Survalent Enhances Helix Time-Series Historian for Unified DER Coordination

Survalent's New Innovations in Smart Utilities

Survalent, a frontrunner in operational technology solutions for utilities, has unveiled significant enhancements to its SurvalentONE platform. These upgrades are essential for utilities grappling with mounting operational data and the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into their systems. With the introduction of the Helix Time-Series Historian, Survalent is leading the way in providing essential historical insight and improving DER coordination.

The Launch of Helix Time-Series Historian

One of the standout features of this launch is SurvalentONE Helix, a Time-Series Historian designed to adeptly manage substantial high-frequency operational data within the Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS). This new capability ensures that utilities can access detailed operational history, enabling a more profound understanding of system behavior over time.

Helix consolidates historical data from the ADMS platform, allowing utilities to conduct a thorough review of grid behavior while instilling confidence in operational decisions. Notably, this can benefit critical functions such as post-event analyses, event-based operational sequencing, and long-term reliability assessment across substations and feeders. Furthermore, all historical data gathered can be visualized through SurvalentONE Live, a secure web-based interface that facilitates easy dashboard creation without the need for complex programming. This accessibility broadens the scope of operational insights, enabling better collaboration across engineering and management teams while still upholding stringent security protocols.

Enhancements to DERMS for Better Resource Integration

In response to the growing deployment of DERs, Survalent has also enhanced its DER Management System (DERMS). These upgrades now allow for improved orchestration and integration of behind-the-meter (BTM) DERs using the IEEE 2030.5 standard. This standard serves as a secure communication protocol between utilities and customer-side DER aggregators, enabling regulated interaction without undermining utility control over grid operations.

This enhancement not only aligns with the societal shift towards more DER-centric distribution system models, but it also ensures that utilities can reliably incorporate aggregated BTM data into their operational frameworks. The focus on open standards facilitates the integration of diverse resources while maintaining operational oversight, thus promoting the transition from traditional Distribution Network Operator (DNO) to more modern Distribution System Operator (DSO) frameworks.

Preparing for DTECH 2026

Utilities and stakeholders can explore these innovations firsthand at DTECH 2026, where Survalent will showcase the full suite of SurvalentONE products. Attendees will have the opportunity to witness how Helix captures operational time-series data and how this data informs responsive operational practices in real-world scenarios. The presentation of how DERMS operates within real grid contexts, compliant with the IEEE 2030.5 framework, promises to illustrate the potential of modernization in utility management.

Survalent's commitment to excellence is underscored by their extensive user base, serving over 800 utilities across 40 countries and providing integrated solutions that optimize operational efficiency and enhance customer satisfaction. As the energy landscape continues to evolve, tools like SurvalentONE Helix and DERMS are critical to developing resilient and reliable utility operations.
