Digital Analytics & Grid Engineering

Studies and forecasts that tell you how your grid and your market will behave before you commit capital.

Power System Planning & Grid Studies

Grid stability, reliability and integration studies, plus integrated resource planning, for an increasingly inverter-dominated grid.

We check whether the grid stays within voltage, current and frequency limits under normal operation, faults and after disturbances. We also plan what generation and storage the system will need and when, using Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) on GridPath. At the plant level, we use PVsyst to estimate energy yield. Studies support grid-connection applications, network and resource planning, and renewable or BESS integration. Recent scopes include demand–supply gap analysis, MW / MWh / MVAR assessments across CTU and STU corridors, contingency load flow for 2025–2030, and pumped-storage and BESS viability versus thermal additions.

Probabilistic price forecasts that reduce price risk in day-ahead and intraday markets.

We build hybrid forecasting stacks (ARIMA, LSTM/GRU and Transformer models) calibrated to your market. Outputs are P10 / P50 / P90 price ranges, not single numbers, and feed bidding, hedging and PPA decisions.

What we do

Day-ahead and intraday probabilistic forecasts (P10 / P50 / P90)
Hybrid econometric and deep-learning ensembles
Backtesting against ERCOT, NEM, IEX, EPEX and Nord Pool
Calibration for renewable-driven volatility

What you get

Probabilistic price forecasts (point and quantile)
Out-of-sample backtest report with benchmarks
Production-ready forecast feed (API or scheduled batch)
Model card with assumptions, drift signals and audit trail

We apply stochastic optimisation, digital twins and reinforcement learning to dispatch, augmentation and degradation strategy. Built for owners optimising across energy, ancillary-service and capacity revenue stacks.

What we do

BESS dispatch optimisation across stacked revenues
Hybrid solar and storage co-optimisation
VPP and industrial flexibility aggregation
Digital twins for PV strings and grid-forming inverters
Operating envelopes that respect battery degradation and state of health

Field Audits & Protection Engineering

On-site audits and protection studies that keep your facilities efficient, compliant and safe.

Energy & Carbon Audit

Find where energy and emissions go, then cut both with a costed plan.

Our engineers audit industrial, commercial and utility facilities to measure energy use, identify savings and build a greenhouse-gas inventory. We turn the findings into an ISO 50001 roadmap so savings are managed, not one-off.

What we do

Walk-through and detailed facility energy audits
Metering and load profiling of major energy users
GHG inventory (Scope 1, 2 and relevant Scope 3) to the GHG Protocol
ISO 50001 gap assessment and energy-management roadmap
Identification of efficiency, renewable and electrification measures

What you get

Energy audit report with baseline and energy-use breakdown
Prioritised savings measures with cost, savings and payback
GHG inventory and emissions-reduction pathway
ISO 50001 implementation roadmap

Standards: ISO 50001 · GHG Protocol

Sustains Build: can ship as GHG inventory dashboard · ISO 50001 action tracker

Electrical Safety Audit

Identify electrical hazards before they cause downtime, injury or fire.

We inspect electrical installations against applicable codes and standards, use infrared thermography to find hot spots, and test earthing and insulation. Findings are ranked by risk so maintenance teams know what to fix first.

What we do

Compliance review against NFPA 70E and applicable national electrical codes
Infrared thermography of panels, switchgear, transformers and connections
Earthing (grounding) system testing
Insulation resistance testing of cables and equipment
Review of safety procedures, labelling and single-line diagrams

What you get

Electrical safety audit report with risk-ranked findings
Thermography report with annotated images
Earthing and insulation test results against acceptance limits
Corrective-action plan with priorities

Relay Coordination & Protection Studies

Protection settings that clear faults fast and isolate only what they should.

We calculate fault currents, coordinate protective devices using time-current curves, and set relay parameters for new and existing networks. The result is a protection scheme that is selective, reliable and documented for commissioning.

What we do

Fault-current (short-circuit) analysis
Time-current curve (TCC) coordination of relays, breakers and fuses
Relay parametrisation and setting calculations
Review of existing protection schemes and settings
