Solar and battery installation at a commercial site
For energy, engineering and port teams

Understand demand. Compare a practical plan.

Connect generation, storage, operating demand and equipment limits so teams can compare schedules and investment options on a shared basis.

The starting point

Does this sound familiar?

Separate systems can each appear to run well while the site as a whole wastes energy or hits a capacity limit. A useful plan needs the operating context, forecasts and constraints in one view.

01

What is driving the demand peak?

02

Are generation and storage working together?

03

Which operating or investment option fits our constraints?

What we do together

A clear route to
a useful answer.

Start with a bounded problem and the information available. Bring the team into the work from the beginning.

01

Reconcile the operating and energy record for one site or system.

02

Build a baseline and test forecasts against representative periods.

03

Compare schedules or investment scenarios with assumptions and limits visible.

What you leave with

  • A shared operating and energy baseline
  • A comparison of feasible scenarios
  • A visual plan and an agreed way to evaluate it
An application in practice

An operating or investment choice with visible trade-offs.

A port team wants to add shore power and electric equipment. Linking vessel calls and charging requirements to capacity helps it compare a changed schedule with the next infrastructure investment.

Start with
Meter, generator, solar and battery readings
Operating schedules and service requirements
Tariffs, equipment ratings and connection limits
Work towards

An operating or investment choice with visible trade-offs.

With sources, assumptions and human review made visible.

Know whether it helped.

Test data quality, forecast usefulness and option rankings against an agreed baseline. Keep modelled savings separate from measured results and involve the relevant engineering specialists.

A useful first engagement

Operational Opportunity Review

For a team with a clear operational frustration and several possible ways forward.

See the scope and outputs
Indicative scope: 1–2 weeks
  • A map of the current workflow and its constraints
  • A baseline and prioritised opportunities
  • Options, a recommendation and a scoped next step

Duration depends on agreed scope, access and data readiness.
