OpenDSO execution at the edge video
OpenDSO Solutions
OpenDSO is built for the operational challenges that come with distributed energy on the grid. It solves hurdles utilities face today. From the distribution network to the assets in the field to the customers reshaping load, all on a single platform.
OpenDSO gives grid operators real-time visibility and automated control of distributed energy resources across the entire distribution network — without replacing the systems they already operate.
Learn More →70% of transformers are past their design life. Wind turbine failures cost $2M+ each. The volume of telemetry data from modern grid-edge devices is overwhelming traditional SCADA alert management. OpenDSO turns real-time telemetry into actionable intelligence.
Learn More →OpenDSO delivers edge interoperability, multi-party integration, and application intelligence for advanced data center power operations — from peak load shaving to multi-site workload optimization.
Learn More →OpenDSO runs anywhere — across the grid edge, substation, enterprise data center, or public cloud. Purpose-built edge applications push intelligence directly to where energy is generated.
Learn More →Security is foundational to the OpenDSO architecture — not a feature added afterward. OES implements a patented zero trust security framework spanning every layer: users, devices, networks, applications, automation, analytics, and data.
Learn More →Stop Writing Custom Integrations. Start Deploying Faster. The OES OpenFMB adapter framework eliminates integration complexity — a vendor-neutral, standards-based layer connecting any device, any protocol, any vendor.

Edge AI and Applications
A scalable portfolio of grid-edge intelligence applications for utilities and commercial/industrial customers. Current MVP applications include solar smoothing, peak shaving, smart EV charge management, and distributed voltage management. Powered by Google Gemini and Gemma AI models for cloud and edge inference respectively.
Deployment Models — Run Anywhere
OpenDSO runs anywhere — across the grid edge, substation, enterprise data center, or public cloud. Purpose-built edge applications push intelligence directly to where energy is generated.
Deploy directly on P&C compute devices, industrial computers, substation servers, and smart meters as OpenDSO nodes. Supports variable node configuration and OpenFMB-native device gateways.
Deploy alongside your existing ADMS, DERMS, SCADA, GIS, AMI, and PI systems as a complementary integration and control layer — no rip-and-replace required.
Deploy across substations, feeders, and circuits as a federated, multi-layer architecture supporting laminar circuit segment coordination at every level of the network.
Run on Google Cloud Platform, AWS, or enterprise private cloud. Same platform components, same applications, same operator experience.

AI Integration — AI That Works at Grid Speed
OpenDSO integrates AI directly into grid operations workflows, an active intelligence layer that monitors, predicts, and recommends at grid speed. Real-time telemetry flows through OpenFMB/NATS to Postgres and BigQuery. Gemini 2.5 Pro reasons over structured asset health data to produce automated health reports and fleet-level dashboards.
Edge Interoperability
Stop Writing Custom Integrations. Start Deploying Faster. The OES OpenFMB adapter framework eliminates integration complexity — a vendor-neutral, standards-based layer connecting any device, any protocol, any vendor. OpenFMB (NAESB RMQ.26) defines a shared language that any compliant device or application can speak.
Translates device-native protocols to the OpenFMB message model over a NATS pub-sub backplane. Base framework supports DNP3, Modbus, and IEEE 2030.5. Commercial license for utilities; OEM licensing for device manufacturers and telecom vendors.
Protocol-specific extensions adding support for IEC 61850, ICCP/TASE2, OCPP 1.6, and additional device types. Licensed as add-ons to the base adapter subscription, with OEM licensing available for hardware manufacturers.
A purpose-built VTN Service for seamlessly integrating OpenADR virtual end nodes representing individual or aggregated distributed energy resources for observability, management, scheduling and control.
