Next Generation Power Grids

next-generation-

The grid is being rebuilt for a decarbonized world. We help the companies building it develop the software to make it work.

The transmission and distribution grid is expanding at an unprecedented rate — driven by the urgent need to decarbonize energy systems, integrate renewables at scale, and maintain security of supply. It is the backbone of the energy transition, and it is under more pressure than at any point in its history.
What's emerging isn't just an upgraded version of the old grid. It's a fundamentally different infrastructure — digital by nature, decentralized by design, and increasingly autonomous. Utilities, grid operators, and technology vendors are navigating a transformation that touches every layer of the power system, from high-voltage substations to distributed energy resources at the edge.

THE SHIFT UNDERWAY

Several converging forces are reshaping how T&D grids are built and operated:

Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS) and Advanced Energy Management Systems (AEMS) — incorporating Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) and asset performance management — are enabling grid operators to optimize asset use at much higher levels of renewable and DER penetration. Flexibility management of loads and distributed generation is helping curb the infrastructure build-up requirements that would otherwise be needed to meet peak demand.

Software-defined digital substations are bringing a new level of flexibility and cybersecurity into grid infrastructure — replacing proprietary hardware with programmable, interoperable systems that can be updated and adapted as requirements evolve.

Fully autonomous microgrids are becoming an integral part of the power system, enabling communities, industrial sites, and critical facilities to operate independently or in coordination with the wider grid. The power system is progressively shifting from a centralized model into a grid of grids.

Getting value from data — and transitioning to agile operating models — is transforming how every player across the value chain operates, in a system that is no longer under the sole responsibility of utilities.

  • What we deliver

    We support utilities, grid operators, OEMs, and technology vendors across the full software development lifecycle for next-generation grid solutions:

    ADMS & AEMS Development Design and development of advanced distribution and energy management systems, incorporating DERMS and asset performance management capabilities for high-DER environments.

    Digital Substation Software Software solutions for software-defined digital substations — enabling flexible, cybersecure, and interoperable grid infrastructure aligned with IEC 61850 and related standards.

    Flexibility & DERMS Platforms

    Development of flexibility management platforms for loads and distributed generation, supporting grid operators in optimizing assets and deferring costly infrastructure investment.

    Microgrid & Edge Solutions

    Software for autonomous and grid-connected microgrids — including energy management, control systems, and integration with the broader distribution network.

    Data & Interoperability

    Solutions built around open data standards and semantic interoperability frameworks — including CIM and IEC 61850 — enabling grid operators to extract value from operational data and integrate across the value chain.

    Cybersecurity for OT/IT Convergence

    As grids become more connected, the attack surface expands. We deliver cybersecure development aligned with IEC 62443, IEC 62351, and NERC CIP — building security in from the ground up.
