###### 01

###### Create a Model

Begin a new model by inputting energy requirements, existing technology data, and constraints, or input a model from Xendee DISCOVER.

![01](https://xendee.com/hs-fs/hubfs/01.png?width=88&height=88&name=01.png)

###### 02

###### Define Strategy

Select goals such as cost reduction, carbon reduction, resiliency, or losses in the electrical system and let Xendee automatically find the best solutions for you.

![Strategy](https://xendee.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Strategy.png?width=88&height=88&name=Strategy.png)

###### 03

###### View Report & Financial Analysis

Explore the optimal mix and size of technology for your EV or microgrid infrastructure, check the balance of system costs, and create detailed financial and technical reports.

![03](https://xendee.com/hs-fs/hubfs/03.png?width=88&height=88&name=03.png)

### Powerflow and Distribution System Modeling in Hours – Not Months

Create reliable and optimal models of your cables and transformers in combination with your Distributed Energy Resources – and in record time. Conceptual designs in hours instead of months. Engineering design in days compared to months with the traditional approach.

 

![design-powerflow-700x655](https://xendee.com/hs-fs/hubfs/design-powerflow-700x655.png?width=700&height=655&name=design-powerflow-700x655.png)

### Easily Integrate with Existing Data Sources & Tools

APIs allow direct data transfer to Xendee for a large number of sensitivity runs or projects.

- Built-in catalogs for technologies.
- APIs that import site-specific information (weather data, solar radiation, wind speed, marginal emissions, utility tariffs) automatically or in 2-3 mouse-clicks.
- Multiple ways to bring in load data and/or manipulate load shapes from a built-in library.

![design-integration-700x655](https://xendee.com/hs-fs/hubfs/design-integration-700x655.png?width=700&height=655&name=design-integration-700x655.png)

### Bankable Energy Models & Projections You Can Trust

Traditional approaches are cumbersome and prone to manual mistakes, resulting in low confidence in the result.

Xendee’s algorithm and standardized process are peer-reviewed and research-based, and will optimize for the lowest cost.

![design-projections-700x655-v2](https://xendee.com/hs-fs/hubfs/design-projections-700x655-v2.png?width=700&height=655&name=design-projections-700x655-v2.png)

### Electric & Thermal Modeling Supported

Xendee DESIGN supports 25+ technologies such as electric vehicles, cold storage, CHP, batteries and PV systems, in combination with eight different energy domains like electricity, heating, cooling, domestic hot water, natural gas, biogas, biomass, and hydrogen, all in one design system.

All of these technologies can be easily optimized up to 50 years into the future in a multi-year setup, including controller dispatch.

Optimal solutions can be analyzed with Time Series simulation, short circuit analysis, and automatic transformer and cable sizing.

For support in modeling these technologies, Xendee provides [modeling services](https://xendee.com/modeling-services?hsLang=en) to its licensees to help augment the capabilities of your team. 

![design-technologies](https://xendee.com/hs-fs/hubfs/design-technologies.jpeg?width=384&height=512&name=design-technologies.jpeg)

###### Cloud-based

Access all of your projects from anywhere, on any device, and share them with your team to collaborate and receive important platform updates.

![Cloud-Control\_white](https://xendee.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Cloud-Control_white.png?width=88&height=88&name=Cloud-Control_white.png)

###### Cybersecurity
