Client
Feasibility Study
XENDEE’s Geospatial Information System (GIS) is an immersive user experience that hides complexity and enables new users from business, financial and engineering backgrounds to accurately screen Microgrid investment opportunities in minutes. This also includes a project wizard for rapid setup.
Custom Tailored
Bankability Study
Easily and accurately capture your client’s envisioned benefits from a Microgrid, and confidently deliver the optimal design, financial outcomes and operational solutions that ensure a successful customer journey, and profits from their investment years into the future.
Balance of System
Engineering Analysis
Next-generation Microgrid power system analysis technology and cutting-edge One-Line Diagram modeling helps customers ensure safe and reliable operation, and accurately optimize sizes and costs for cabling, wires, transformers and other Balance of System components which can add up to 30% of a project’s cost.
Implementation Management
Manage the entire Microgrid project delivery process in one interface. XENDEE’s secure cloud-based platform helps you track project status, assets and communications with project managers, contractors, consultants, and construction firms to ensure quality on-budget and timely system deliveries.
University Case Study | UCSD
XENDEE recently launched our new Microgrid Fast Charging Station Designer using data from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) network and Microgrid. This Microgrid provides 85% of campus electrical needs with distributed energy resources, including electricity delivered to 135 ChargePoint EV charging stations. The project itself, in partnership with the University and Idaho National Laboratory, enhanced our platform capabilities to include Microgrid Fast Charging Stations and was another successful on-campus usage of XENDEE.

Major Universities & Research Organizations Already Use XENDEE
Many universities already use XENDEE’s platform in their classrooms to teach students Microgrid Design, Economic Optimization and Simulation. Additionally, XENDEE is currently teaching a remote college course using our platform at the University of California, San Diego.
New users can begin screening Microgrid investment opportunities and business cases in minutes with our easy to use interface. Then, generate and share an initial feasibility study to ensure project viability and excite stakeholders.
Rapidly generate and simulate the economically optimal Microgrid technology investment and sequence of operation control strategies up to 50 years into the future with our patented technology.
XENDEE’s advanced power flow analysis and one line diagram speed up the enginneering process through the use of catalogs and an easy to use interface for rapidly placing components and analyzing their capabilities.
