Opus One Solutions deploys first transactive energy management software at Southern California Edison for a DOE demonstration...
July 23 2020 - 9:00AM
Opus One Solutions, a leading provider of transactive and
distributed energy management software, announced today an
agreement to deploy its GridOS Transactive Energy Management System
(TEMS) for a demonstration at Southern California Edison (SCE), one
of the largest electric utilities in the United States.
This is the first transactive energy software
deployment of its kind at Southern California Edison and in the
state of California. Opus One’s GridOS TEMS application will be
used for SCE’s Electric Access System Enhancement (EASE) project,
which is supported by the Department of Energy (DOE) Enabling
Extreme Real-time Grid Integration of Solar Energy (ENERGISE)
program. The ENERGISE program is led by the DOE’s Solar Energy
Technologies Office, which aims to improve the affordability,
reliability, and value of solar technologies on the grid.
SCE will use GridOS TEMS to manage distributed
energy resources (DER) in its Camden substation area. Through price
signals, SCE will be able to communicate with and optimize the
dispatch of those resources. This will allow SCE to explore
cost-effective services for the grid through customer owned DER,
and potential new revenue streams for its customers.
Opus One’s software facilitates the adoption of
renewable energy by enabling customers’ assets to provide energy
services to the utility. The software combines a market management
system with a participant interface to engage customers and
establish operating schedules for distributed energy sources that
can meet grid needs. Learnings from this project could inform grid
operations to manage DER at scale and help SCE toward its vision of
cleaning the electricity grid and reaching carbon neutrality.
“Utilities need a way to effectively accommodate
more clean, distributed energy on their grids as the push for
decarbonization of the industry accelerates,” said Mark Hormann,
Vice President, US Sales at Opus One Solutions. “A market-based
approach, which brings time-varying prices to resources based on
their location, helps achieve these goals while opening up new
revenue streams for utilities and their customers.”
