More information

From energy flows to load profiles, from return on investment to capital expenditures, grid tariffs to DER, and EV charging requirements. PSS®DE helps you model and understand all factors shaping your energy transition in one fast, powerful, and accurate simulation tool.

Reach your goal in three steps

 
Create an actionable plan for moving toward net-zero based on your on-site energy system

Phase 1 – Concept

With PSS®DE, you create an unbiased, vendor-neutral decarbonization roadmap of best-case scenarios in terms of cost, return, and reduction of CO2 emissions. You define time series, such as loads, energy tariffs, solar, irradiation, and wind. Then, you add your assets of choice with efficiencies, costs, and MW range parameters, from EV chargers to solar, from storage to heat pumps. Finally, you define your net-zero targets and set financial limits.

Based on your input and a comprehensive asset library, PSS®DE creates optimized, actionable scenarios for you to explore.

You know where you stand, from options to best economic choices

Phase 2 - Planning

 

Based on your chosen scenarios, PSS®DE supports a deep dive into defined assets from high-level down to granular. You can compare different inputs, variations of technical or financial parameters, limits, and timelines. PSS®DE provides robust default values. Updating inputs as the project progresses, you ensure your simulation gains accuracy, evolving into a detailed twin of your future energy system.

Results from PSS®DE allow you to evaluate the economic, technical, and environmental performance of possible energy systems and make investment decisions based on quantified results.

 
Keeping it real: What you plan is what you get

Phase 3 – Operation

PSS®DE works hand in hand with Siemens’ Grid Edge SaaS portfolio to maximize value in the decarbonization journey with DERs and EV charging. This cloud-based software empowers you to monitor and optimize the generation and consumption of all your decentralized energy assets and realize additional profit pools over the years.
