EnVision.
INTEGRATED SYSTEM DESIGN.
EnVision is a modeling and simulation service that accurately quantifies the techno-economic performance of multi-technology renewable power systems.
At the core of EnVision model is an operation simulator that runs a time-based power flow model of a proposed hybrid renewable system, while using ADAPTR’s energy management algorithm.
The plot above shows a 10-day simulated operation of a wind-storage-diesel power system in the EnVision platform, where the bars below the horizontal line represent power draw from the system and the bars above the line represent power injected into the system.
KEY BENEFITS:
Highly accurate feasibility analyses
Faster identification of optimal system design
Reduced iterations and cost per project
Reduced technical uncertainties during integration and commissioning
KEY FEATURES:
- Time-domain interactions between technology, resources, load and constraints
Operational grade energy management algorithm for renewables optimization
AI-based optimizer to identify the right mix of multi-technology system
ANSWERING KEY DESIGN QUESTIONS:
- What is the optimal size of the energy storage system (ESS)?
What is the ideal ESS technology to meet project objectives?
What is the realistic operational life of the ESS selected?
What are the value-drivers and value-sinks in the project?
- What is the real revenue impact due to resource intermittency?
What is the impact of faults occurring at various times?
What is impact of utility restrictions and interconnection requirements?

ONGOING AND COMPLETED PROJECTS.
TRUSTED BY PROJECT DEVELOPERS.
Renewable energy project developers make key project design decisions based on ADAPTR’s recommendations through its EnVision service. ADAPTR’s proprietary Microgrid Control System EnControl has proven its operational stability and performance since its deployment in 2021 for the Mary’s Harbour Hybrid Renewables project.
TRUSTED BY GLOBAL ENGINEERING FIRM.
ADAPTR’s expertise is sought by premier engineering company, Stantec, and solicited to perform some of the key studies in major power system projects in various jurisdictions around the world.
TRUSTED BY UTILITIES.
ADAPTR considers it a priority to share knowledge and experience with utility partners in integration and operation of hybrid renewables. Our knowledge-sharing approach has helped utilities servicing remote regions gain better understanding on the operation of inverter-based renewables in isolated power systems.
