Problem
The increasing volume of interconnection requests for renewable energy projects is creating significant backlogs for transmission providers, leading to delays and uncertainty in the deployment of clean energy resources. Project developers and M&A analysts also face challenges in assessing interconnection risks and understanding the impact of grid constraints on project viability.
Solution
Pearl Street Technologies offers two software solutions, SUGAR™ and Interconnect™, designed to streamline the interconnection study process and accelerate the deployment of renewable energy projects. SUGAR™ helps transmission providers manage interconnection queue volumes by expediting modeling and simulation studies. Interconnect™ provides project developers and M&A analysts with a scenario analysis and risk assessment platform to evaluate projects at any point in the interconnection lifecycle, improving the chances of successful deployment and providing high-quality data for financial models.
Target Audience
The primary users are transmission providers seeking to manage increasing interconnection queue volumes, and project developers and M&A analysts needing to assess interconnection risks for renewable energy projects.
Features
- SUGAR™ utilizes advanced circuit simulation methods to improve convergence robustness for steady-state analysis, expediting grid model building.
- SUGAR™ works with industry-standard data formats and integrates into existing transmission planning workflows.
- Interconnect™ enables developers to run customized interconnection studies on demand, exploring variables that impact project viability.
- Interconnect™ computes on-demand injection capacity maps based on user-defined assumptions.
