting to power both flexible connection studies and real-time operations. The same hour-by-hour analysis used to approve a connection inform the operating limits that keep it reliable.

Planning

Define firm and conditional capacity hour by hour

Operations

Enforce operating limits as grid conditions change

Utility outcomes

Connect large loads faster without compromising reliability

With FlexConnect, utilities interconnect large loads sooner, use more existing capacity, and control long-term costs. They do it all while safeguarding grid reliability.

Keep large loads within safe limits

Protect equipment with operating limits that adapt as conditions shift and large loads come online.

Use more of the grid you already have

Unlock time-varying capacity across the transmission and distribution network to increase overall grid utilization.

Boost affordability for all

Ensure large loads cover their own incremental costs and spread fixed system costs across more sales to bring rates down.

Why Camus

Reliability is non-negotiable

Camus combines deep utility experience with industry-leading AC power flow simulations and operational forecasting. Developed with partners like PPL and proven at scale, FlexConnect gives utilities the most dependable system for implementing flexible grid connections.

Verified accuracy

Our power flow simulations are validated against industry-standard tools like PSS/E and CYME, delivering trusted, reproducible results.

Built with leading utilities

FlexConnect was developed alongside utilities like PPL to ensure its studies, controls, and safeguards reflect how utilities actually plan and operate.

Proven in the field

Camus runs safely in production across investor-owned and public power utilities, integrating real SCADA, network models, and site telemetry at full grid scale.

Deployment

Be fully operational in just 12 weeks

FlexConnect deploys quickly because it works with the systems you already use. Utilities begin with historical data, add read-only data streams, and reach full operational readiness in about twelve weeks.

Read-only OT access for rapid, secure integration

Less than 40 hours of IT involvement

Deployment in ~12 weeks
