Know per quarter-hour how close you are to your contracted capacity.
Grid congestion turns your connection into a scarce business asset. Capacity analysis shows where your peaks occur, how your capacity is utilised and where risk or headroom sits around contracted capacity and grid capacity.
- Peak moments traced to time and process
- Capacity utilisation per meter
- Risk around contracted capacity made visible
- The foundation for control and flexibility
Add-on
Add-on per meter, on top of the base
Capacity analysis is an extension of Consumption analysis and forms the analytical foundation for Asset Management and Congestion management.
Grip on peaks, capacity and room to grow
The bill is shifting from kWh to capacity. It is not just how much you consume that counts, but above all when your peaks occur and how high they are.
Peak moments in view
You see per quarter-hour when peaks occur and can trace them back to the moment and the process that causes them.
Capacity utilisation
How close are you really to your contracted capacity? The analysis shows utilisation per meter, across the day and the year.
Flagging exceedances
Quarter-hours that exceed the contracted capacity are ones you want to see before the grid operator does. The platform flags them.
Substantiating room for growth
Expanding, electrifying or installing charging points: the analysis shows whether that fits within your current connection.
How it works
From peak to plan
Analyse the profile
Based on quarter-hourly values, the platform builds up your load profile, per meter and per location.
Trace the peaks
Every peak gets context: when, how often, how high and which process sits behind it.
Flatten and utilise
You know which peaks can be shifted and where headroom sits. That is the basis for targeted peak shaving or control.
Where Capacity analysis proves itself
Squeezed on your connection
With congestion, upgrading the connection is often not an option. The analysis shows how much headroom really sits in your profile.
Flattening peaks
Processes starting up simultaneously often cause the highest peak of the day. Tracing them makes targeted spreading possible.
Planning electrification
Heat pumps, charging points or new production lines: with the actual profile as the basis, you plan within the limits of your connection.

Capacity management
What is capacity management? A grip on peaks, contracted capacity and grid capacity
Capacity management is steering on the power you demand at any given moment, rather than only on total consumption. It revolves around peaks: when do they occur, how do they relate to your contracted capacity and grid connection, and what can you shift? On a congested power grid, that increasingly determines whether your organisation can grow.

Grid capacity
How do I stay within my contracted grid capacity?
Staying within contracted grid capacity starts with insight into peak moments, simultaneity and the processes that demand power. With quarter-hour data, alerts and capacity analysis, you see when an overrun threatens and which actions are possible.

Grid congestion
Which grid congestion solution suits my company?
A good grid congestion solution starts with insight into peaks, simultaneity, contracted transport capacity and flexibility. Only then does it become clear whether spreading, smart charging, battery storage, process control, energy hub agreements or contract optimisation is the best route.

Frequently asked questions
How does this differ from Consumption analysis?
Consumption analysis is about how much energy you use. Capacity analysis is about power: how high your peaks are, when they occur and how close you are to your contracted capacity.
Does this help with grid congestion?
Yes. With congestion, insight into your actual utilisation is the first step: there is often more headroom in the profile than expected, and if not, you know what is needed, backed by data.
Can I use this to lower my contracted capacity?
The analysis shows how often and how close you come to your contracted capacity. That turns a conversation about adjusting the contract into a substantiated case instead of guesswork.
What do I need to get started?
Consumption analysis as the base and quarter-hourly data from the meters concerned. You activate the add-on per meter where capacity is an issue.
Combines well with
Base
Consumption analysis
Consumption analysis is the foundation of the COMCAM platform. You see consumption per meter, location, energy carrier and period: from quarter-hourly values to annual trends. A pile of invoices and portals becomes one overview you can act on.
Control add-on
Congestion management
In more and more areas, the grid operator is asking for flexibility. Congestion management deploys your controllable assets on congestion signals and enables compensation for temporary curtailment. Coordination with market parties runs via COMCAM.
