OpenDSO execution at the edge video
OpenDSO Solutions
OpenDSO is architected and built to address the modern operational and market challenges that face our power delivery systems. It solves problems utilities face today. From the distribution network to the assets in the field to the customers reshaping load
— all on a single platform.
OpenDSO gives grid operators real-time visibility and automated control of traditional assets and distributed energy resources across the entire power delivery system — augmenting or replacing the software they already operate.

Learn More →OpenDSO delivers edge interoperability, multi-party integration, and application intelligence for powering advanced data centers — from peak load shaving to multi-site workload optimization.
Learn More →OpenDSO runs anywhere — at the grid edge, substation, enterprise data center, or public cloud. Purpose-built edge applications push intelligence directly to where energy is generated, distributed, and/or consumed.
Learn More →Security is foundational to the OpenDSO architecture — not a feature added afterward. OES implements zero trust security spanning every layer: users, devices, networks, applications, automation, analytics, and data.
Learn More →Stop Writing Custom Integrations. Start Deploying Faster. The OES OpenFMB adapter framework eliminates integration complexity — a vendor-neutral, standards-based layer connecting any device, any protocol, any vendor.

Edge AI and Applications
A growing portfolio of grid-edge intelligence applications for utilities and commercial/industrial customers - solar smoothing, peak shaving, smart EV charge management, and distributed voltage management. Powered by Google Gemini and Gemma AI models for cloud and edge inference.
Deployment Models — Run Anywhere
OpenDSO runs anywhere — at the grid edge, substation, enterprise data center, or public cloud. Purpose-built edge applications push intelligence directly to where energy is generated, distributed, and/or consumed.
Deploy directly on protection and control (P&C) compute devices, industrial computers, substation servers, and smart meters as OpenDSO nodes. Supports variable node configuration and OpenFMB-native device gateways.
Deploy alongside your existing ADMS, DERMS, SCADA, GIS, AMI, and PI systems as a complementary integration and control layer — no rip-and-replace required.
Deploy across substations, feeders, and circuits as a multi-layer architecture supporting laminar circuit segment coordination at every level of the network.
Run on Google Cloud Platform, AWS, or enterprise private cloud. Wherever OpenDSO is deployed, it’s the same platform components, same applications, and same operator experience.
Security Architecture
Security is foundational to the OpenDSO architecture — not a feature added afterward. OES implements zero trust security spanning every layer: users, devices, networks, applications, automation, analytics, and data.
Keycloak provides enterprise-grade IAM — SSO, and role-based access control across all platform components.
Integrated NATS authentication provides cryptographic workload attestation for every application and service.
Zero trust security is built into the CI/CD pipeline. Every update is signed, verified, and deployed through auditable processes.
AI Integration — AI That Works at Grid Speed
OpenDSO integrates AI directly into grid operations workflows, an active intelligence layer that monitors, predicts, and recommends at grid speed. Real-time telemetry flows through OpenFMB/NATS to Postgres and BigQuery. Gemini 2.5 Pro reasons over structured asset health data to produce automated health reports and fleet-level dashboards.
Edge Interoperability
Stop Writing Custom Integrations. Start Deploying Faster. The OES OpenFMB adapter framework eliminates integration complexity — a vendor-neutral, standards-based layer connecting any device, any protocol, any vendor. OpenFMB (NAESB RMQ.26) defines a shared language that any compliant device or application can speak.
Translates device-native protocols to the OpenFMB message model over a NATS pub-sub backplane. Base framework supports DNP3, Modbus, and IEEE 2030.5. Commercial license for utilities; OEM licensing for device manufacturers and telecom vendors.
Protocol-specific extensions add support for IEC 61850, ICCP/TASE2, OCPP 1.6, and additional device types. Licensed as add-ons to the base adapter subscription, with OEM licensing available for hardware manufacturers.
A purpose-built VTN Service for seamlessly integrating OpenADR virtual end nodes representing individual or aggregated distributed energy resources, for observability, management, scheduling, and control.
