Simulating and management of the Grid Edge

Smart Grid 

x-EM is the solution for Commercial & Industrial prosumers (C&I) Balance Service Providers (BSP) and Distributor System Operators (DSO) for the simulation and management of the Grid Edge.

x-EM supports BSP and C&I for the plan and management of microgrid portfolio on the local DSO node.

The cross–industry digital energy solution

x-EM flexibility & capacity management for
Demand Response services

x-EM is a Software as a Service (SaaS) service that introduce intelligence in the  management of the Grid Edge, improving resilience and stability of the grid.

x-EM coordinates the generation, storage and consumption of electric energy, optimizing infrastructure maintenance.

Benefits for Grid Edge players

SMART & Micro GRID

Simulator

Identify the best local grid node design, taking into account the local energy sources availability and maximising the sustainability, scalability, and stability of the smart/micro grid.

The main outcomes are the simulation of the different scenarios related to the renewable energy and e-Mobility local grid virtual aggregation sizing & design of all the components (e.g. renewables, storage systems etc) and the trends and analysis of generation and consumption.

 

  • !Features
  • Consumption and loads estimation
  • 0Renewables (solar, wind) and storage optimal sizing
  • Optimal Charging Point (CP) station planner covering different information layers
  • !Benefits
  • Optimize the investment in smart grid development
  • Optimize the coupling of renewables plants with storage systems
  • Optimize the impact of CP on distribution grid

SMART & Micro GRID

Manager

The Smart & Micro Grid Manager supports to optimize the management of the grid, balancing possible overloads and/or peaks, by the prediction of the behaviour of all its components, including the end users. x-EM offers to C&I, BSP and DSO flexibility and capacity demand-response services, by the smart-charging of EVs and the forecast of possible consumption warning due to overloading or unbalancing issues. The services provides the users an interactive map view, which the actual and forecast total loads and generations for relevant areas, and a ticketing service to support operator’s decision.

  • !Features
  • Consumptions & generation real-time management
  • 1Local node congestions management
  • sForecasted overloads/unbalances node warnings
  • Prioritization of critical events
  • !Benefits
  • 0Remuneration of flexibility and capacity provided to the grid
  • Load shifting and peak shaving (for DSO)
  • Reduction of grid infrastructure investments (for DSO)
