Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, is revolutionizing grid operations with its launch of the One Digital Grid Platform, an integrated and AI-powered platform designed to enhance grid resiliency, reliability and efficiency. This platform provides the data and technical foundation to integrate independent software solutions, enabling utilities to accelerate grid modernization and deliver cleaner, more affordable energy while benefitting from lower total cost of ownership.
One Digital Grid Platform: The Foundation for a More Resilient, Flexible and Secure Grid
Many utilities rely on outdated grid systems without the scalability, automation and integration needed to keep pace with growing electricity demand, more extreme weather events and the rapid expansion of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as rooftop solar, EV charging and battery storage. The One Digital Grid Platform provides the interoperable solution utilities need to accelerate modernization, improve reliability and lower costs by integrating mission-critical software into a secure and scalable ecosystem. The Platform enables real-time insights, predictive analytics and automation to drive efficiency and resiliency across the grid, reduce outages by up to 40%, decrease DER interconnection timelines by 25% and decrease application deployment time by 60%. Schneider’s One Digital Grid Platform will be available to utilities later this year for immediate implementation.
A Holistic Approach to Grid Modernization
The One Digital Grid Platform leverages an innovative hybrid cloud architecture, addressing three core use cases to helping utilities navigate today’s challenges while preparing for the future:
- Grid Planning & Asset Management – Helping utilities optimize infrastructure investments by integrating advanced design, validation and data management tools. This ensures long-term grid reliability while reducing capital and operational costs.
- Grid Operations & Resiliency – Providing real-time and go-forward awareness by leveraging operational and third-party data and utilizing first-party predictive analytics and advanced solutions from industry leaders, like AiDASH, to deeply understand climate risk. These capabilities improve disaster response, maximize efficiency and enhance grid flexibility, even during extreme weather events.
- Grid Flexibility & Customer Engagement – Empowering utilities to seamlessly integrate DERs while enhancing customer experiences. The platform supports a more dynamic, consumer-driven energy ecosystem by streamlining interoperability with solutions from partners like leading prosumer engagement platform provider, Uplight.
The One Digital Grid Platform is built to innovate alongside the energy industry, providing utilities with the flexibility and security needed to adapt to emerging challenges. Leveraging Microsoft Azure, the Platform ensures seamless, end-to-end connectivity while enabling interoperability with external systems for rapid insights and enriched operational capabilities. Its robust, multi-layered cybersecurity measures protect critical infrastructure from evolving threats, while plug-and-play integration simplifies the deployment of new technologies, accelerating time to value.
By providing a holistic, intelligent and secure approach to grid management, Schneider Electric is helping utilities modernize faster, operate more efficiently and transition toward a cleaner, more affordable energy future. To safeguard these innovations, Schneider delivers a significant leap forward in protection and control technology, including:
