Catalyst Platform
Currently building Catalyst at Phelas — a SaaS platform that helps renewable energy professionals make smarter investment decisions through data-driven simulations and optimization.
The renewable energy landscape is increasingly complex: fluctuating market prices, evolving regulations, and the growing importance of storage and hybrid assets. Catalyst cuts through this complexity by providing clear, actionable insights.
What Catalyst Does:
- Models how combinations of assets (battery storage, solar PV, wind, hybrid systems) perform under specific market and operational conditions.
- Combines user input data (generation curves, market price forward curves, grid constraints) with advanced optimization algorithms.
- Simulates asset operation and calculates expected revenues across different market scenarios.
Key Features:
- Time resolution at hourly or quarter-hourly intervals for granular analysis.
- Flexible scenario testing to evaluate trade-offs and maximize profitability.
- Clear financial metrics: net revenues, IRR, NPV, and market participation breakdowns.
Who Uses It:
- Investors and financial institutions assessing risk before committing capital.
- Renewable project developers optimizing asset sizing and project design.
- Independent Power Producers analyzing revenue streams.
- Energy consultants providing clients with robust, transparent analysis.
