Divisions
Infrastructure
Thoroughly assess energy supply sources and conduct meticulous grid-integration analysis to ensure a seamless incorporation of diverse energy resources and enhance overall system reliability and efficiency.
Operations
Conduct comprehensive impact assessments, including environmental, grid, operational, and vehicle analyses, when transitioning entire vehicle fleets to electric. Develop electric fleet scheduling mimicking internal combustion engine fleet operations.
Software
Utilising micro-mobility SUMO and GPS data, virtual maps simulate electric mobility. A grid impact simulator models battery storage and renewables, advancing the understanding of sustainable transportation and energy systems.
