The world’s leading innovator companies have chosen our technology and operationally trust it.
We have an enviable track record in the most advanced markets with the leading innovator companies covering all types and sizes of DER and the full breadth of DER use cases. Having trialled, demonstrated and proven the value of our technology over the last decade, more and more customers are adopting Strata Grid into their Operational Technology environment as the multi-use case DERMS platform to complement existing systems.
NREL (INTEGRATE)
Connecting high penetrations of DER requires grid hosting capacity to be managed to ensure that network reliability is not impacted. NREL wanted to investigate the feasibility of hosting >50% DER penetration levels at home, community and grid levels.

Southern California Edison (SCE) identified the need to be able to monitor and control DER at scale across its network as part of its Grid Modernization objectives. It also recognised that DERMS required many different capabilities, not all available in a single solution. SCE designed a reference architecture that they required to demonstrate, through the Integrated Grid Project, prior to future investments in DERMS infrastructure.

The town of Lac-Mégantic in Québec, Canada, suffered a catastrophic rail disaster in 2013 when a train full of crude oil derailed in the town’s downtown core. In 2014 Lac-Mégantic turned its gaze forward and started its path towards redevelopment with a whole new vision of the district. As it entered the planning stage, Lac‑Mégantic set an ambitious goal to become a hub of innovation.

Northern Powergrid identified a number of remote, poorly served or critical communities where reliability could be improved by the introduction of microgrids.
Find out moreConfidential Canadian Utility
Our customer was experiencing dramatic load growth in areas of the network and required an automated load relief scheme, a platform to dispatch batteries for peak load management and real-time control of DG for dynamic hosting capacity. To improve return on investment, they were looking for an enterprise level DERMS that could operate across all of the time horizons, types of DER and use cases.
Find out moreSSE Enterprise (EaaS)
SSE Enterprise is seeking to optimize a portfolio of DER assets for a broad range of use cases including ‘on grid’ applications such as microgrids, hosting capacity management and network services. The DERMS requires to integrate to both markets and grids, optimizing a diverse range of DER types and sizes to enable new Energy as a Service business models.
Find out moreTucson Electric Power (RAIN)
In collaboration with EPRI, Tucson Electric Power sought to demonstrate the technologies and processes to handle mass consumer take up of PV and other consumer level DER. The DERMS was required to demonstrate connectivity and control of all consumer types of residential DER (PV, storage, EVs) connected via a range of protocols and standards.

The project will develop a new ground-breaking solution for connecting EV chargepoints to the electricity network in a way that balances network capacity and the needs of the motorist. It will provide a mechanism for DNO’s to optimise the use of existing assets, plan for future upgrades and make best use of appropriate flexible charging solutions.

UK Power Networks operate the Distribution Network across the south east of the UK, including London. As part of their vision to be a world-leading DSO, they required a multi-use case DERMS, with ANM capability, to deliver a broad range of use cases across their business. Use cases include flexible connections, flexibility services, coordinated services with National Grid, and optimisation of the network with power electronics.
Find out moreWestern Power Distribution (Strata Grid Roll-Out)
Western Power Distribution (WPD) operates the largest geographical area of any Distribution Utility in the UK. Their service territory spans the South West of England into Wales and the Midlands. WPD, like many UK Distribution Utilities, has connected record volumes of DER, mainly PV, to its network.
Find out moreGIE (Con Edison)
Con Edison required peak load relief services in New York and as part of a REV demonstration project sought to prove the case for using batteries in a stacked revenue arrangement to reduce the cost of the service. GIE therefore required a solution to aggregate utility scale batteries for Con Edison to dispatch and trade residual capability in the NYISO.
Find out moreAvangrid (FICS)
Avangrid was receiving customer feedback related to the high cost and timescale of DER interconnection being driven by the need for grid upgrades.
Find out moreDistributed ReStart
Distributed Restart is a world-first initiative. The project explores how all forms of DER, synchronous and converter connected, scheduled and intermittent including solar, wind, hydro, energy from waste, CHP, ESS etc. can be used to restore power to the GB transmission network in the unlikely event of a blackout - a process known as Black Start.

Our customer EWE NETZ has some of the highest penetration levels of renewable generation in Germany. Previous regulation meant that they are responsible for upgrading the network to accommodate and passing on the cost of these upgrades to consumers
Find out moreSouthern California Edison (EASE)
With state mandates for renewables and energy storage, California has experienced an upsurge in the volume of DER connecting to the network. The process for connection, all the way from planning consent to grid connection and being energised, took weeks even for residential scale DER. Southern California Edison wanted to streamline the connection process for millions of DER (e.g. 6GW+ of Solar PV) and onboard the DER for control and optimisation.

SP Energy Networks were looking for way to accelerate the connection of renewable and distribution generation projects for a range of network cases and scenarios. This included congestion constraints on the transmission network which distribution connected generation could feed under outage scenarios.
