Offerings Products & Services
Artelys Crystal Energy Explorer
Interactive digital twin for simulating and communicating energy network challenges. Used for training, stakeholder consultation, and illustrating grid management issues with step-by-step tutorials and multi-energy scenarios.
Artelys Crystal City
Decision support tool for territorial energy planning. It enables modeling of multi-energy systems at cadastral granularity, simulation of action scenarios, and evaluation of energy transition strategies (e.g., PCAET tracking). Used by metropolitan areas like Lyon and Grenoble.
Artelys Knitro
Solver for nonlinear optimization problems, supporting large-scale, mixed-integer nonlinear programming. Offers multiple algorithms (interior-point, active-set), complementarity constraints, and multi-start global optimization. Integrates with AI and modeling tools.
Artelys Crystal Energy Planner
Operational management software for short- and medium-term optimization of energy production assets. Includes forecasting, unit commitment, and dispatch across generation, storage, and markets. Deployed by utilities and TSOs.
Artelys Crystal Super Grid
Web-based multi-energy planning platform for interconnected systems. Supports operational simulation, capacity expansion planning, and what-if analysis for electricity, gas, heat, hydrogen. Used by European Commission for METIS model.
Case StudiesReferences & Success Stories
Artelys compared the compensation mechanisms available for hydropower across global electricity markets in collaboration with CEATI
Artelys issued a report for CEATI providing a benchmark of compensation mechanisms for hydropower assets across electricity markets in North America, Europe, and beyond. The study includes a Data Explorer tool aggregating granular pricing and energy data to compare revenue streams and market design philosophies.
Quantifying Gas storage Needs for a Resilient and Integrated European Energy System
Together with Compass Lexecon, Artelys assessed underground gas storage role in European security of supply for Gas Infrastructure Europe. The analysis, using Artelys Crystal Super Grid, models interdependencies between methane, electricity, and hydrogen systems at hourly resolution across Europe.
Study on the relevance of a balanced residential heat production mix incorporating more green gas and hybrid solutions
Artelys supported Coénove in analyzing a balanced residential heat mix in France by 2030, using Artelys Crystal Super Grid to model heat demand and electricity supply‑demand. The study found that a balanced scenario with hybrid heat pumps and biomethane reduces flexibility needs at lower community cost.
Boosting electrification in Europe
Artelys quantified costs and benefits of an ambitious electrification scenario for 2040 on behalf of Strategic Perspectives, focusing on heat pumps, electric vehicles, and low-carbon steel. The analysis shows that fossil fuel import savings exceed the additional investments required in technologies and the power system.
Swissgrid sélectionne Artelys Crystal Super Grid
Swissgrid, the Swiss transmission system operator, selected Artelys Crystal Super Grid for on‑site deployment to carry out strategic planning and power system analysis. The solution enables detailed modeling of interconnected energy systems, supporting studies such as adequacy assessments and interconnection benefit evaluations.
