Energy & power

The future of the energy industry is rapidly changing with new technologies to conserve resources. More than half of recent Analytica applications analyze the feasibility, economics, and climate impacts of energy technologies, ranging from investment in solar and wind, reducing methane leaks, heat pumps and the electrification of buildings, electric vehicles, to electrofuels. See key case studies, engaging webinars, and provocative blogs on a variety of projects in these areas below, authored by Lumina consultants and other Analytica users.

Lumina’s consulting team has deep expertise in energy efficiency, renewables, energy use in transportation, and decarbonization planning. They stand ready to build custom decision-support  applications to meet your needs — or to train and support you in building your own tools. 

Emissions trading and the US electricity market

What is the effect of current and proposed economic and environmental regulations? The Haiku model is used by organizations in the electric power market to forecast these effects.

Electrical energy storage valuation tool

Analytica was used to build an energy storage modeling application to evaluate the costs and benefits of various storage technologies.

Evaluating “Importance” to help green building design

The importance analysis features in Analytica helped designers determine where to spend their design time, leading to building designs with reduced environmental impact.

Optimizing pricing for natural gas distribution

BG Group developed an Analytica model to optimize pricing for natural gas. Leading gas distributors in Brazil and India are now using the tool.

Corporate sustainable energy purchasing plans

Most large organizations try to procure electricity from renewable sources to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. See how some are weighing their options.

Savings from shifting electricity load to off-peak

This open-source Analytica tool evaluates the cost-effectiveness of load-shifting technologies, including batteries and thermal cooling.

Is farmed salmon safe?

By comparing the risks and health benefits of farmed salmon, Finnish analysts show that eating farmed salmon is much healthier than eating beef and other animal proteins.

The effects of gas prices and electricity tariffs on heat pump economics

You might expect that a spike in natural gas prices from Russia’s war on Ukraine would lower carbon emissions—making electrification more economical. However, that is not the case.

    The free edition of Analytica includes these key Analytica features:
    Free Analytica has no time limit. The only constraint is it won’t let you create more than 100 variables or other objects. But your model can be quite substantial since each variable can be a multidimensional array. It also lets you explore, change inputs, and run existing models of any size (excluding features unique to the Enterprise or Optimizer editions).
