Xendee DESIGN is a cloud-based software platform that enables users to model, engineer, and optimize microgrid and distributed energy resource (DER) systems. The platform supports over 25 DER technologies—including electric vehicles, batteries, PV, CHP, and cold storage—and allows for rapid conceptual and engineering design, reducing project timelines from months to hours or days. Users can input energy requirements, technology data, and constraints, or import models from other Xendee modules. DESIGN automates the selection and sizing of technologies based on user-defined goals such as cost reduction, carbon reduction, or resilience, and generates detailed technical and financial reports. The platform integrates with external data sources via APIs, automatically importing site-specific information like weather, utility tariffs, and load profiles. Xendee DESIGN also incorporates advanced powerflow and distribution system modeling, enabling reliable and optimal infrastructure planning for both grid-connected and islanded systems.
