Problem
Electric utilities face challenges in optimizing the performance of their distribution networks due to increasing complexity, the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), and the need for improved demand management. Traditional grid management systems often lack the real-time visibility and control needed to efficiently manage these resources and ensure grid stability.
Solution
Connected Energy provides a suite of smart grid solutions that enable electric utilities to enhance distribution automation from substations to customer premises. The platform integrates demand management, DER management, and data analytics to improve the financial, operational, and environmental performance of electrical networks. By coordinating capacity and load at the edge of the network, the solution allows utilities to meet reliability and efficiency requirements while maximizing the value of DER components. The data analytics component provides visualization and analysis capabilities tailored to the needs of modern electric utilities, enabling them to identify demand response opportunities, predict load curves, and monitor DER assets.
Target Audience
The primary customers are electric utilities seeking to improve the efficiency, reliability, and financial performance of their distribution networks through advanced automation and integrated management of demand and distributed energy resources.
