Today's distribution networks are managing a fundamentally different grid. Behind-the-meter solar, battery storage, EV chargers, and dynamic loads are connecting faster than centralized SCADA and ADMS systems can track — creating a growing blind spot where voltage variations, overloads, and reliability events happen faster than operators can respond.

Live Network Topology and Observability

OpenDSO renders the entire distribution network as a living, interactive model. Operators see every device and every flow in real time, and can drill from a system-wide view down to a single inverter or meter.

Conditional DER Dispatch Applications

OpenDSO runs autonomous control logic at the grid edge, watching circuit conditions in real time and dispatching DERs the moment thresholds are crossed. Operators define the rules; the platform executes them at the speed conditions actually change.

Solar Smoothing

Monitors solar output and ramp rate. Dispatches battery storage to smooth PV intermittency and prevent rapid voltage variations on the circuit.

Peak Shaving

Monitors load at defined circuit points. Triggers storage discharge when rolling average peak load exceeds thresholds. Evaluates off-peak periods for automated recharge scheduling.

Smart EV Charge Management

Coordinates EV charging loads to prevent transformer overloads. Modulates charge rates in response to real-time transformer loading — enabling EV adoption without infrastructure upgrades.

Distributed Voltage Management

Manages voltage profiles by coordinating reactive power output of distributed inverters, capacitor banks, and voltage regulators in real time.

Scheduled DER Dispatch

For use cases requiring coordination with market signals or forecasted conditions, OpenDSO's scheduled dispatch applications optimize DER output against anticipated demand and price signals — including OpenADR and IEEE 2030.5 aggregator patterns for demand response, ISO market participation support, and energy storage management optimized against wholesale pricing.
