Interconnect™ for Project Developers

Evaluating Interconnection Risk:
Scenario Analysis for Data-Driven Decisions

Interconnect™ is your one-stop solution for running customized interconnection studies with results in hours. At any point in the interconnection lifecycle, Interconnect™ can deliver you on-demand injection capacity maps, automated model building, thermal analysis, constraint identification, mitigation determination, and cost allocation across any number of user-defined scenarios.

The Challenge

Interconnection Backlogs Create Time and Cost Uncertainty for Your Portfolio

And there’s no shortage of questions you have to be prepared to answer to navigate toward an interconnection agreement:
  • What is the injection capacity at a given POI, and how does it vary given changes in the queue?

  • Where in the system is my project contributing to overloads and how many constraints are at this POI?

  • What will the interconnection cost be when the study is finally done?

  • What happens if a prior-queued project withdraws?
  • What happens if a nearby project reduces its size?
  • Should we reduce our project size to limit cost allocations?
  • Could our resources be better deployed elsewhere?
The solution

Interconnect™
by Pearl Street

Interconnect™ provides you the ability to model and analyze critical scenarios to obtain a comprehensive sense of “interconnection risk.”

It helps you answer the questions above, enhance project siting efforts, be better prepared at decision points, and steer more projects toward successful interconnection.

Ultimately, Interconnect™ provides a scalable way to assess interconnection risk and optimize project decisions.

Key Features
