Grid-Orch: An LLM-Powered Orchestrator for Distribution Grid Simulation and Analytics

Grid‑Orch is a framework that connects Large Language Models (LLMs) to power system simulation via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing engineers to conduct complex distribution grid analyses using natural language. It offers 36 domain‑specific tools across eleven categories—including power flow, voltage analysis, quasi‑static time‑series simulation, and automated optimization—implemented with OpenDSS as the reference engine. The platform supports both cloud‑hosted and locally deployed LLMs, enabling air‑gapped operation, and demonstrates that tasks such as DER interconnection screening can be completed in under two minutes with results identical to traditional scripting.
