Smart energy software provider Bit Stew Systems has released Grid Director 2.0 Platform. The new solution has four distinct modules: AMI Deployment and Management, Demand Response 3.0, Home Energy Management, and Revenue Protection. The modules can be purchased independently or as a set, but each leverages the core Grid Director 2.0 Platform.

Delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS), the Grid Director 2.0 Platform provides real-time interactive event mapping, user defined analytics, and a fully integrated event driven calendar. In addition, the platform provides for rapid implementation and easily connects to other utility applications including common legacy systems.

Bit Stew founder and CEO, Kevin Collins, says, “We have been extremely pleased by the positive feedback we have received on Grid Director to date. The real-time event map combined with the real-time analytics has generated a lot of attention.”

Bit Stew reports that Grid Director 2.0 has been selected by one major North American utility for deployment and is in testing at two others. “The early evaluations point to the grid management and visualization functionality as being truly compelling. The AMI Deployment and Management Module has received the most interest for immediate implementation.”

Bryan Wright, CEO of software consultancy Prymus Energy, calls Grid Director 2.0 “ideal for Network Operation Centers. The real-time event mapping and management meter exceptions can help utilities identify patterns in their complex smart meter networks. Theft detection and grid management can also be realized through this platform, one system doing the tasks of multiple systems.”

Alex Clark, Bit Stew founder and CTO, adds: “The key from a technology perspective is that everything is real-time and we easily connect to the existing Utility environment,” “our ability to quickly integrate with Operational and Information Technology systems and to interact with the smart grid in real-time has given our customers unparalleled access to information and new capabilities that were simply unavailable before.”

Founded in 2006, Bit Stew Systems provides real-time analytics, dynamic event management and a fast and easy way to integrate other applications.
