Assess your distributed energy requirements using our SMOULDER web tool
Introduction
The SMOULDER web tool provides a platform to:
Determine the optimal size of solar PV/ wind turbine/ battery/ hydrogen microgrids for neighbourhoods and communities accross Aotearoa New Zealand.
Evaluate the impact of on- and off-peak EV-charging on the economics of microgrids.
Estimate the cost of self-sufficiency for grid-connected and off-grid microgrids.
Compare the sensitivity of the microgrid costing to changes in the assets considered in the candidate pool.
