UNLOCKING AN INTELLIGENT GRID

Utilities need a new solution to help them unlock the true power of energy data. Introducing GridOS Data Fabric, the first grid-specific data fabric.

GridOS® Data Fabric

Overview

The sustainable energy grid runs on data

Grid data. It’s becoming bigger, faster, and more complex as the energy transition heats up. It’s also becoming harder to access and leverage – both necessities for powering the applications and innovations that make grid orchestration possible. Ease those challenges with GridOS Data Fabric, the first data fabric designed for grid orchestration.

Analyst perspective

With a data fabric, data acquisition and utilization is easier and more efficient. According to Gartner®:

400%


By 2025, data utilization will improve by 400%.*

30%


By 2026, data fabrics will cut manual data management tasks by 30% through the adoption of data fabric design patterns.**

80%


By 2025, 80% of Chief Data and Analytics Officers will have adopted data fabric as a driving factor in successfully addressing data management complexity.*

A grid-specific data fabric

GridOS Data Fabric removes utilities’ biggest hurdles to access and leverage energy data. It’s a key step to unlocking the power of grid orchestration.

How it works

Discover

Grid data is scattered everywhere. GridOS Data Fabric centralizes metadata to uncover it, also leveraging federation to unify and access it.

Govern

Grid apps and use cases require accurate and contextual data. GridOS Data Fabric leverages a metadata catalog that helps organize, index, and unlock data for any use.

Utilize

You don't have to be a software engineer to use GridOS Data Fabric. Its simple-to-use tools like dashboards and query functions are both user- and app-friendly.

Unlocking the future with GridOS Data Fabric

When it comes to grid orchestration, GridOS Data Fabric is an absolute must. It’s a utility’s best bet to access and leverage the data needed to unlock intelligent use cases, AI- and ML-powered applications, data-driven decision making, and more. Take a look at some of the many use cases that can be enabled with GridOS Data Fabric.
T&D Integration
T&D data naturally resides in locally managed environments. GridOS Data Fabric can bridge those silos, making it easier to integrate key capabilities across T&D like forecasting, switching, emergency response, power restoration, and digital twin simulations.
Violation Avoidance
DER-heavy grids are at risk of backfeed violations. GridOS Data Fabric brings together the forecasting and OT data that help predict violations and schedule the right dispatches to avert them.
Grid Automation
AI- and ML-powered applications make predictions by studying past events — which requires high-quality training and input data. GridOS Data Fabric provides the common data foundation that AI and ML engines need.
Outage Management
Utilities struggle to accurately pinpoint and visualize outages. GridOS Data Fabric makes it easier to combine voltage, meter, and location data to inform and drive the best possible response.

FAQs

Frequently Asked
Questions

My organization’s data is not centrally located – data is stored all over the place. Can GridOS Data Fabric work with that?
Absolutely! This simply means that – like most utilities – your organization’s grid data is “distributed,” or stored in a variety of places, probably depending on its source. This is very normal for grid data, especially since it helps preserve quality and accuracy. GridOS Data Fabric is designed to help you access that data while respecting its distributed nature. In other words, GridOS Data Fabric brings decentralized data into a virtually centralized view.
Is the GridOS Data Fabric a centralized database?
No – this a common misconception about data fabrics in general. GridOS Data Fabric should not be confused with a data lake or warehouse. Think of it as a data foundation. From this foundation it becomes faster, easier, and more efficient to access and leverage the energy data you need to orchestrate the grid.
Do my people need coding knowledge to work with GridOS Data Fabric?
Very little. GridOS Data Fabric provides access to a low-code development platform outfitted with user-friendly data analysis tools. Minimal coding knowledge is required to utilize and reap the benefits of GridOS Data Fabric, the first grid-specific data fabric.
