Schneider Electric Announces Implementation of Network Operation Platform on Microsoft Azure

28 June 2022

Schneider Electric , the leader in digital transformation for energy management and automation, today announced the deployment of a network operations platform in its ExoStruxure service portfolio. Based on the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform, Schneider Electric offers a deployment environment that allows you to host and manage network planning and operations solutions in the cloud.

As the industry experiences significant disruption and technology advances at a rapid pace, traditional methods of deploying software solutions and related services are changing. Schneider's Grid Operation Platform was designed to meet the unprecedented challenges faced by power grid operators today. As cloud solutions continue to demonstrate their value across industries, network operators can benefit from simplified deployments, incremental enhancements, increased scalability and reduced maintenance, while enabling managed and advisory services. Simplified, progressive and cyber-secure approaches are demanded for all aspects of network management, whether computer or not. Schneider Electric provides the network operation platform on Azure in collaboration with Microsoft to meet the requirements of critical energy infrastructures for the energy sector.

“Microsoft's commitment to this collaboration helps digitally transform people, organizations and the industry at large,” said Alexis Grenon, senior vice president, digital network at Schneider Electric. “Together, we are working to help our customers run more reliable, efficient, sustainable and secure networks now and in the future. »

Schneider Electric has a long history of providing cloud-based asset management and edge management solutions to utilities and is now extending that success to operations management, with EcoStruxure DERMS (Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems) and EcoStruxure ADMS(advanced distribution management system) running on Azure, including use cases such as distributed energy resource management, outage management, network planning, and user training. This unlocks value that can be offered to a much larger market, where smaller organizations can enjoy the same benefits as larger ones. This progression delivers increased value to customers and enables a more agile approach to innovation.

“Microsoft supports Schneider Electric in delivering enterprise-class solutions that allow customers to focus more on their operations and less on software infrastructure management,” said Darryl Willis, vice president, business, energy industry. at Microsoft. “It further enables Schneider Electric to address the utility sector's most pressing business challenges with the flexibility, reliability and security of Azure. »

Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Grid portfolio of solutions demonstrates the company's commitment to a more digital and electric world. Together with the Grid Operation Platform, it supports the growth of distributed energy resources, micro-grids, energy communities and other flexible resources throughout digitally planned, designed and operated lifecycles. The networks of the future are powered by data and integrated network models - they are more reliable, more flexible, more efficient and more secure.
