Introduction

You can create long-term techno-economic simulations of solar PV installations and battery storage on Tensor Cloud that cover the whole asset lifecycle, from initial investment to decommissioning.

For this, Tensor Cloud holds a digital twin of your asset, of its physical environment, and of the electricity markets. It then applies financial and macro-economic assumptions about the future, provided by you, to run simulations at 30-minute resolution.

This is done in a multi-step process, where the future weather is a crucial input for price generation, asset simulation, and for our curtailment model.

You can explore details on our methodology for each component in the following sections.

Physical environment​

  • Weather: Generation of future weather, based on past data for each location
  • Curtailment: Simulation of curtailment events for each asset

Markets​

Assets​

  • Solar PV: Simulation the expected electricity generation from the solar PV system
  • Battery storage: Simulation of charge and discharge behavior of a co-located battery system
