ONE TOOL FOR YOUR ENTIRE BESS LIFECYCLE
The Fractal Model provides project visibility and optimal outcomes across the entire project lifecycle.
-
Project Development
Utilize the Fractal Model for pre-construction design, investment analysis, and sensitivities. Find ideas projects used using our mapping tools and forecasted revenues. Focus on maximizing long-term returns for both merchant and contracted business models. Optimize the sizing and off-take structure.
-
Due Diligence / M&A
Utilize the Fractal Model to assess the risks and impacts associated with merchant revenue forecasts and financial assumptions. Conduct stress tests on your base case and perform additional sensitivity analyses on the project proforma to understand potential variations. Optimize design and dispatch options to maximize returns.
-
RFP Evaluation
Employ the Fractal Model to assess the impacts of capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX). Quantify costs related to auxiliary loads, monitoring, degradation, warranty and performance guarantees, and maintenance. Compare bids to identify the lowest total cost of ownership.
-
Dispatch Optimization
Apply the Fractal Model to evaluate the physical and financial impacts of a modified or new dispatch strategy for your operational Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Implement sub-hourly revenue optimization for merchant participation across multiple ancillary services, as well as real-time (RT) and day-ahead (DA) energy or capacity services.
