Deploy & operate
ControlPlane
ControlPlane packages every application into versioned releases and installs them onto the utility’s clusters — cloud, on-premises, or edge — or onto a single server.
The Grid Data Family
The Grid Data Family One connected platform for the modern utility — from the grid to the home.
Eleven applications that ingest, validate, integrate, analyze, visualize, and verify utility data — deployed together, registered together, tested together.
11
applications, one family
Streaming
at utility scale
Integrate

15M+

Architecture
How it all works together
Utility data sources flow in through the Integration Suite; the Management Platform and Enhanced Analytics turn them into billing-grade data and a live network picture; Reporting, Whisper-Wind, and Home Energy Management carry the results to every audience — while ControlPlane, the Platform Manager, and the Testing Platform deploy, register, and verify the whole estate, while the Conversion Testing Tool proves each MDMS go-live.
Products
The family, application by application
Core platform · MDMS
Grid Data Management Platform
A complete Meter Data Management System: streaming ingestion, full-cycle VEE with weather-aware estimation, an exception workbench, master data kept in step with your systems of record, and certified, immutable data served to billing, outage operations, gas, device commands, market settlement, analytics, and regulators.
Simulate everything
Grid Data Simulator
A workflow-oriented, map-driven utility data simulator. Draw a service territory — or search a place — and Grid Data Simulator stands up a complete synthetic utility: electric, gas, and water networks from substation to meter, customers with lifecycle events, meters with real registers and interval channels, and interval, register, and SCADA telemetry.
Core platform · Analytics
Grid Data Enhanced Analytics
GDEA brings the connectivity model from the utility’s GIS together with real-time SCADA telemetry and serves one operational picture across electricity, gas, and water — with power-flow and hydraulic analysis, a what-if scenario sandbox, a complete large-load interconnection workflow, and a library of network analysis checks — with documented APIs behind it.
Grid edge
Home Energy Management
HEM models a home from its address, then schedules its appliances around the price of electricity and the output of solar, wind, and storage — with the thermostat inside its comfort band and every job finished as asked.
Integrate
Grid Data Integration Suite
GDIP connects the utility’s enterprise — SAP IS-U, Oracle CC&B, Maximo, PI, market operators, and the Grid Data family itself — through integration flows designed visually, deployed in one step, and watched as they run.
Operate
Grid Data Platform Manager
The platform the family runs on: shared infrastructure, one sign-on across every application, a gated registry, notifications, and the database housekeeping that keeps the estate fast.
Visualize
Grid Data Reporting
Connect to the data you already have — databases, metrics, query engines, search platforms, REST APIs, or plain JSON — build charts in a guided dialog, compose dashboards, publish, and embed them anywhere the business works.
Converse
Whisper-Wind
Whisper-Wind adds voice-driven navigation and actions to the family’s applications, and a chat assistant that answers plain-English questions from live data, read-only by design — returning tables, explanations, and CSV exports instead of tickets to the data team.
Assure
Grid Data Testing Platform
GDTS ships with ready-made test suites for the platform’s APIs, lets QA compose multi-step API test cases in the browser, executes everything against live environments, and streams results in real time — with an AI assistant that drafts tests from a sentence.
Prove the go-live
Grid Data Conversion Testing Tool
GDCT proves a Grid Data Management Platform go-live. GDMP runs beside the utility’s production MDMS on identical inputs, every output that matters is compared from the bill down, and every difference gets one explained disposition — so cutover ends in a signed decision instead of an argument.
Principles
Why the family works
One source of truth
Master data and validated readings are shared, so every application works from the same consistent answer.
One identity
Single sign-on secures every UI and API in the family — one login model, one role model, everywhere.
One design system
A shared design system means an operator moves between applications without relearning a thing.
One deployment path
Versioned releases through ControlPlane put the same release in dev, QA, and production.
Self-describing estate
Every application registers with the Platform Manager and serves only once approved — the inventory is always true.
Proof over promise
Grid Data Simulator stands up whole synthetic utilities and the Testing Platform verifies every release against them — and the Conversion Testing Tool proves every MDMS go-live against the system it replaces.
FAQ
Common questions about the Grid Data Family
What is the Grid Data Family?
The Grid Data Family is PeriNimble's set of eleven applications that ingest, validate, integrate, analyze, visualize and verify utility data. They are deployed, registered and tested together, and share one identity platform, one design system and one deployment path.
Which applications are in the Grid Data Family?
Grid Data Management Platform, Grid Data Enhanced Analytics, Grid Data Simulator, Grid Data Integration Suite, Grid Data Reporting, Whisper-Wind, Home Energy Management, Grid Data Platform Manager, ControlPlane, Grid Data Testing Platform and Grid Data Conversion Testing Tool.
Do we have to adopt the whole family?
No. You can start with one application or the whole platform. Everything deploys from the same versioned releases, on your infrastructure or ours.
Which enterprise systems does it integrate with?
The Grid Data Integration Suite connects SAP IS-U, Oracle CC&B, Maximo, PI and market operators through visually designed integration flows that are deployed, paused and versioned at runtime, with no restarts.
How is the family deployed and secured?
ControlPlane packages every application into versioned releases and installs them on a cluster or on a single server. One sign-on and one role model secure every screen and API.
How are releases verified?
Grid Data Simulator stands up synthetic utilities, and the Grid Data Testing Platform verifies every release against them, so development, QA and production run the same tested releases.
