Siemens will release two new products as part of its Gridscale X portfolio at CIGRE Paris Session next week. The new Gridscale X software will enable power utilities, in particular Transmission System Operators (TSOs), to accelerate the energy transition by paving the way towards more flexible and autonomous grid management.
Driven by a significant increase in electricity demand, as well as renewable and distributed energy resources (DERs), TSOs face the challenge of ensuring the secure and reliable operation of transmission networks, due to rising complexities caused by the integration of renewable energy – such as system inertia drop, limited grid capacity, and expensive redispatch. With newly released Gridscale X software, such as “Gridscale X Protection Data Manager” and “Gridscale X Dynamic Line Rating”, Siemens can support grid operators to accelerate their digital transformation across planning, operations, and maintenance, enabling the shift towards net-zero grids.
"Gridscale X is a game-changer for grid operators navigating the energy transition," said Sabine Erlinghagen, CEO of Siemens Grid Software. "By providing modular, interoperable software that seamlessly integrates with existing infrastructure, we're empowering utilities accelerate digital transformation easier, faster, and at scale, helping to solve their most pressing challenges efficiently and reliably."
