Overview

Comprehensive Microgrid Modeling

The SMAP turns site load, solar, and scenario settings into a single APS-backed model so analysts can inspect demand shape, size storage, evaluate outage resilience, and compare dispatch behavior without rebuilding the dataset between tools.

The preview at right mirrors the kind of load-shape check teams use before moving into battery sizing, energy flow, or outage analysis.

Coverage

What You Can Analyze in The SMAP

The SMAP is organized around a single scenario model, then extended into profile review, battery sizing, energy balance, outage resilience, dispatch, and value-oriented outputs.

Prepare

Build a trustworthy scenario

  • Bind baseline, solar, critical-load, and adjustment inputs into a single APS-backed case.
  • Set microgrid and battery assumptions before deeper analyses.
  • Review load shape, seasonality, and peak-demand behavior before sizing work begins.

Analyze

Size storage and understand energy balance

  • Use SOCr, TCLR, and net-energy metrics to frame battery power and energy needs.
  • Inspect how solar, storage, and grid supply interact across the scenario.
  • Compare baseline, master, and critical views where the scenario supports them.

Decide

Stress-test resilience and operations

  • Simulate outage duration, survivability, and indefinite resilience coverage.
  • Run dispatch-focused studies with the MIP calculator.
  • Translate resilience assumptions into value-oriented outputs for decision-making.
