GridS2’s Transactive Energy Platform is Unlocking the Potential of Distributed Energy Resources by Creating and Enabling Local Electricity Markets

A Canadian Cleantech Startup

About Us

At GridS2 we are passionate about 3 Es: Electricity, Environment and Economics! We envision a society that can reach its Net-Zero goals by using Green Electricity that is both cost effective and Reliable.

We are creating a transactive energy platform that allows all stakeholders of an electrical network – generators, distributors and consumers to generate revenue by trading electricity as a commodity at the distribution grid while continuing to operate within the physical constraints of the grid.

Mission

Use Technology to create Tools that allow for optimal techno-economic operation of tomorrow’s Electrical Energy Ecosystem

Vision

To Create a Smarter, more Reliable, Resilient and Greener Distribution Grid that offers cost-effective choices to its customers

Transactive Energy Platform

Technology

The first decade of this century saw the development of “Smart Grid” – a distribution grid with smart devices. This past decade saw an exponential drop in the costs of Distributed Energy Resources. Now, a Transactive Energy Platform is needed to tie the Smart Distribution Grid with the Potential of Distributed Energy Resources.

GridS2’s qEX Platform allows for a Distribution Utility or another entity to function as a Distribution System Operator. It computes the Optimal Distribution Locational Marginal Price, maximizing profits for all market participants, and also dispatches these assets, while continuing to operate the grid reliably at all times.
