GRID MODELING

Grid Modeling

POWER FLOW STUDY

We find points of interconnection that have sufficient available transfer capacity (ATC), and reduce the cost of interconnection by minimizing the risk of triggering network upgrades.

Ask us for a free State of Powerflow Consultation to help you with preliminary transmission exploration.

QUEUE SENSITIVITY

We iterate powerflow models to test for sensitivity to regional interconnection queues. We provide results that elucidate risk associated with queue constrained areas.

IMPROVE GRID STABILITY

Modern power inverters can offer a suite of grid services. We diagnose locations that offer the most benefit to the grid.

 

Check out our resources page for helpful insight about "stacking services" for an energy storage project.

TRANSMISSION COST ASSESSMENT

We track down the cost of wheeling and/or basis risk associated with your potential projects.

GENERATOR RETIREMENT FORECAST

Fossil fuel plant retirements create interconnection potential and market value. We forecast fossil fuel plant retirements and the market implications of those retirements.

CAPACITY & RESOURCE ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT

We elucidate offtaker resource adequacy requirements and forecast capacity deficiencies.

LMP HEAT MAP

Historical LMP analysis can be useful for gauging relative market value. For intermittent generators, we weight the data with an 8760 power production profile and produce heat maps for spatial analysis.
