Hybrid Power System

Design & Simulation

Full-year hourly simulation of hybrid power systems with real NASA weather data.An AI agent handles component sizing, cost optimization, and analysis.

How It Works

Three stages from site definition to optimized design

01

Define Your Site

Set coordinates and load requirements. The platform pulls NASA POWER satellite weather data for your location.

02

Configure or Let AI Design

Manually configure components or describe your needs in natural language. The AI agent sizes solar, battery, diesel, wind, and hydro components.

03

Simulate & Optimize

Run full-year 8,760-hour simulations. The optimizer searches the design space for the lowest-cost configuration meeting your reliability constraints.

Platform Capabilities

Core features of the simulation and design engine

AI Design Agent

An integrated AI agent that sizes components, runs simulations, explains results, and generates reports through conversational interaction.

Full-Year Simulation

Runs an 8,760-hour time-series simulation covering every hour of the year, using location-specific weather data.

Cost Optimization

Grid search, genetic algorithm, and PSO optimizers minimize LCOE and NPC while meeting reliability constraints.

Multi-Source Hybrid

Models solar PV, battery storage (lead-acid and lithium-ion), diesel generators, wind turbines, micro-hydro, and grid interconnection.

Real Weather Data

Integrates NASA POWER satellite climatology data. Monthly averages are synthesized into hourly profiles using physical diurnal models.

Emerging Market Focus

Targets 1 kW – 5 MW systems in off-grid and weak-grid environments, with defaults calibrated for West Africa.

AI-Native Platform

Integrated AI Agent

The AI agent has direct access to the simulation engine, optimizer, and weather data. It can size components, run simulations, compare configurations, and present results with interactive visualizations — all within a single conversation.

Conversational Design

Describe requirements in natural language. The agent translates them into component specifications and system configurations.

Interactive Components

Charts, system configurators, and location maps render directly within the chat conversation.

Diagnostic Analysis

Identifies design issues — diesel wet-stacking risk, undersized battery banks, low renewable penetration — and suggests corrections.

Sensitivity Analysis

Parametric sweeps and what-if scenarios to quantify how design changes affect cost and reliability.

Report Generation

Generates PDF feasibility reports containing simulation results, economic metrics, and system specifications.

Design a solar+battery system for a 50-household village in Bong County, Liberia

I've fetched NASA POWER weather data for Bong County (7.08°N, 9.77°W). Based on the estimated 127 MWh/yr load profile, here is the auto-sized configuration:

Solar PV

88.8kWp

Battery

230kWh

Diesel

25kW

LCOE

$0.214

Shall I run the simulation?

Yes, run it

Simulation complete (8,760 hours in 142ms). Results:

Renewable Fraction

92.0%

Unmet Load

1.16%

NPC (25yr)

$293.1K

Diesel Usage

1,847 L/yr

24-Hour Dispatch (typical day)

SolarBatteryDiesel

The diesel generator runs below 30% load during morning hours. Consider reducing diesel capacity to 20 kW to avoid wet-stacking.

What if I increase battery to 300 kWh?
