Configuration Optimizer

Find the Optimal System Design

The OPTIMUS Configuration Optimizer is designed to take the guesswork out of project sizing. By rapidly simulating the economic performance of multiple hardware configurations against your target electricity market, the platform identifies the exact setup that maximizes internal rate of return (IRR).

Key Optimization Vectors

  • Power and Energy Capacity: Determine the ideal ratio of MW to MWh (e.g., 2-hour vs 4-hour duration) based on local market dynamics.
  • DC/AC Ratios: For hybrid PV+BESS projects, optimize the DC-coupled architecture to maximize clipping recapture.
  • Augmentation Strategy: Evaluate the financial tradeoffs between overbuilding on day one versus scheduling periodic DC-block augmentation in years 5, 10, or 15.
  • Inverter Loading: Optimize power conversion system (PCS) sizing to balance cost with peak output capability.

How It Works

  1. Define Bounds: Input your project constraints (e.g., maximum grid interconnection limit, land footprint).
  2. Select Market: Choose the target ISO/RTO and applicable price curves.
  3. Run Simulation: The engine evaluates thousands of permutations using our proprietary dispatch algorithm.
  4. Review Results: The platform outputs a clean, interactive matrix highlighting the highest NPV and IRR configurations, allowing your engineering and finance teams to align on a final design.
