Minerva Interconnect™ is a cloud-based SaaS platform designed to streamline and automate power grid interconnection studies.
With robust modeling capabilities, automated study execution, and seamless integration with industry-standard tools like TARA and Plexos, Minerva empowers utilities, developers, and consultants to optimize interconnection processes with transparency and efficiency.
We’re building Minerva Interconnect to revolutionize the interconnection process—but we want to hear from you!
Tell us about your interconnection process, study types, and challenges so we can shape Minerva to better meet your needs. Your insights will help us build a smarter, more efficient solution!
Generation Interconnection Model-on-Demand
Select projects based on electrical distance from POI, rather than arbitrary bus distances.
Pre-Screening Capabilities
Evaluate generation availability before study execution.
Custom Model Generation
Outputs include:
Flexible Model Intake
Seamlessly import Transmission Expansion and Generation Interconnection models, enabling efficient processing and project-specific model extraction.
Automated Contingency Analysis
Integrated with TARA for stress-testing grid capacity under failure scenarios.
Transfer Limit & Generation Deliverability Studies
Ensures projects meet ISO/regulatory requirements.
Coming soon
Curtailment Risk Analysis
Evaluates congestion and times of limited generation capacity.
Coming soon
Probabilistic Simulation Capabilities
Enhances Greenfield project analysis by modeling uncertainty and assessing risk in dynamic grid conditions to have a probabilistic analysis framework.
Study Results Post-Processing
Enables project cost estimation, scenario comparisons, and sensitivity analyses for deeper insights and decision-making.
Study Duplication & Modification
Easily rerun past studies with modifications.
Favorite & Pin Key Studies
Enhance workflow efficiency with easy access to critical studies.
Cloud-Based Scalability
Accessible anywhere with an internet connection.
Concurrent Users & Compute Resource Scaling
On-demand computational power for enhanced predictive capabilities.
Coming soon
Interactive Map-Based Visualization
A geospatial interface for viewing study results, assessing grid conditions, and launching new analyses directly from the map.
Unlike black-box solutions, Minerva provides full visibility into model-building and study execution.
Enables flexible access, collaborative workflows, and high-performance computing.
Works with leading tools like TARA and Plexos, ensuring compatibility with existing, custom workflows.
With upcoming features like Curtailment Risk Analysis and Probabilistic Evaluations, Minerva evolves with industry needs.
Cloud-based SaaS model — No on-premise installation required.
Expert guidance ensures a smooth set up and short time to value.
Supported markets, integrations, and features are continuously expanding.
Retain ownership of your derivative work and study outputs.
Enterprise-level subscription model including unlimited studies.
Considerations for API integrations and third-party tool compatibility.
We’re just getting started with Minerva Interconnect and excited to share more in the coming months. Stay tuned for updates on how Minerva is revolutionizing the interconnection process and powering smarter energy decisions.
