How to use Energy Analyst
One chat interface. All your energy intelligence needs.
Everything runs through the Chat tab. Just type a question or paste a document — the AI automatically detects what you need and runs the right analysis. No tools to select, no forms to fill.
Paste long content for instant assessment
Any text over 300 characters with contract or TDD language automatically triggers a structured assessment — no need to navigate to a separate tool.
Ask short questions as normal chat
Short questions (under 300 chars) go through the AI chat engine and draw on the full knowledge base of 56 reference books.
Be specific for better answers
Include technology type (solar PV, onshore wind, BESS), region (Vietnam, Philippines), year, and scale (MW). The more specific, the more precise the data.
Follow up in the same thread
After an assessment or answer, ask follow-up questions in the same chat. The AI retains context across the conversation.
What you can ask
Energy Benchmarks & LCOE
Most usedAsk for cost benchmarks, LCOE data, CAPEX/OPEX ranges, capacity factors, and auction prices across technologies and regions. The AI pulls from IRENA, EIA, BNEF, Ember, and other curated sources.
What is the LCOE for utility-scale solar in Vietnam in 2024?
Compare CAPEX for onshore wind vs solar PV in Southeast Asia.
What capacity factor should I use for BESS in the Philippines?
Show me auction prices for solar in India over the last 3 years.
EPC Contract Review
Paste any EPC contract clause — the AI auto-detects it as an EPC document, evaluates it against FIDIC controls (LD caps, payment terms, risk allocation, performance guarantees), and returns structured findings.
Paste Sub-Clause 8.8 of your EPC contract → instant FIDIC compliance check.
Paste your payment milestone schedule → checks CR-001 cross-reference.
Paste your defects liability clause → flags DNP period adequacy.
Ask: "What LD rate is standard for a 100MW solar EPC?"
Technical Due Diligence
Paste TDD document sections for evaluation against IEC standards and performance benchmarks. Auto-detected as TDD content when P50, yield, inverter, or IEC 61724 keywords appear.
Paste your energy yield section → checks P50/P90 methodology.
Paste performance guarantee clause → validates against IEC 61724-2.
Ask: "What PR should I expect for a tracker system in Vietnam?"
Ask: "What does a bankable TDD report require for grid compliance?"
Policy & Regulatory Questions
Ask about feed-in tariffs, auction frameworks, grid codes, permitting processes, and renewable energy policy across Vietnam, Philippines, India, Australia, and other markets.
What is the current solar FIT policy in Vietnam?
Explain the GEAP auction mechanism in the Philippines.
What grid connection requirements apply to large solar in India?
Summarise Australia's Capacity Investment Scheme.
FIDIC & Contract Law
Ask any question about FIDIC contract provisions, good faith obligations, NTP conditions, EOT claims, variation procedures, or dispute resolution. The AI applies FIDIC Yellow Book (2017) and general EPC contract law.
Explain good faith under FIDIC Sub-Clause 1.14.
Can we issue NTP if the contractor hasn't received their local license yet?
What are the grounds for an EOT claim under FIDIC Clause 8.5?
How does the prevention principle apply to employer-caused delays?
IEC Standards & Technical Questions
Ask about IEC, IEEE, and other technical standards relevant to solar, wind, BESS, and grid infrastructure. The AI references IEC 61724, 62446, 61400, 60076, and others.
What does IEC 62446 require for PV system documentation?
Explain the difference between IEC 61724-1 and IEC 61724-2.
What protection relay settings are required for grid-connected BESS?
What IEC standards apply to offshore wind installation?
