Future Grid is cyber integrated utility software that makes Low Voltage Networks visible and responsive to the power quality challenges created by Distributed Energy Resources (DER)
DER integration creates power quality challenges
Rooftop Solar, Storage and Batteries, Electric Vehicles and Peer to Peer Energy Trading all shift the way energy is both generated and consumed. As a result, network voltage management becomes a bottleneck renewable integration.
Future Grid’s revolutionary technology makes this possible so you integrate more renewables, more quickly.
With full Low Voltage Network visibility
Data Engineering turns smart meter data into real visibility of your distribution network so you can pinpoint capacity constraints at the right time and the right place for demand management.
Data Engineering will execute analytics and automate actions back into operational systems such as SCADA, ADMS and DERMS to manage performance – live.
Detect electrical faults in real-time
Data Engineering will monitor customer supply 24/7/365 with our world leading safety algorithms that can detect and pinpoint network faults live.
Data Engineering will correlate faults and surface to GIS and DMS while dispatching work orders to field crews automatically.

Today you have data in different systems and places. You need to bring data together into one place to create visibility of your network. With many different data languages combined with the scale of this data, the problem has become difficult to solve – the data barrier.
Data Engineering will ingest, transform and model all of your Utility data into an autonomous, live network model. Then operationalise algorithms for active network control, safety and reliability.
Visibility of a changing grid environment with locational awareness of assets, performance and safety to drive down cost and improve reliability.
If you’ve got this far, you’re interested in what we do. We often find people have the same questions about Future Grid, so here are our answers.
We support the cloud. However delivering a live grid network model with smart meter data is a complex problem. We solve this out of the box as a ready to go product. Data Engineering provides the context, you can then use that data through any tools in the cloud that are required.
SAP and single-use case software providers is far more expensive than Future Grid. These systems are built for a different use case and fail to deal with the data barrier caused by lots of smart meter and DER data.
If you prefer to visualise in GIS, Tableau or PowerBI, Data Engineering will manage the processing and transformation of the large time-series based data-sets and ensure these dashboards are fast and responsive.
DERMS and ADMS are considered point solutions to support control of specific assets. Data Engineering is needed to manage the large volumes of data real-time and determine which control action is needed. As a result our algorithms will integrate to DERMS or ADMS not replace it.
Data Lakes much like a database or data warehouse is still an important part of the Utility ecosystem. What Data Engineering provides is a simple and automated way turn operational data in a network model for operational context and decisions. We integrate with all major database vendors.
