Our Professional and Advisory Services team utilizes Kevala’s uniquely capable Assessor Platform (the Platform) coupled with advanced grid analytics integrated with each client’s unique systems and environment. The Platform is a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering. Designed to meet the disparate planning requirements related to decarbonization of the electricity generation and transportation sectors by incorporating large amounts of renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) into the grid, the Platform provides clients with a tool for efficiently and effectively planning distribution grids to meet multiple planning scenarios. The Platform’s features and functionality provide users the practical ability to consider grid safety and resiliency in their planning efforts. The Platform’s advanced visualization capabilities facilitate effective communication to stakeholders and decision makers to proposed plans provided by the insights generated by the Platform’s analytics.\n\nA specific application of the Assessor Platform is to aid in utility-scale distributed energy resource (DER) developers to more quickly identify optimal, cost-effective locations for new projects. More than fifty developers currently use this feature to make smarter and faster targeting and locational decisions for sites optimized for solar and storage developments. The Kevala Grid Assessor helps optimize the siting and sizing of new utility-scale distributed energy assets by analyzing prospective locations by parcel acreage, land price, utility territory, energy price, proximity to grid infrastructure, hosting capacity, existing projects, and environmental factors such as slope and wetland coverage to streamline the site identification process, maximize efficiency, and prevent interconnection delays.","Topic Area 2: Solar energy siting practices by developing models, tools, or methodologies for assessing the cost and value of these benefits in solar energy deployment decisions"]
