The boom in renewable energy renders feeder forecasts and historical baselines unreliable.
Prepare for the prosumer rush with dcbel Home Energy Digital Twin
Real customer base, virtual DERs.
Batch create and configure your Digital Twins by uploading meter data or using personas to create synthetic meter loads.
Connect via API to existing DERMS for grid planning and feeder or asset management.
Trusted by
The power plant is moving into the home.
262 GW
of new DER and demand flexibility capacity will be installed in the US by 2027, nearly matching new utility-scale resource installations during the same timeframe.
Wood Mackenzie
Assess the impact of edge devices on grid capacity and energy market dynamics.
Real-time weather, pricing and family life
Run baseline profile or real-time meter data and simulated input through energy forecasting algorithms.
Grid-edge rooftop solar + storage and other non-wire alternatives must be scaled up.
Load, EV, solar, ESS, feeder forecasts — see it all
Forecast grid capacity needs and net load as many as seven days in advance, with hundreds or even thousands of distributed devices aggregated in your DERMS.
Growing wholesale volatility due to injection intermittency requires new rate strategies.
Constraints from home to grid
Use the Chorus API / Control Center interface to simulate different states such as EV arrival and departure, grid outages and even a whole new energy program or rate structure. Sequence or supersede constraints from all energy providers.
Leverage high-precision DER forecasting
Foresight is 20/20. The path towards transactive energy without limits begins with accurate grid planning, capacity forecasting and dynamic price modelling.
Real-time visibility
Evaluate the impact of different real-time flexibility price profiles and dynamic prices on net load forecasts (including PV, home load, ESS and EV usage forecasts).
Multi-year forecasting
Get hyper-realistic insights into the future impact of DER integration, flexibility programs, and energy asset control.
Granular integration
Connect seamlessly with DERMS/ ADMS / load forecasting tools via IEEE 2030.5 / OpenADR / CIM or the powerful Chorus REST native API.
