01In brief

The short answer.

Energy Nexus tools are the public technical views the platform releases on energy: maps and model descriptions, each with its time and space reference, sources, licence and uncertainty. Analysis runs in Nexus Foundry for authorized projects, and data that is not released is not available through these pages.

02Canvas

Scoping to review.

Canvas · scoping to reviewDesign, not a record
Data and technical methods: build, test and release in Nexus FoundryA request opens a workspace; data are ingested and validated; the model is built and tested on held-out data; an independent gate approves release with limits; the workspace is stood down and the record kept. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

Digital demand and connectivity in Brazil.

Urban demand centres and the hubs that anchor digital and data infrastructure, shown for Brazil as an example geography for this subject.

05Fitness for purpose

What every energy tool should state about itself.

  • The weather years and demand scenario behind any adequacy figure.
  • Whether a map shows installed capacity or available capacity.
  • The network level shown: transmission, distribution or both.
06Build environment

Working with the tools.

Analysis runs in Nexus Foundry for authorized projects. Public pages show released views only, each with its time and space reference and its rights.

Bring your expertise to this field.

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
