6. Energy systems are becoming more
complex and inter-related
People are struggling to get clarity on
implementing change
Informed independent analysis is in
short supply, and expensive
Technology is developing fast, and
comparing options is not easy
The whole energy landscape is
developing rapidly
“ Transitions are often
uncomfortable and
bumpy, and we are in
the midst of nothing less
than a revolution in the
provision of our energy ”
STEVE HOLLIDAY
President of the
Energy Institute &
former Chief Executive
of National Grid plc.

7. Existing tools are mostly technology
specific or over simplistic
There is no one tool available that can
factor in all parameters
…to compare multiple technologies,
strategies & permutations
…to make operational and commercial
sense of available options
…to provide investment clarity and
post installation verification
…that can adapt and model change on
multiple fronts
… until now

8. Is a free battery a good
idea vs. installing your
own energy storage?
How do you compare
different energy
storage technologies?
What mix of generation &
storage is optimal for your
site(s)?
How does changing your
operational strategy
affect your bottom line?
How should you adapt to
changing regulations,
tariffs or charges?
How do you independently
verify or compare system
quotations?
What effect will adding
CHP have to your
energy mix & strategy
How can you best charge
a fleet of electric vehicles
to minimise cost?
…these & many other
questions can be solved
using GridMAP

9. The power of GridMAP
GridMap is designed to help site developers,
managers and investors analyse existing (or
projected) energy demand and model different
potential developments & strategies.
Once a site demand profile is established (or
simulated) you can model the addition of solar PV
systems, wind turbines, CHP, energy storage,
differing energy strategies, PPAs, demand side
response, load shifting, tariff changes and other
energy related opportunities. This is done
whilst factoring in any Grid limitations or critical load
issues.
Model generation, storage & strategy

10. In addition to modelling new developments
you can forward plan and adapt your energy
strategy to new regulatory requirements,
changing tariffs, or new market developments.
Adapting to Change
Multiple Scenario Analysis
GridMap enables you to compare multiple
possibilities and outcomes, to simultaneously
study many permutations. From these studies
you can optimise any system developments,
and best adapt current ones in line with client
priorities.
In order to assess five sizes of PV
with five sizes of battery & three
energy strategies GridMAP will run
all seventy-five permutations
These are then accessible online,
can be ordered by key indicators,
and a full set of interactive reports
is available for each permutation

20. Customer Propositions
Manual reports
 Data sharing
 Running the study
 Presenting the results
 Reports & pricing
 Software tools
 Bespoke tools

21. Our Process Data Sharing
Before any study can be done we need some
information. The scope of data required will
depend on the nature and complexity of the study
to be undertaken.
Our analyst will work with you to verify what
information is needed and how it can be sourced.
If not available we may be able to help through
profiling existing templates, or by implementing
monitoring for a time.
Once received Argand will run a data integrity
analysis to ensure everything provided is suitable
and complete.
Common Data Sets
• Half-hourly demand data
• Heat profiles (for CHP)
• Solar or other generation information
• Storage technologies to be studied
• Cost parameters of district heating systems
• Energy tariffs and/or PPA arrangements
• Inflation &/or other financial assumptions
• Sources of income to be factored
• Financial structuring for rates of return studies

22. Running the Study
Once the necessary information has been attained
and the scope of the study has been agreed
Argand commence building the study model.
We then run all the permutations to be studied.
Presenting the Results
The results are delivered to you via our project
web interface, which provides complete access
to all the permutations run, and a full set of
charts for each one. Our analysts will be on-
hand to help you with any required
interpretation of the results.

23. Making Changes
Sometimes the results of the first study cause a
client to change the parameters to be assessed.
One or two simple changes can usually be
accommodated. If, however, you want to add more
technologies or change the scale range to be
studied we may need to charge for additional time.
Project Completion
Once completed, the project will remain
accessible in your GridMap interface for future
reference and requirements. If you progress to
buy a software licence for GridMap you will be
able to edit these initial studies directly yourself.

24. Manual Studies Pricing
Manual Studies Included
1 project per month = £500 per study
5x projects per month = £400 per study
10x projects per month = £300 per study
20x+ project per month = £250 per study
• Energy demand and costs analysis
• Addition of generation such as solar or wind
• Addition of combined heat & power systems
• Addition of energy storage to a facility
• Addition of generation + energy storage
• Impact of constraints on system potential
• Assessment of multiple energy strategies
• Assessment of change to existing scenarios
Please note that these prices are achievable if the required
information is supplied in a workable form. Meeting in person
to discuss a project, or for example fixing incomplete data sets
would understandably attract additional fees (charged @£80
per hour). However, some leeway is usually allowable, and help
is always provided, particularly to assist with your first study.
Argand endeavour to deliver these services at an
extremely affordable price. The more studies you do, the
more familiar we all become, and the cheaper it gets.

25. More Complex Studies
Larger or more complex studies are available.
Pricing depends on the time involved to set
up and run / report on the studies required.
Please call us to discuss.
For sites with multiple issues such as import
or export constraints, complex or critical
demands, private micro-grids, off-grid
scenarios, multi-site power aggregation or
other non-standard BHM scenarios please
call us to discuss. They can be modelled, but
they are be a bit more involved.
Technologies currently available to model
include: existing demand, solar PV (existing &
proposed), wind, CHP, energy storage (all
forms). Others can be added as required. A
wide range of stackable revenues can be
modelled as appropriate.
Argand Solutions have a range of monitoring,
control and limiting systems available to
gather data, maximise system potential, and
to monitor performance post installation.
