The pathway to Net Zero is inevitably evolving distribution grids. As the penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) continues to grow, the distribution grids will become increasingly challenged by intermittent loads and generation connected to low voltage. Continuing operating and designing distribution grids in the traditional way, with largely passive grids boasting high capacity margins will become increasingly costly. The time and effort required to reinforce and expand the grid in traditional ways may also not be able to keep up with the growing demand. However, since the distribution grids are increasingly being digitized the ability to monitor and actively control also low voltage levels is improving fast.
Imagine that the whole electrical ecosystem would work connected as one. An ecosystem where the consumers and prosumers of electricity could contribute not only to the stability of the system, but to integrate more and more renewables.
We call it Plexigrid.
Plexigrid provide solutions that enable Distribution Grid Operators (DSOs) to run their grid more efficiently today and become an active driver of the transformation required to realize the energy transition. We also enable electricity retailers and aggregators to manage DERs and provide energy services to end consumers and DSOs.
Unlike most solutions for distribution grid operation, we have built our applications starting from the low voltage grid. Real time monitoring and control becomes a whole new challenge based on the vast amount of data generated by a digitized distribution grid; from smart meters monitoring individual households, to smart sensors and traditional Scada data.
With the Plexigrid platform, a data-driven way of working becomes available to grid planners, grid operators and flexibility managers.
