With decades of experience in predicting and optimizing utility-scale projects—and having served as technical advisor for many gigawatts of installed capacity—Matt Hendrickson and his associates offer the confidence that comes from deep expertise. The complexity of weather, evolving technologies, and the sheer scale of modern projects demand constant diligence and adaptive thinking. Our approach balances the scientific rigor of continuous questioning with the robust processes and quality standards that investors expect. We combine this with flexibility and quick turnaround times, ensuring our clients have the best possible information—before they need it—to support confident, well-informed decisions.
Integrity and experience guide our approach. In the high-pressure world of deals and development, it’s easy to be swept up in commercial optimism—a known contributor to past project underperformance. Many years ago, a wise CEO gave Matt a charter to be an independent voice, immune to such pressure, a principle he has passed on to every team he’s led. Our collective background—developing projects, working in science-based consultancies, and advising investors—has instilled the value of creative problem-solving, respect for technical detail, and the importance of clarity in communication.
Hendrickson has developed a cloud-based, time-domain modeling platform for hybrid energy projects that captures the real complexity of batteries—state dependence, degradation, and dispatch uncertainty—while running at scale and speed. Built on high-quality weather simulations, a smart BMS emulator, and an efficient nodal model, it can simulate a full 25-year plant lifecycle in about a minute and run tens of thousands of cases simultaneously. This enables developers and investors to move beyond limited “what-if” scenarios and make more accurate, bankable decisions about sizing, augmentation, and long-term performance.
The model is a full time-domain simulator that runs every hour (or sub-hour) across a project’s entire 25+ year lifetime, rather than compressing data into a single “average” year. This means one scenario can involve millions of forecast operations, capturing the true interaction of solar, wind, storage, hardware limits, degradation, and market conditions as they evolve over decades. By reflecting real operational dynamics year after year, the platform shows not just how a system performs on day one, but how it earns and operates throughout its entire life.
We are proud to showcase a demo project that puts our platform to the test: finding the optimal mix of PV and storage to deliver 300 MW of firm power during peak demand hours. By scaling PV up to 400 MW and batteries up to 1,500 MWh—with grid charging and extended dispatch flexibility—we capture the real dynamics of meeting firm commitments. This simple but powerful example highlights the technical depth of our simulator and the confidence it gives developers and investors in making bankable decisions.
