Accelerating BESS Modeling & Iteration to Stay Ahead of the Competition

The battery energy storage system market continues to evolve rapidly, yet many teams remain anchored in manual processes, outdated spreadsheets, and static consulting reports. Navigating the complexities of development engineering, equipment selection, procurement, and long-term project viability requires more than just high-level market trends or time-consuming data collection from a small number of suppliers. Teams need actionable, real-time, market-wide pricing and product data, along with automated tools, to quickly assess BESS project viability, establish a reliable design & budget, and make high-value supply procurement decisions.

To address these challenges, we are excited to introduce powerful tools for more granular design control and iteration in Anza’s Energy Storage Pro, building upon our on-demand pricing, commercial, technical, and risk data from 95% of the market. 

Take a closer look at how Anza’s latest Energy Storage Pro release helps teams achieve significant time savings and higher margins while mitigating risk mitigation through more accurate planning.

Achieve Engineering-Grade Validation & Optimization

Development engineers can now streamline their design process by quickly modeling and iterating on system sizes and configurations to optimize for site constraints and capacity maintenance. Easily add custom system information as detailed in CAD designs, then run Anza’s detailed configuration tool to catch critical flaws, such as voltage mismatches or short circuit limits. Then, rapidly run various project iterations to see how varying inputs, such as system size or capacity maintenance strategy, impact lifecycle cost or system design footprint. 

With compatibility checks in under a minute and the ability to model 10+ trade-off scenarios in under 30 minutes, engineers can gain confidence in their basis of design in no time.

Market-Wide Benchmarking to Validate Supply Decisions

Procurement managers can make accurate, high-confidence supply decisions by instantly comparing delivery timing, tariff, and FEOC compliance scenarios and confidentially benchmarking their proprietary quotes against the entire market. In the Anza platform, set custom pricing for a new system to confidentially compare proprietary quotes against 95% of the market. Then run scenario modeling to determine the optimal time to buy. With this powerful scenario iteration, stress-test quotes against variable tariff outcomes and delivery timelines to identify the lowest-risk purchase window.

Using this data and tools helps create more accurate budgets in less time without sacrificing diligence or jeopardizing project viability. Easily validate and present cost-effective, high-confidence supply recommendations to stakeholders without relying on outdated information or social capital with suppliers.

Rapid Viability & Scenario Analysis

Project developers also use Anza to maximize project value and prioritization, and easily defend decisions to stakeholders with accurate, data-backed confidence. Model site-specific requirements, such as size, duration, and location, to generate an immediate, accurate CapEx & OpEx budget. This enables a quick assessment of project viability, ensuring you aren’t allocating resources to dead-end assets.

Utilize the platform to identify the most valuable site configuration before detailed engineering begins. Easily duplicate scenario iterations and instantly toggle variables, such as augmentation and overbuild, to find the highest returns. Feed accurate cost data into financial models to compare projects, enabling you to prioritize resources and determine where to invest.

With Anza, all teams gain a competitive advantage over external peers by accelerating and improving outcomes of BESS modeling, equipment selection, and procurement. Join our upcoming webinar on March 25 or schedule a meeting today to learn more about how to minimize project risk, maximize total lifecycle value, and present a cost-effective, high-confidence BESS design & budget in no time.
