Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) and Gridspertise, the new
subsidiary of the Enel Group providing cutting-edge sustainable
solutions to distribution system operators (DSOs), announced a
collaboration to advance the resiliency and quality of smart grids
around the world. The collaboration enables the development of new
hardware and software that support distribution grid self-healing
and adaptation in response to the significant changes in energy
supply and demand as renewable energy sources are brought
online.

The joint effort is built on the long-term smart meters and grid
digitalization solutions collaboration between ADI and Enel over
the last fifteen years. Today, ADI is working with Gridspertise to
deliver even more precise and accurate measurement and monitoring
capabilities through real-time data. This results in enhanced grid
reliability, thanks to faster response times, improved resiliency,
and higher quality of service to customers, while allowing
utilities to improve their operational efficiency and a rapid
transition to clean energy as well as enabling flexibility
services. The technologies are suitable for the enhancement of
legacy infrastructures of different geographies and life stage and
do not require costly rebuilds. Also, they minimize the
environmental impact of the assets, making digitalization a key
driver for more sustainable power distribution grids.
“Leveraging an open innovation approach, Gridspertise
collaborates with key players from different sectors to
industrialize and deliver the most advanced hardware and software
solutions in the market for the digitalization of power
distribution grids, supporting DSOs around the world to accelerate
the energy transition,” said Robert Denda, Chief Executive Officer,
Gridspertise. “We are excited about our collaboration with ADI
following Enel’s footsteps. We look forward to continuing offering
the most up-to-date grid edge technologies that enable operators to
better manage aggregated demand from residential and commercial
buildings and support the future of the energy system in which our
customers become prosumers.”
Analog Devices’ power and precision technologies also deliver
enhanced analog-to-digital conversion, protection, precise
measurement, metrology, and isolation capability for the QEd -
Quantum Edge® device, Gridspertise’s groundbreaking solution at the
heart of the digitalization of secondary substations. This solution
is a first in the industry to fully virtualize the physical
components of secondary substations, turning them into customizable
edge applications, while enabling new use cases and improved
management of key grid functionalities.
“ADI technologies span across the electrification ecosystem,
from vehicles to energy storage to charging stations, and today
they are becoming even more important for the electric power
distribution grids, where precision measurement and digitalization
is essential to ensure greater flexibility and resilience,” said
Patrick Morgan, Corporate Vice President of Automotive
Electrification and Sustainable Energy at Analog Devices. “We are
pleased to expand our collaboration with Gridspertise into our next
generation of advanced energy measurement, isolation, sensing, and
control solutions.”
