Offerings Products & Services
Cirrus Flex
Portfolio management platform for aggregating and controlling fleets of distributed energy assets, including virtual power plant (VPP) capabilities, EV smart charging flexibility management, and energy-as-a-service solutions. Enables stacking of grid services and market participation.
Strata Resilience
Microgrid solution for grid resilience and DER management, enabling seamless islanding, scheduling of energy resources, and maximization of market revenues and behind-the-meter benefits. Integrates with protection and control equipment for secure transitions.
Strata Grid
Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) for utilities providing real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of distributed energy resources. Combines grid and market optimization with deterministic sub-second control, supporting demand response, flexible interconnections, and non-wires alternatives.
Case StudiesReferences & Success Stories
Case Study: Lac-Mégantic (Hydro-Québec)
To rebuild as an innovation hub after a disaster, Hydro-Québec and the town of Lac-Mégantic developed a microgrid with solar PV and batteries. SGS deployed Strata Resilience to provide microgrid control, islanding, and optimization for the 0.8 MW microgrid, operational since late 2020, aiming to serve as a model for province-wide energy transition.
Case Study: SSE Networks (Shetland)
To reduce diesel reliance on the island microgrid, Strata Grid was used to schedule energy storage and control renewables, maintaining stability. This enabled the connection of an additional 8 MW of renewables, displacing 9.32 GWh of diesel generation and saving £1 million per year.
Case Study: SP Energy Networks (Accelerating Renewable Connections)
To accelerate renewable connections, SP Energy Networks trialed Strata Grid for real-time curtailment of DER to manage transmission and distribution constraints. The project successfully connected over 150 MW of new renewable generation that would otherwise have been delayed or cost-prohibitive, transitioning from trial to operational system.
Case Study: Endurant (Con Edison)
Endurant Energy needed to aggregate utility-scale batteries to provide peak load relief for Con Edison as a non-wires alternative, while participating in NYISO markets. Strata Grid and Cirrus Flex integrated with Con Edison's systems to optimize and dispatch four 1 MW/1 MWh batteries, stacking network service revenues and market trading to increase return on investment.
Case Study: SSE Networks (Orkney)
Facing major grid upgrade costs, SSEN deployed Strata Grid for real-time constraint management on the Orkney Islands, releasing over 25 MW of additional hosting capacity. The system controls 24 renewable generators totaling 39 MW, enabling 120% of local electricity demand to be met by renewables and saving £30 million by avoiding a subsea cable.
