Zaphiro Technologies further strengthens its positioning in the Italian market: today the company attended the General Meeting of Open Power Grids.

Open Power Grid is an association founded by Enel Grids, which gathers major DSOs and technology providers with the goal of sharing and developing standards and technologies for grid components, aiming to accelerate the transition to more efficient and sustainable power distribution grids.

Collaboration, integration, and sustainability are keywords definitely in line with Zaphiro’s values. Indeed, Zaphiro’s SynchroGuard solution processes high value data from Zaphiro’s PMUs and also third-party devices to provide a complete view of the grid power flows to optimize real-time processes, fault location, and asset management, as well as empowers other systems, such as SCADA and ADMS. All this is provided with a very lean physical architecture, minimizing hardware deployment and the consequent carbon footprint. The company aims to build sustainable smart grids that will be able to host and efficiently manage clean energy sources like renewables, EVs, and batteries.

Together with Zaphiro, the General Meeting was attended by the main Italian DSOs, such as Enel, Unareti, Areti, Ireti, Edyna, SET, Inrete, Deval (also international DSOs will be announced soon), and also research centers, such as CESI, and vendors such as ABB and Schneider Electric, to name a few.

A fundamental requisite towards the effective achievement of the objectives set by the association is the active participation of various subjects, and today a concrete step forward has been made along this path.
