Leverage PowerClerk data for DER planning and analysis
PowerClerk® Analytics expands utility operations and planning visibility of DERs to the grid edge.
Growing amounts of DERs on the distribution grid are causing concerns about maintaining reliability for grid operators and managing uncertainty for planners. PowerClerk Analytics helps utilities connect the dots between accurate DER data and proven engineering and planning tools.
Engineering Efficiency
Seamlessly connect engineering teams with up-to-date DER data and future adoption scenarios so they can focus on analysis.
Improve Planning Decisions
Unmask customer load from distributed solar production to increase trust in load forecasts.
Satisfy Key Customers
Automate interconnection application technical screening and hosting capacity analysis to reduce interconnection wait times.
Align internal stakeholders around DER Planning and Forecasting

Detailed DER System Specs
System Operations (DERMS, ADMS, EMS)
System Operations
- Improve operational decision-making with short-term PV production forecasts
- Check performance of existing PV systems against accurate expected production data to spot issues early
- Ensure data consistency between systems with reliable web adapters and APIs
Load Forecasting
- Establish a baseline of true load growth, without behind-the-meter PV production
- Disaggregate load, DER adoption, and DER operation forecasts
- Increase trust in load (and revenue) forecasts
Distribution & Resource Planning
- Connect the Host Capacity Analysis (HCA) tool with the DER data system-of-record
- Automate technical screens of new DER interconnection applications
- Study impacts of future PV on the distribution system with simulated time-series PV production data
- Evaluate territory-wide baseline and potential for building electrification, building shell efficiency, and rooftop PV
Cut across utility silos with flexible options to connect DER data with utility tools and processes.
