Interconnections & Customer Solutions

Grid Connection Study

Digitize and automate the evaluation process for new interconnection applications

The app supports the entire application and evaluation process from data transfer of all relevant process information to technical grid study and documentation. As a result, utilities can reduce the processing time per request tremendously and manage the rapidly growing number of new requests without additional staff.

• Automated transfer of all customer and process data from other systems
• Determination of typical interconnection variants
• Automated grid studies and cost evaluation
• Process documentation and archiving
• Queue management for assets that have been approved but not yet put into operation

Grid Connection Navigator

Interactive map with available capacity for complex interconnections

The Grid Connection Navigator offers a new way for utilities to interact with their customers, like distributed energy resource (DER) developers, project planners and energy consultants. If they want to connect new sites to the grid, they need to identify a suitable location, interconnection opportunity, and permitting pathway to install and commission their project. Here's how the Grid Connection Navigator helps: 

• Detailed insights into remaining capacity and headroom via a consolidated view, and parcel-based map 

• Direct comparison of multiple locations to find the best option and current data on interconnection capacity to reduce investment risk 

• Certainty in planning, even before acquiring property or conducting feasibility studies and a reliable basis for developing well-founded business cases 

• Identification of time-depending network availability due to visualized seasonal hosting capacity  

• Smarter siting decisions and better alignment with real-world generation patterns 

• Fewer speculative and unqualified requests, freeing up capacity for projects at primary and secondary network levels that are actually feasible
