"The power industry is rapidly evolving and requiring utilities to capture real-time insights from grid operations, including distributed energy resources (DER)," said Michael Covarrubias, director of market strategy and solutions at Xtensible. "Collaborating with Open Grid Systems will offer utilities a comprehensive, one-stop shop for integration needs and solutions, and provide a standards-based foundation for enterprise analytics for grid operations to support the utility of the future."
Open Grid Systems offers a suite of flexible, standards-based products designed for utility workers to collect, manage, access and visualize critical grid information, including consolidated geographic information systems (GIS), network and asset health data. The company's product suite includes the Cimphony and Grid suite of desktop, server and mobile applications, which support a centralized logic model of the network, with independent services including data management, data validation, model-driven data transformation, schematic visualization, open application interfaces, network editing and more.
Through this agreement, Xtensible will provide consulting, deployment and integration services around the Open Grid System solutions, including the capacity for a broader deployment and usage. Customers will be offered a standards-based approach for managing and analyzing their Network Connectivity Model. With the complimentary expertise of the two companies, they will deliver advanced insights and analytics into grid operations to support DER.
"Xtensible and Open Grid Systems have a long history of working together in the development of industry integration standards along with system implementations worldwide," said Alan McMorran, managing director at Open Grid Systems. "We are very excited to work with Xtensible to provide modern, scalable solutions for the challenges faced by utilities in the smart-grid enabled world."
