Utilizing decentralized flexibility and new tools for intelligent grid orchestration is key to achieve the country’s ambitious goals, while reducing the cost impact of grid investments. At the forefront of new offerings is Grid Flex Control, the flexibility management platform to help utilities to group, manage, and dispatch flexibility through their existing smart metering infrastructure. This foundation enables scalable integration and orchestration of distributed energy resources (DERs), while leaning into technological and economic synergies of deployed smart meters, communication networks, and the Head-End-System (HES). This platform enables utilities to transition seamlessly from legacy ripple control systems to modern flexibility management solutions. Additional use cases addressed by the holistic solutions portfolio of Landis+Gyr include the integration of solar PV, peak shaving, enablement of local flexibility markets, and connecting diverse DERs through APIs, smart metering systems, or other interfaces – all while ensuring no comfort loss to end consumers. Through a recently announced global partnership with OATI Landis+Gyr has launched its state-of-the-art intelligence and optimization layer to expand flexibility management for coming challenges.  

To complete the flexibility management chain and deliver an integrated end-to-end solution, Landis+Gyr is making significant efforts and investments in local research, development, and deployment, ensuring that solutions align with Swiss-specific needs, while contributing to global advancements in flexibility management and grid analytics. With solutions like Grid Flex Control and next generation HES, Landis+Gyr offers a clear path toward greater efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability—all aligned with Switzerland’s long-term energy strategy and empowering utilities and consumers to manage energy better.
