CEA is delighted to welcome 3 new Corporate Partners to the Association as of May 2019. Our partners represent a diverse range of services and products, each adding further value to the Corporate Partner Program.
Opus One Solutions - www.opusonesolutions.com There’s no denying that new technologies connecting to local electricity grids are driving increased complexity for distribution utility planning and operations. As a leading software solutions provider, Opus One Solutions is building a world-class technology to support the electricity grid of the future, while working with all of today’s market participants to enhance grid reliability, resiliency and visibility. The company’s model-based software engine, GridOS® helps distribution utilities maximize value from distributed energy resources, while supporting greater consumer engagement and leading to lower costs for utility ratepayers. Paul Feldman, Former Chairman of MISO, Board Director of WECC, and CEO of Columbia Energy says, “Having worked in the utility industry for more than 25 years, I know GridOS is the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for.” Utilities across Canada and the U.S. are already leveraging the engine’s various applications, which include Integrated Distribution Planning (IDP), Distributed Energy Resources Management Systems and Microgrids (DERMS), Optimization Engine (OE) and Transactive Energy (TE). Our Distribution System Platform (DSP) project with National Grid in Buffalo, New York is an eye opener to new engagement models through TE for world-wide customers, policy makers and regulators. In support of New York’s Reform the Energy Vision strategy, the project showcases GridOS capabilities as a proven, future-proof DSP market based on locational and temporal pricing, integrating with NYISO and creating distribution level same-day and day-ahead markets. Visit our Customers and Projects page to learn more about GridOS and how various utilities are leveraging the platform to optimize the grid today and plan for the future.
