Encast is the result of many years of learning and understanding the needs of the energy industry, planning and modelling systems and ecosystems and learning from industries needs around the world.
Our complex demand-side modelling and forecasting is used both during planning and after installation. Encast is designed to ensure you maximise the return on your investment throughout the decades of operation and is not just a spreadsheet to raise financing.
Encast is a multi-technology energy modelling tool that is specifically designed to manage the balance between energy resilience and financial capacity. Acting as a digital twin before being shovel ready. We are a reliable tool to verify real-world performance, using peer reviewed research. Our goal is to lower the time and resources required to manage energy costs and reliability to make it accessible to everyone.
The platform was developed because we believe there is a significant gap in the market. It is well documented that grid supplies around the world are strained and forcing commercial & industrial businesses to manage their own energy cost & resilience to be sure of future supply and to prevent escalating costs. As this transfer of responsibility occurs, we believe a significant part of grid power will be derived from surplus commercial & industrial sources.
Encast performs real-time processing of complex energy requirements for industrial & commercial locations from the demand side. We help complex power users model themselves in detail to allow knowledge of how they can function with the grid. Demand side generation is increasingly becoming a viable and reliable profitable model for business to provide to the grid as well as manage their own energy resilience & costs. Bringing control back to the commercial & industrial markets and away from unpredictable and expensive supply-side providers.
Current modelling solutions are mostly built from mathematical perfection, deciding the best way to optimise power requirements is through mixed-linear averaging or estimated forecast data. This might help to raise project financing, however, a mathematical problem doesn't create a solution that works with the lifespan of a project over decades. Encast offers iterative approach to optimisation rather than mathematical approach to ensure each time period is calculated and presented for analysis.
Our default frame rate of 30 minutes can be altered down to as low as 5 minute intervals and allows a granular analysis of all energy and heat systems on each frame if needed. Allowing the development of a digital twin before being shovel ready, developing into an on-going monitoring and forecasting optimisation tool once operational.
Our modelling solution is fast, effective and designed to be a constant tool you use throughout the 30+ year lifespan of your project.
This section is to help you make a decision to see if Encast is the correct energy modelling platform for you. Energy systems are integral to almost all industries as well as it being it's own industry. So this section should help you clarify why and when we are important:
Energy modelling has many different sides to it and so we believe its useful to make it clear what systems we currently do not service.
