Problem
Utilities and renewable developers lack granular, real-time visibility into how distributed energy resources and electrification will affect grid operations and carbon emissions, making it difficult to plan investments, manage stress, and meet decarbonization targets.
Solution
Kevala offers a cloud‑based platform that aggregates comprehensive grid, DER, and socioeconomic data to deliver high‑resolution analytics for grid planning. The system provides interactive map‑based visualizations, power‑flow scenario modeling, and precise locational carbon‑intensity calculations. Users can forecast the impacts of solar, storage, electric vehicles, and other DERs on the distribution network and evaluate non‑wires alternatives, rate structures, and fleet electrification. Integrated tools also enable rapid site‑siting for solar and storage projects by overlaying grid constraints and carbon metrics. Results can be shared across teams and exported to industry‑standard tools such as CYME, PSS/E, and OpenDSS, supporting collaborative decision‑making and regulatory reporting.
Target Audience
Primary customers are utility planners, transmission and distribution engineers, and renewable project developers who need detailed grid analytics to guide investment and siting decisions.
