Technical planning workspace

Work from evidence, one system at a time.

For project teams that already have site values or controlled documents. The Lab covers EV charging, battery storage, smart water metering and AMI pilots. Choose one workspace, record what is known, and expose what still needs verification.

TECHNICAL MODE

One technical workspace at a time.

Choose the project you are working on. Your entries remain saved on this device while you move between tools.

Tool 01EV charging

Site demand and preliminary headroom.

Test connected demand, managed simultaneity and site-value evidence maturity. This does not replace interval-load analysis or electrical design.

Charger quantity, rating and simultaneity start with example values (10 chargers, 60 kW, 50%). Replace them with your own project values.

SITE-VALUE EVIDENCE MATURITY

Entering a number does not verify it. Record the controlling evidence for both site values.

Choose the strongest statement you can support today.

Read from 1 to 4 and choose the furthest statement you can honestly support. If you are unsure, keep the first answer.

  1. 1I don't have this yetNot availableNo usable evidence is currently available.
  2. 2I know what to request or who may have itIdentifiedThe requirement is known, but no controlled record is available.
  3. 3I have a current record or datasetDocumentedA current document or dataset is available for review.
  4. 4I checked the record, source and revisionVerifiedThe source and revision have been checked.
01Existing site peak demand

Recorded as Not available: No usable evidence is currently available.

Help me find and verify this
What this means
The highest power demand the whole site recently reached, not its monthly energy use.
Where to find it
Ask the facilities or electrical team for interval-load data, a demand bill or a recent monitoring report.
Call it verified when
The value matches the correct site, a recent operating period and its named source.
02Available site capacity

Recorded as Not available: No usable evidence is currently available.

Help me find and verify this
What this means
The capacity that may remain for new load after the site’s present demand and known limits are considered.
Where to find it
Ask the electrical owner for the current single-line diagram, service or transformer record, and any utility confirmation.
Call it verified when
The responsible electrical owner has checked the value, equipment or service limit, site and revision.

Metering and electrical requirements still have a clear next step.

From input to action

A result that explains itself.

The Lab returns a usable preliminary conclusion, not a product recommendation, final design or approval.
