At Reactive Technologies, we are excited to announce our partnership with Siemens Smart Infrastructure to enhance grid stability monitoring. By integrating our proprietary technology with Siemens’ Gridscale X software, we aim to improve the visibility of grid stability challenges and optimise the measurement of power inertia and system strength.
As a leading Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETS) company, we recognise the growing demand for advanced network studies, precise grid modelling, and improved grid operations and planning. Our collaboration with Siemens will help accelerate the transition to a resilient, low-carbon power grid.
One of the key challenges for grid operators is obtaining an accurate, real-time view of inertia levels across assets. Traditionally, this has meant relying on fossil fuel generation to provide a reliable source of inertia. However, with our GridMetrix® technology, grid operators can now monitor grid inertia in real time, allowing them to respond swiftly to failures and unlock up to 30% more grid capacity through renewables.
By combining GridMetrix® with Siemens’ Gridscale X software, PSS®E, we offer improved measurement of power grid inertia – the kinetic energy stored in generators, motors, and condensers – and overall system strength. This provides grid operators with a real-time view of grid resilience, enabling more effective and efficient risk reduction and blackout prevention.
Magnus Torronen, Head of Siemens Grid Software Northern Europe:
“Reactive Technologies is demonstrating its value and deep expertise not only in the UK but globally through its projects. Our collaboration is a vital part of developing the grid of the future, both in the UK and internationally. We share the same goals of streamlining and accelerating the power sector’s transition to zero-carbon energy.”
Marc Borrett, Reactive Technologies CEO:
“Power system simulations are a critical early-stage step in our R&D process. Our collaboration is vital for transitioning to a resilient, low-carbon power grid, as it provides actionable results to unlock grid capacity by mitigating risks, reducing curtailments, and planning more renewable resource assets.”
This partnership marks a significant milestone for Reactive Technologies. It highlights our dedication to making the grid more stable and resilient. By using the latest technology and working closely with our partners, we’re constantly improving our products and driving innovation in the energy sector. We’re committed to staying at the forefront of the industry and providing solutions that meet the changing needs of grid operators around the world.
