Energy sources & simulation

Energy source sizing and network optimisation

Which source, how big, and where does it sit on the network? Our software sizes every generation asset against real hourly demand and allocates capacity across the system, so the cheapest low-carbon kilowatt-hour wins on the merits.

Size sources against hourly demand, not peak guesses

Heat pumps, boilers, CHP, solar thermal, biomass, industrial excess heat, storage and shallow geothermal are dimensioned against the district's hourly load curve, so the base load and the peaking plant end up where they belong instead of both being oversized.

Optimise the mix and the placement together

Capacity and location are one problem, so our platform solves them as one. Multi-injection layouts are tested against the hydraulics, and the combination returned is the one that minimises cost while holding your renewable-share and CO₂ constraints.

Shallow geothermal fields, simulated over decades

Lay out borehole fields, model the thermal interaction between probes and the regeneration you gain in summer with the cooling. Check inlet and outlet temperatures and extraction rates across a 30-year horizon, before anyone drills. Fewer boreholes, better placed, is a routine outcome.

Compare scenarios side by side

Duplicate a variant, swap the source mix, and read the delta on CAPEX, OPEX, LCOE, renewable share and CO₂ emissions. Assumptions stay explicit and versioned, so a comparison you make today still holds up in a tender in months.

  • We needed a solution that could support our design decisions and optimize projects from the ground up. We're finally able to do just that—saving time, improving accuracy, and ensuring we make the best possible impact with each project.

Frequently asked questions

  • Which energy sources are supported?

    Geothermal, air- and water-source heat pumps, industrial excess and waste heat, solar thermal, biomass, gas and electric peaking, and thermal storage, alone or in combination.

  • Can I set a renewable share or CO₂ target as a constraint?

    Yes. Targets act as constraints on the optimisation rather than as after-the-fact checks, so the sizing you get already satisfies them.

  • Does the sizing account for a warming climate?

    Yes. Future climate scenarios can be applied to the demand side, so plant sized today is checked against the heating and cooling loads expected in 2050.
