GridQube specializes in real-time visibility technology solutions for distribution utilities (also known as DNOs in Europe and DNSPs in Australia). GridQube's software allows effective, unsupervised operation for the electric power distribution system, automatically interacting with other third-party IT/OT systems (eg, ADMS, DERMS, market platforms).

GridQube's solution is delivered in three parts, as follows:

• Distribution System State Estimation Engine (DSSE): uses an analytical approach and "incomplete data" to determine an approximate "state" (namely voltage magnitude and phase angle) for each node across a distribution network, which can then determine the underlying network output (performance). This enables widespread visibility of MV and LV networks, without the need to deploy sensors .

• Constraint Analysis (CA) engine: manages the physical and operational constraints of the distribution network (eg, voltage level, capacity limits, etc).

• Capacity Constrained Optimization (CCO) engine: calculates dynamic operating envelopes (DOE), which dynamically defines upper and lower bounds for certain parts of the grid.

The core of GridQube's technology is its Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE) engine , which integrates currently disjointed sets of data (like interval meter data, switch states, and SCADA telemetry) to form a consistent and coherent representation of the electrical distribution network (from substations out to individual service transformers or even customer meters).

With DSSE, measurements that are not collected (by devices like relays, line sensors and smart meters) are derived with smart algorithms using available telemetry and grid information.

Beyond DSSE, GridQube's technology provides a novel way for identifying all feasible options for managed DER, and further, can calculate optimal set points and value ranges within operational limits (like voltage level). The continuous calculation of these dynamic operating envelopes (DOE) may be foundational to active network management and DER marketplaces.

GridQube aims to support companies in the power sector (namely distribution utilities, but also energy market operations, DER developers, etc.) in order to achieve:

• Grid congestion analysis, to understand the why of customers' uncapability of exporting their renewable energy to the grid
• Network management, to prepare distribution utilities for infrastructure investment based on accurate existing grid capacity and connectivity demand
• Network visibility, for a better understanding of the operational conditions of the electricity network
