Schneider Electric has introduced a suite of advanced smart grid solutions at Enlit Europe 2024, aimed at helping to enhance grid resilience, flexibility, and net zero readiness in response to increasing demands in the energy sector.

Digital Grid Solutions for a Sustainable Future

Building on its digital grid capabilities, Schneider Electric unveiled several new solutions to support sustainable energy management, including:

  • Net Zero Dashboard: Integrated with EcoStruxure ADMS and DERMS, this Digital Grid Sustainability Service Net Zero Dashboard helps to enable utilities to track net zero metrics, providing insights to help utilities manage decarbonization efforts more effectively.

  • Grid Flexibility: In collaboration with global utilities, including PG&E and Elektrilevi, Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure DERMS system helps utilities navigate the complexities of grid constraints from distributed renewable energy sources. Elektrilevi, which began with a proof-of-concept, is now expanding to a full-scale project using Schneider Electric’s Stepwise approach.

  • Grid Resiliency: Leveraging the AiDash platform, Schneider Electric’s grid resiliency strategies use satellite and AI technologies to deliver real-time analytics. These insights prepare utilities for extreme weather and help reinforce grid stability.

  • Holistic LV Network Monitoring: Schneider Electric’s comprehensive monitoring solutions help to address the integration challenges of low-carbon technologies, providing more efficient planning, monitoring, and operation of the low-voltage grid.

  • Partnership with Unareti: Italian utility Unareti is using Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure ADMS platform to help improve service efficiency in Milan and Brescia. This integration with PowerLogic T300 provides real-time asset monitoring, data-driven decision-making, and heightened intelligence at the secondary substation level. 

  • New Purchasing Options: To support the digitalization of Distribution System Operators (DSOs), Schneider Electric is introducing subscription packages that offer access to the latest updates and features upon each release.

Active Plus Medium Voltage Switchgear with EcoCare

Schneider Electric introduced its Active Plus Medium Voltage switchgear equipped with EcoCare, a service plan offering remote monitoring and predictive analytics. This natively connected equipment enables 24/7 oversight, helping utilities identify early-stage issues and maintain optimal system performance.
