YOUR PROJECT LIFECYCLE

Four Steps to Bankable Results

Every project follows the same rigorous methodology, from initial configuration to investor-ready deliverables.

1

Configure

Select components from our manufacturer database. Set location, load profile, and tariff structure.

2

Simulate

Run hourly physics-based simulation with 3 dispatch strategies. 8,760 timesteps per year, up to 50-year project life.

3

Analyze

Review technical KPIs (yield, PR, capacity factor) and financial metrics (NPV, IRR, LCOE).

4

Deliver

Export in 5 formats — Word, Excel, PDF, PowerPoint, CSV. Generate audience-tailored reports. White-label ready for your clients. Access via API.


TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY

Under the Hood

For engineers who want to understand the methodology. Click each module to see the technical approach.

Manufacturer-Specific Degradation

We don't use generic degradation curves. Each of our 147 battery models has 156+ degradation data points covering SOH and RTE across multiple C-rates (0.25C, 0.33C, 0.5C) and cycle frequencies over 26 years. 3D linear interpolation finds exact values for your operating conditions.

Chemistry-specific aging: LFP, NMC, NCA, and NAS each behave differently. Calendar aging and cyclic aging are modeled separately. Temperature-dependent auxiliary power (HVAC, BMS) is included.

IEC 61724 Loss Waterfall

10-stage loss chain following industry standards. Each loss is independently configurable: soiling, shading (near/far), temperature derating, mismatch, DC cabling, inverter efficiency curves, AC cabling, transformer, availability, and annual degradation.

PVWatts methodology with NOCT temperature corrections. Weather data from PVGIS TMY (1994-2022) for global coverage. Validated against NREL SAM within 2% for typical configurations.

NREL-Compliant Economics

Financial metrics calculated following NREL SAM methodology. NPV, IRR, LCOE, LCOS, and payback on post-tax nominal cash flows. Degradation impact on revenue is automatically included year-over-year.

Cost modeling includes CAPEX (equipment, BOS, EPC), OPEX (O&M, insurance, land), component replacement schedules, and salvage value. Revenue streams: energy arbitrage, demand charge reduction, grid services, PPAs.

Three Dispatch Strategies

Energy Management System coordinates PV, battery, grid, and backup diesel generation. Three strategies for different project needs: Rule-Based priority dispatch, Economic LP dispatch for TOU arbitrage, and MILP Hybrid for diesel-battery optimization with binary scheduling constraints.

Grid modeling includes TOU tariffs, demand charges, tiered pricing, net metering, and import/export asymmetry. Reliability modeling with SAIDI/SAIFI grid outage simulation and automatic islanded detection. Load profiles from built-in templates or custom CSV upload. Voltage and frequency compliance monitoring.

WHY TEAMS CHOOSE US

Built Different

We built Energy Optima because existing tools weren't good enough for real projects.

Real Data, Not Assumptions

Every battery and PV module in our database has real manufacturer data. No generic degradation curves. No estimated efficiency values. If we don't have the data, we don't guess.

Bankable Methodology

NREL-compliant financial calculations. IEC 61724 loss chains. When your lender asks how LCOE was calculated, you have a defensible answer that matches industry standards.

Fast Enough for Real Work

30-year simulation in under 5 minutes. Iterate quickly during client calls. Run sensitivity analysis overnight. Speed that doesn't sacrifice accuracy.

Deliverables That Close Deals

Export to Excel with all calculations transparent. PDF reports with your branding. API access for integration. Outputs designed for what comes next: procurement, financing, construction.
