Enabling grid modernization for a smart energy future
Smart grids are energy management networks that distribute electrical energy using digital technologies and IoT solutions. Corinex’s smart grid solution consists of grid management software GridValue and smart energy products EnergyGrid. It integrates distributed energy devices and provides real-time energy data, analytics, and predictive models.
An adaptable, secure, and sustainable smart electric grid enabled by energy modernization
Integrating smart grid technology into the electric grid creates new opportunities for decarbonizing our economies by enabling live management of renewable energy installations, and energy distributors and consumers by reducing energy waste and energy storage facilities, and increasing the energy efficiency of existing energy distribution networks.
These smart grid solutions provide value to both energy distributors and energy consumers by reducing energy waste and energy costs.
Socio-environmental factors such as urbanization and climate change are increasing renewable electricity’s share of global energy consumption. This is leading to a progressive transformation of the energy landscape spurred by governmental incentives to decarbonize and integrate renewable energy. Intermittent energy resources such as wind farms, solar, etc., have highly variable energy output and are often decentralized, causing changes in energy flows that pose a challenge for the existing electric grid.
To address these challenges, the energy industry is investing in smart grid technologies that sense and optimize the electric grid. A smart grid solution can help energy providers and utilities reduce rising costs, and address issues of power quality, grid stability, and aging equipment.

Improved regulatory compliance
Smart grid solutions can help utilities meet regulatory obligations to reduce carbon emissions by making greater use of renewables and supporting more efficient generation, transmission, and distribution.
Enhanced customer engagement
More tailored and competitive products and services can be provided by utilities due to the ability to collect insights and an accurate picture of customers’ usage patterns.
Improved employee safety
Employees of utility companies are subjected to hazardous conditions less frequently, consequently reducing operational and management costs.
Increased utilization
By efficiently managing peak load and energy consumption, smart grid solution allows utilities to "get more through existing assets"
Improved productivity
Employee productivity can be greatly improved through the integration of smart grid technologies that optimizes the O&M process.
Extended asset life span
Smart grid extends the life span of energy grids and utilities’ assets through improved asset health management.
Improved load forecasting
Smart grid technology enables more accurate analysis and predictions of peak load and energy consumption patterns, providing utilities with more information to make decisions when new capital investments are needed.
Enhanced resilience
With the real-time two-way connection that smart grid technology provides, utilities can remotely and instantaneously manage the energy grids, resulting in a reduction of the probability that a man-made cyber or physical attack could occur.
Improved operational safety
Smart grid technology reduces the theft and vandalism of property due to the increased detection and communication capability.
Shortened restoration time
Smart grid technology improves restoration times following the damages to the energy grids caused by storms and other natural disasters.
