“TRC is committed to helping clients improve grid resiliency and integrate renewable energy sources, and our partnership with Opus One will provide them with the industry expertise, technological tools, visibility and data they need to successfully upgrade and optimize their systems,” said Craig Cavanaugh, TRC’s vice president of IT/OT integration.

From integrated planning to power flow model-driven DER valuation and market animation, GridOS performs advanced distributed energy analytics and executes constraint management actions while optimizing available grid resources and maximizing capacity.

"We are excited to partner with TRC, especially as more and more utilities navigate the complex path to decentralized systems powered by renewable energy," says Joshua Wong, president and CEO of Opus One Solutions. "Our combined expertise in world class services with leading edge analytics will enable that transition for utilities and help them thrive in a sustainable energy future."
