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.
