Generation, Storage, Consumption

Quintrace uses real time hourly data to quantify carbon impact of different assets and electricity consuming facilities

Carbon Calculations

Quintrace uses the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and emerging standards such as EnergyTag to calculate carbon emissions for energy projects.

  • User can select across standards

  • Avoided emissions are reported in terms of avoided CO2e, and in equivalents (cars and trees)

  • Project emissions shows total project emissions, and Investment Impact shows effect of
    asset ownership

  • Emissions are calculated hourly based on meter data and hourly grid carbon intensity.

Interactive Dashboards

Real time dashboards showing energy flows across assets

  • View flows including onsite generation, grid consumption, batteries, and site load.

Quantify carbon impact of batteries

Quintrace’s Battery Module simplifies quantifying the carbon impact of your batteries by automating insights across:

  • Consumption: Calculates the embedded carbon emissions due to battery charging – including hourly data from grid power, onsite renewables, PPAs, and certificates.

  • Discharge: Applies latest allocation methods to discharges to quantify the carbon impact of discharges versus hourly grid carbon intensity.

  • Carbon Markets: Prepares batteries for the future when storage assets can participate in carbon markets. The platform aligns charge and discharge records so that batteries can participate in these upcoming value streams.

Manage Power Purchase Agreements

Quintrace empowers users to simplify implementation of power purchase agreements (PPAs) of various types, including As Generated, As Consumed, and As Contracted (custom or fixed quantity). Users can implement annual or hourly matching, and stay compliant with consumption and generation limits while effortlessly allocating bundled certificates from organizations to sites.

  • See real time impact of PPAs

  • Implement annual or hourly matching to stay compliant with PPA limits

  • Automate certificate settlements with registries

Simulate potential carbon impact of a facility

In the Quintrace simulation module users can visualize the carbon impact of investment decisions as a simulation. Examples include adding a battery to a site with onsite solar generation, or adding onsite solar generation to a site with grid consumption.

  • Determine carbon impact of asset investments prior to committing

  • Determine number of annual certificates or hourly certificate profile needed to reach renewable or carbon intensity goals
