Adaptricity
Adaptricity develops a cloud-based grid analytics SaaS platform for Distribution Grid Operators (DSOs), enabling them to better understand their electricity grid infrastructure via data-driven grid analytics. Adaptricity enacts potential cost savings to be seized by DSOs in grid operations, maintenance and planning. Adaptricity was founded in 2014 as a spin-off of ETH Zürich. All its three cofounders are still in the companies. Two of them are experts in power systems and gained their PhD in ETH, while the third, with a PhD in business computing, is the head of software development. Adaptricity offers three software products – Adaptricity.Plan, Adaptricity.Sim, Adaptricity.Mon – which are cloud-based and ready for the market. The SaaS model allows DSOs to subscribe to the platform with an annual billing and enjoy the power of the cloud sided to the ease of a browser-based solution. The Adaptricity solution enhances grid transparency way beyond the nowadays benchmark. It allows to experience pragmatic cost savings in engineering processes such as connection requests and succeeds at making a company future-proof by unveiling what the potential scenarios could be in the future sustainable energy transition. Adaptricity.Sim automates data integration, cleaning and enhancement, as well as the generation of future scenarios. This allows low level grid planners to efficiently perform tasks that used to require large efforts from highly skilled employees. Adaptricity.Mon allows DSOs to simulate and visualize their grids close-to-real time, with automatic integration of data from Smart Meters and other parts of the grid – e.g. substation measurements.
