Made for People
Pushing the Grid Forward
Minerva Interconnect™ is a cloud-based SaaS platform that streamlines and automates power grid interconnection studies. At its core is a powerful Model On Demand (MOD) engine that enables users to build up-to-date study models in real time—incorporating the latest queue changes and transmission projects—rather than relying only on static utility or ISO models. With advanced modeling capabilities, automated study execution, and seamless integration with industry-standard tools like TARA and Plexos, Minerva empowers utilities, developers, and consultants to run faster, more transparent, and more accurate interconnection studies.
POI Searching is Done.
The Grid Needs
Creative Engineering.
The world of interconnection is evolving fast. Energy demand is skyrocketing. Queues are backed up. Regulatory complexity is compounding. A map color-coded with basic injection capacity checks doesn’t cut it anymore.
To connect today and tomorrow, we need better approaches. Ones driven by engineers bold enough to think differently. That’s where Minerva Interconnect™ comes in.
We built it not to sideline engineers, but to amplify them. Minerva provides the tools, transparency, and speed to assess feasibility, collaborate more effectively, and shape the grid of the future.
Cut wasted effort, speed interconnection studies, and deliver transparent results—powered by Minerva.
Minerva Interconnect is designed to help utilities and developers accelerate interconnection studies, streamline planning, and deliver transparent, data-backed decisions. Built on a structured Project Data Module foundation, Minerva ensures every study is flexible, traceable, and defensible from the ground up.
Large-Area Hosting Capacity Analysis
Run wide-scale screenings to quickly identify “clean injection” zones where new generation can connect without triggering costly upgrades. Focus your engineering time where it matters most.
Contingency and Resilience Planning
Simulate “what-if” scenarios—such as withdrawal of prior queued project—and see how capacity shifts. Plan your projects with clear, actionable data.
Fast Pre-Screening for Interconnection Requests
Quickly check incoming proposals against available capacity before assigning them to full studies. Eliminate wasted effort on non-viable projects and respond to developers faster.
Cluster Study Management
Evaluate multiple interconnection requests at once in line with FERC Order 2023. Model combined impacts, assess shared constraints, and avoid redundant work.
Transparent Stakeholder Communication
Show regulators, developers, and communities exactly how your conclusions were reached. Minerva’s clear visualizations and surfaced assumptions help build trust and speed approvals.
Structured Project Data & Model Integrity
Define, refine, and manage project modeling details in one unified environment. Minerva’s Project Data Module (PDM) keeps assumptions, injection parameters, topology changes, and study inputs organized, traceable, and quality-controlled so engineers gain flexibility without compromising data integrity.
What Makes Minerva Different
Unlimited Projects and Studies.
Rapid Insight.
Smarter, Not Just Faster.
Transparent by Design.
Minerva Features
From Market-Wide Views to Precise Injection Modeling
Build Models Your Way
Quickly include or exclude projects with simple table toggles, filters, and dropdowns—no need to rebuild your model from scratch.
Switch Markets in Seconds
Move seamlessly between markets like MISO and SPP, with instant updates to results and study data.
Full Control, Full Transparency
Fine-tune every aspect of your study—base model, modeling type, and TARA settings—with complete visibility into how results are generated.
Choose the Right Study
Run both Injection and Screening studies in a single platform, so you always have the right analysis for the job.
Screen the Entire Network for Capacities
Define your scope in minutes and launch screening studies with a clear, guided workflow that covers the full network.
See Costs at a Glance
Visualize upgrade costs with clear cost curves, so you can spot thresholds and tradeoffs at a glance.
Seamlessly Connect to Plexos
Export your study models directly into Plexos with one click, making it easy to integrate studies into broader planning workflows.
Prioritize by Impact
Minerva ranks projects by electrical distance, putting the most impactful ones at the top. Easily identify which prior-queue projects matter most for your study results.
