Integrated Energy Development Process

Site Prospecting

↑ Back to timeline

The prospection of a project development site originates from a strategic, technical and financial analysis that will find an optimized location that not only takes advantage of the resource potential but presents a project development that meets strategically established financial, time and safety return requirements.

By creating a weighting matrix that considers all site risks and opportunities, the uncertainties associated with the resource and project development are diminished.

With the advent of green hydrogen projects, and energy being the primary resource for the materialization of the projects, we have carried out solar and wind prospecting studies with the objective of obtaining the energy required for the optimal use of the assets used in the transformation of energy into H2V.

Regional Prospecting Studies

We conduct an exhaustive analysis of different regions to identify those that present the most favorable conditions for the development of renewable energy projects. We evaluate factors such as available wind or solar resources, existing infrastructure, regulatory framework, land availability and socio-environmental aspects.

Creation of resource maps

Resource mappingWe create detailed maps depicting the spatial distribution of the wind or solar resource in the regions of interest. These maps are generated from satellite data, climate models and on-site measurement campaigns, and allow us to identify the areas with the greatest potential for renewable energy generation.

Site classification

We rank potential sites according to technical, economic and environmental criteria, assigning a score to each. This ranking allows us to prioritize the most attractive sites for project development and to concentrate our efforts on those that offer the best prospects for success.

Risk Analysis or “Red Flag” of the site

We identify and assess the potential risks associated with each site, such as the occurrence of extreme natural events, the presence of environmental constraints, or opposition from local communities. This analysis allows us to make informed decisions and mitigate potential risks.

Creation of Weighting Matrix between different sites

We developed a weighting matrix that assigns a weight to each of the evaluation criteria used to rank the sites. This matrix allows us to objectively compare the different sites and select those that best fit the project objectives.

Prospective studies for hybrid projects (solar and wind)

We conduct specific studies to identify sites with good potential for both solar and wind energy generation. We evaluate the complementarity of both resources and analyze the possibility of developing hybrid projects to maximize renewable energy production and reduce generation variability.

Mapping of compatibility with production patterns for hybrid projects (solar and wind).

Energy storage has emerged as a strategic response to the systemic challenges faced by modern electrical grids.

In Chile and around the world, renewable energy generation has grown at an accelerated pace, often outpacing the transmission capacity of electrical grids. This imbalance leads to challenges such as energy curtailment, where a portion of the electricity generated cannot be efficiently used or distributed.

In this context, energy storage systems—particularly Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)—offer a comprehensive solution. These systems not only enable the storage of excess energy for later use but also enhance grid stability and efficiency. Additionally, they provide essential services such as voltage and frequency regulation, made possible by the power electronics in bidirectional inverters.

At Anabática, we recognize the importance of this technology and have developed our own analysis tool, specifically designed to support precise planning, development, and decision-making in BESS projects. Below, we outline the main areas of work we offer related to these systems.

CAPEX Estimate

One of the most critical challenges in any storage project is accurately estimating investment costs. In this regard, Anabática offers a CAPEX estimation service for BESS projects, based on a thorough analysis of suppliers, components, and market trends.

Our approach considers both direct costs—such as battery and inverter procurement—and indirect costs related to installation, maintenance, and system operation over its entire lifespan. This allows us to provide our clients with a clear, market-aligned perspective that supports informed and strategic investment decisions.

Sizing of BESS Systems

At Anabática, we have developed an advanced tool for sizing both standalone BESS systems and hybrid systems integrated with renewable plants (solar, wind, etc.), whether grid-coupled or off-grid.

This software performs hourly simulations over the entire project lifespan, taking into account multiple variables, such as:

  • Energy market prices

  • BESS system capacity

  • Technical constraints of the system and the grid

  • Tax benefits and incentive schemes

This detailed approach ensures that the simulated system behavior is as realistic as possible, providing an accurate economic assessment for each project configuration. Users can identify the optimal configuration in terms of size, capacity, and return on investment, considering all relevant technical and economic assumptions. This not only optimizes system performance but also enhances long-term profitability.

The result is a report with a dashboard of iterations, delivering not only the best sizing option but also the optimal dispatch strategy along with key financial and economic KPIs.

Regulatory Consulting

In the field of energy storage, regulations are constantly being created and updated, making regulatory compliance essential to ensure the viability and success of projects. Anabática has a specialized team that provides expert guidance on current regulations related to BESS systems.

Our advisory service covers all regulatory and compliance aspects that impact energy storage projects, helping our clients meet legal, technical, and safety requirements. This service not only facilitates permit acquisition and project implementation within established timelines, but also enables our clients to optimize their projects in line with industry best practices.
