A SCOTTISH software firm has announced a new enterprise licence that will see it expand across the UK.
Smarter Grid Solutions will join up with UK utility giant Western Power Distribution (WPD).
The move will enable WPD to deploy Smarter Grid Solutions’ world-leading ANM Strata software across its entire network area in South Wales, the South West and the East and West Midlands.
Smarter Grid Solutions describes ANM Strata as “a highly flexible and scalable Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS)software platform for wide-area coordination and control”.
Brent Marshall, chief operating officer of Smarter Grid Solutions, said: “This new agreement marks a major change in how utilities are deploying our software as they roll-out our products to meet their customers’ demands.
“The licence provides WPD with a platform to also meet emerging and future system needs, including management of battery storage and electric vehicle charging”.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
