Product Overview
Overview
Integral Analytics (IA) software empowers utilities and other stakeholders to plan, capitalize, value and operate electric distribution networks and DER's for the purpose of optimizing distribution systems. Our tools can be used as the source of truth in evaluating and optimizing least cost DER portfolios, analyzing loads and generation on a spatiotemporal (locational and time) basis.
LoadSEER is our core analytics software platform. It incorporates a comprehensive suite of distribution planning, scenario modeling, DER valuation and hosting, and corporate forecast solutions that provide actionable intelligence and defensible decision making to distribution utilities and grid edge stakeholders. The software merges econometric, geospatial, and customer level load forecasting with power flow and engineering reliability requirements to produce dynamic analysis upon which capital investment, regulatory, operational, and customer program decisions may be optimized within a user horizon of one hour ahead to 30 years into the future.
Business Model
- Perpetual software license with support and maintenance term
- Software as a service (subscription-based)
- Data service licensing
- Discrete load/adoption/propensity study
Technology Innovations
IA's proprietary software platform pioneered spatiotemporal (locational and time) analysis, and is capable of providing and managing high volumes of granular datasets and delivering them to grid modeling, load flow, and analysis software (e.g., CYME, Synergi, etc.).
Applications
Integral Analytics offers three main products to power utilities, each of which are aimed at different uses cases:
Distribution system planning and analysis: LoadSEER is a data management platform designed to handle large datasets from a variety of sources and organize them to build and manage various planning scenarios. The solution is purpose-built for integrating with different forecasting services and grid modeling and analysis tools (e.g., CYME, Synergi, etc.)
DSM program evaluation: DSMore is a financial analysis tool to help utilities assess their demand management programs.
Demand response/load flexibility dispatch: the IDROP solution utilizes a proprietary dispatch engine/optimization algorithms and integrates with utility energy management applications to determine least-cost demand response activations.
