xUpscale in Its Second Year: Supporting Reliable Grid Operations With Modern Forecasting Tools 

Smarter Grid Operations since September 2024

Berlin, Mai 2026 – When we launched xUpscale into pre-production in September 2024, our mission was clear: enable transmission system operators (TSOs) to prepare for the growing share of renewables in a controlled, risk-free environment. Today, that “dress rehearsal” has become a daily routine — and the results speak for themselves. xUpscale is part of the MCCS Forecasting suite.  

Why Pre-Production Matters 

Running xUpscale in parallel with existing control systems allows operators to simulate real-world conditions with live SCADA and EMS data, validate workflows, and identify potential bottlenecks before go-live. This proactive approach minimizes operational risk and ensures system readiness. 

Testing, learning, and improving together — without compromising grid security 

Trust is critical in control center operations. Operators must rely on accurate data and safe execution. xUpscale was designed for short feedback cycles: 

• Operators provide insights based on real scenarios. 
• Development teams implement improvements rapidly. 
• Updates are visible almost immediately. 

This iterative process ensures the system evolves in line with operational needs and builds confidence across the workforce. 

Data Integrity: The Foundation of Reliability

Advanced functionality only matters if the underlying data is correct. xUpscale delivers real-time visibility into renewable generation, but accuracy is non-negotiable. That’s why data validation, consistency checks, and redundancy mechanisms are core to our architecture — ensuring operators can trust what they see and act decisively. 

Key Capabilities of xUpscale

• Real-Time Renewable Forecasting integrated with MCCS 
• GIS-Based Asset Visualization for wind and solar parks 
• Bottleneck Detection to prevent operational issues 
• Secure Data Exchange with existing EMS/SCADA systems 

Looking Ahead 

xUpscale is more than a software module. It’s a strategic enabler for TSOs navigating the energy transition. By combining MCCS’s proven reliability with innovative renewable integration tools, we help operators prepare, practice, and perfect — with their teams fully engaged.
