Streamline grid planning for a sustainable energy future with Kevala
Efficiently and Effectively Plan and Forecast for DERs on the Grid
Run advanced Load and DER forecasts using granular, time series-based models. Kevala enables rapid iteration and design of multiple scenarios, allowing utilities to save time and move through red tape faster.
De-Risk Planning Outcomes
Understand why, where, and when DERs are adopted, and what the impact of these changes are on grid infrastructure, carbon intensity, and revenue by analyzing scenarios to consider a range of DER adoption and usage outcomes from the bulk power level to individual buildings.
Effectively Communicate with Decision Makers
Visually communicate and convey the justification for proposed plans to decision makers within the company and to regulators and stakeholders.
Support Change Management and Strategic Transformation
Kevala's Professional and Advisory Services team is a dedicated group of utility professionals, regulators, consultants, power system engineers, and grid analytics researchers who support utilities to improve and expand insights from the platform, accelerate user adoption, and position the results to lead to successful strategic outcomes.
Case Study: Preparing California's Grid for Electrification by 2035
The California Electrification Impacts Study was commissioned by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to determine the distribution grid requirements of state transportation electrification targets.
Kevala analyzed over 100 terabytes of data from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) to explain when, where, and how much utilities will need to invest in grid upgrades.
