About Dendrite Consulting

Whether you're putting power onto the grid or pulling it off, grid access is the largest uncertainty most projects carry. The numbers you'll get for it, from the ISO or a data provider, are point estimates with no confidence attached. We give you the distribution: the range of costs you're exposed to, the drivers you can act on, and methods graded against published ISO results. Screen sites and defend budgets on probabilities instead of a single guess. We find transmission capacity for power projects using industry standard powerflow software, and moderate risk by conducting sensitivity analyses that examine the impact of neighboring queued generators. In parallel, Dendrite Consulting will assess the cost of transmission, whether it be from wheeling or basis risk. Dendrite Consulting provides forward-looking guidance by measuring the implications of changes proposed by states, FERC, ISOs, PUCs, and LSEs. Our past analyses include fossil fuel plant retirement predictions, resource adequacy margin forecasts, and nation-wide energy storage siting strategy. With over 10 years of data analytics experience, Dendrite Consulting can create customized algorithms to unveil the areas that will benefit most from renewable power development and inverter-based grid services.
