Design Microgrid (Solar) 20180515-1500 Defaults

Run this computational tool to place the following components of a solar microgrid:

  • Service Drop Poles
  • Service Drop Lines
  • Distribution Poles
  • Distribution Lines

The algorithm makes the following optimizations:

  • Place distribution poles near roads when it is more cost effective to do so.
  • Avoid pole obstacles when placing service drop poles and distribution poles.
  • Avoid line obstacles when placing service drop line and distribution line.

Relevant Industries

  • Energy > Microgrid > Renewable

Target Applications

  • Microgrid Site Design

Pricing Notes

  • Pricing is on a per-site basis.
  • Please contact billing@crosscompute.com for special rates.

Usage Notes

  • Choose a sufficient amount of memory and time to run the algorithm.
  • You can influence the algorithm to put more distribution poles near roads by increasing Off Road Cost Multiplier.
  • The following features are not included in this version:
    • Battery Placement
    • Solar Panel Placement
    • Wifi Router Placement
    • Street Lamp Placement
    • Power Meter Placement
    • Pole Type Assignment
  • The algorithm is also available as an API for easier automation and integration into your workflow.
