Lahmeyer International Selects GTMax for use in Regional Transmission Planning
Lahmeyer International GmbH (LI) has selected ADICA’s Generation and Transmission Maximization (GTMax) software to analyze complex electricity market and operation issues. Since the firm was founded in 1966, LI's staff and management have enjoyed an excellent reputation as highly professional independent consultants. Today LI has a staff of over 850 men and women from over forty nations. These specialists develop concepts, plan and evaluate projects in the fields of energy, hydropower and water resources, transportation in nearly all countries of the world.
LI purchased a perpetual license to use GTMax by their Energy Division staff to perform market efficiency analysis as part of an overall Regional Transmission Planning Process. GTMax simulates the dispatch of electric generating units and economic trade of energy among utility companies and other market participants. The model computes hourly energy transactions, production costs, and market clearing prices.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) conducted a Technology Review of the GTMax software. Factors considered in this review, include: suitability and cost-effectiveness of the software solution; maintenance; training; and staffing. Upon completing this review, USAID procured 15 GTMax licenses for utility companies in seven countries of Southeast Europe.
