Advanced Microgrid Solutions and Opus One Solutions Partner on Suite of Distribution Services

Advanced Microgrid Solutions and Opus One Solutions Partner to Provide Suite of Distribution Services

July 8, 2016

Advanced Microgrid Solutions (AMS) and Opus One Solutions (Opus One) have agreed to jointly offer a suite of solutions for the distribution grid. The partnership will provide utilities with a comprehensive platform for real-time management and optimization of the electric grid, the two companies say.

The shift from centralized to distributed generation has presented utilities with new challenges, including the need to manage two-way powerflows and capacity issues. Grid edge solutions like those developed by AMS and Opus One are critical to helping utilities as they develop new business models in response to this changing environment.

AMS is a pioneer in the use of energy storage systems for electric utility grid support; Opus One, a leading smart grid software engineering company. The partners will pair advanced energy storage systems with real-time grid level energy management software to bring utilities greater grid visibility, control, and optimization. This solution set will

  • support widespread deployment and operation of distributed energy resources, including renewable energy
  • help customers optimize their energy strategies while contributing to a stronger, more resilient grid

“This partnership gives AMS and Opus One a competitive edge in terms of what we can offer to both utilities and host customers,” says Joshua Wong, Chief Executive Officer of Opus One Solutions. “Utilities get improved grid resilience, power quality, utilization, and efficiency. End users realize new value streams, reliable back-up power, and greater control over their energy supply.”

The agreement brings together AMS’s advanced analytics software, Armada, and Opus One’s GridOS, a real-time distribution energy management platform. AMS will develop and manage distributed energy resources for commercial, industrial, and large aggregated customers. Opus One will oversee electrical grid energy management solutions, including grid and microgrid monitoring, control, and optimization.
