Plexigrid: Plexar Operated Grids

Introduction

Plexigrid is creating a new value chain since it is building the Operating System for tomorrow's electricity grid. This system enables a new value chain for electricity distribution, where producers, consumers, grid operators, and their devices (EVs, heat pumps, batteries, AC units, solar PV, transformers, smart meters) interplay in real time to optimize energy usage and the utilization of the electricity grid infrastructure.

Benefits of the System

By automatically adapting the flexible consumption, production, and storage of these players, this dual "grid+energy" optimization would reduce hundreds of billions of euros annually in energy savings and grid fees. The elements of this future value chain are already there (consumers, producers, retailers, grid operators, and their wind, solar, PV, EVs, heat pumps, AC units, batteries, smart meters), but the real-time synapsis and orchestration of these hundreds of millions of devices requires a layer of intelligence which does not exist today.

Our Solution

Our solution is a new “grid operating system” that makes electricity distribution grids fit for the energy transition, i.e., fit for a safe, intelligent, and efficient orchestration of the hundreds of millions of EVs, heat pumps, PV panels, and more that electricity grid operators will have to host in their grids.

Technology Advantages

Our technology provides grid operators with three superpowers:

1. ARI - Real-time visibility across the whole network (today grid operators have limited to no visibility below 20,000 volts, where the vast majority of the new demand has to be hosted).
2. TATARI - Real-time grid analytics (grid operators lack real-time analytics under 20,000 volts).
3. TIA - Real-time access to flexibility (i.e., to the flexible scheduling of EV charging, heat pumps, etc.).

Conclusion

Our solution enables an optimal use of grid capacity and saves hundreds of billions of euros in CAPEX/OPEX for grid operators and their customers.
