Siemens has announced the launch of Gridscale X, a grid management solution that paves the way towards the company’s vision of an autonomous electrical grid and accelerates the speed and scale of digital transformation for grid operators.

Grid Management Solution

With Gridscale X, Siemens provides a suite of modular software to support utilities to tackle their automation and energy transition challenges. The suite of software solutions enables grid operators to quickly scale grid capacity, manage the complexity of distributed energy resources, and increase grid flexibility with easily deployed software that integrates quickly into existing IT and environments. Gridscale X represents a new generation of grid management solutions that add increased value to new and existing users through planning, operations, and maintenance.

Grid requirements are changing tremendously, driven by a significant increase in distributed energy resources and putting enormous pressure on power utilities. The Gridscale X solution portfolio enables grid operators to rethink grid management, increase capacity, maintain stability, and leverage distributed energy resources to improve performance.

Gridscale X is a part of Siemens Xcelerator, the company’s business platform for digital transformation solutions that integrates the company’s broad product portfolio with an open partner ecosystem that can adapt to the growing needs of industry. Gridscale X software is developed with the core design principles of interoperability, flexibility, openness, availability as a service, and cybersecurity.

Siemens also announced two new Gridscale X software products, building on their comprehensive grid software portfolio. DER Insights enables utilities to protect critical infrastructure by gaining better insights into what is happening behind the meter, and how these resources impact grid equipment. Network Model Manager is a network model management app and data repository that supports operators with more efficient grid planning, development, and operations.
