Integrations in Aire Labs

Aire Labs isn’t limited to what you build inside the platform. You can connect external models and live data sources so that all your inputs, tools, and calculations work together in one place—with automated updates flowing through your model whenever something upstream changes.

​
External Model Integrations

If your workflow depends on models built in Python, MATLAB, or other environments, those don’t have to live separately. Aire Labs can call external models via API and bring their outputs directly into your project as terms.

​
How It Works

Once an external model is integrated, its outputs become terms in your project like any other. They sit inside blocks, participate in downstream calculations, and update automatically when their inputs change. You define which of your project’s terms feed into the external model, and which outputs come back—Aire Labs handles the handshake. This means a custom degradation curve built in Python, a dispatch optimization model in MATLAB, or a proprietary engineering tool can all participate in the same techno-economic model without manual data transfer or version management.

​
Use Cases

  • Custom performance models: Connect a high-fidelity generation or degradation model built in-house
  • Optimization tools: Integrate dispatch optimization or design tools and have results flow directly into your financial model
  • Proprietary engineering tools: Bring specialized simulation outputs into your TEA without rebuilding the logic in Aire Labs

​
Data Source Connections

Aire Labs can pull live data from external sources directly into your project, so your model always reflects current inputs rather than manually updated snapshots.

​
NREL

Aire Labs integrates with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to pull wind and solar resource data. Provide a location and Aire Labs retrieves the relevant resource data—generation profiles, capacity factors, irradiance—and connects it directly to the corresponding terms in your model. This means your generation assumptions are grounded in real resource data for your specific site without manual data wrangling.

​
EIA

Aire Labs integrates with the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) to pull electricity pricing data. Connect it to your project and pricing assumptions stay current without manual updates.

​
Other Data Sources

Additional data source integrations are developed based on customer requirements. If your workflow depends on a specific external dataset—commodity prices, grid data, or others—the Aire Labs team can scope what an integration would look like.

Getting Set Up

Integrations are configured by the Aire Labs team as part of your project setup. To add an external model or data source connection to your project, contact your Aire Labs project lead.
