Hybrid Intelligence
Hybrid Intelligence is East-West Digital's cloud engine for sizing and investment decisions on batteries, hybrid renewables and microgrids, returning the best performing configurations with technical and financial KPIs.
Outcomes
60%+ less engineering time per project with feasibility studies
At least 10% annual revenue uplift per project from better sizing on average
4 fewer external studies per project, on average
The challenge
Spreadsheets can't size a hybrid plant
Battery and hybrid projects are often evaluated with spreadsheets, models built for a single project and external studies. Assumptions drift, options are hard to compare and the business case arrives late.
What it does
Evaluations on schedule
Dashboards and automated reporting help you avoid missing evaluation timelines.
Capacity sized right
Get the right battery and renewable capacity for each market and site.
Analysis ready for decisions
Reports generated by AI give internal reviews and customer proposals the analysis they need.
Pure software
It runs entirely in the cloud, with no hardware or sensors to install on site.
Comparable financial measures
Every option is compared on the same terms, using NPV, IRR and payback.
Expertise that builds
Consistent assumptions and a central record of runs help your team learn from every project.
How it works
Hybrid Intelligence connects project definition, assumptions, optimisation, scenario comparison, financial evaluation and reporting in one guided cloud workflow.
Step 1
Set up your project
Enter site, load, tariff, technical and financial assumptions in one structured workspace.
Step 2
Optimise and compare
The engine sizes battery and renewable capacity and compares feasible system configurations and operating scenarios side by side.
Step 3
See the financials
Technical results become comparable metrics for NPV, IRR, payback, capital and operating costs, LCOE (levelised cost of energy) and LCOS (levelised cost of storage).
Step 4
Decide and share
Review the configurations that perform best in the dashboard, then download reports ready for customers, internal reviews, proposals and investment decisions.
Use case · Representative value model
Community electrification off the grid
Designing an efficient hybrid microgrid, combining solar, battery storage and diesel, to power rural villages with no grid connection.
- For
- NGOs and government agencies
- System
- Solar, battery and diesel
- Goal
- Power around the clock
Less diesel dependency
The design cuts reliance on expensive diesel generators with high emissions.
More renewable energy used
The community captures and uses as much of its solar and wind generation as possible.
Reliability around the clock
The system is sized to deliver continuous, uninterrupted power to the community.
Who it's for
- Renewable and storage project developers
- Utilities
- Energy service companies (ESCOs)
- Commercial and industrial energy users
- Battery and hybrid asset owners
How to start
- 1
Discovery
We learn how your team evaluates projects today and agree which studies a pilot should cover.
- 2
Pilot
We validate your data, guide the setup and run scenarios on your own projects, then evaluate the results with you.
- 3
Subscription
Your team runs feasibility and sizing studies on its own, with consistent assumptions and a growing record of past runs.
Frequently asked questions
What does Hybrid Intelligence help us decide?
Hybrid Intelligence helps you decide what to build, how to size it and which scenario performs best. It covers standalone battery storage, hybrid solar PV and wind plus storage, microgrids and peak shaving (reducing a site's highest demand peaks), and turns each option into comparable financial results and reports ready to share with customers.
Which financial metrics does Hybrid Intelligence report?
Hybrid Intelligence evaluates each configuration on NPV (net present value), IRR (internal rate of return), payback, capital and operating costs, LCOE (levelised cost of energy) and LCOS (levelised cost of storage). Results appear in dashboards and downloadable reports for internal reviews, customer proposals and investment decisions.
Do we need to install hardware or sensors?
No. Hybrid Intelligence is pure software delivered from the cloud, with no hardware or sensors to install on site. You work from project data such as site, load, tariff, technical, market and financial assumptions.
Does Hybrid Intelligence guarantee project returns?
No. Hybrid Intelligence is decision support, not a guarantee of project returns, approvals or operational performance. Its value lies in comparing options consistently so you can judge whether a project is attractive enough to progress.
How do we get started with Hybrid Intelligence?
You start with a guided pilot on your own projects. We validate your data, set up the workspace with you, run scenarios and evaluate the results together. If the pilot meets your needs, your team moves to a subscription and runs studies independently.
