Capacity by dcbel Company Unveils Innovative Energy Solutions

At the forefront of energy innovation, Capacity, a division of dcbel, has made its debut at Distributech 2025 in Dallas. This pioneering event is a breeding ground for innovative ideas in the rapidly expanding world of distributed energy resources (DERs). As solar panels, bidirectional electric vehicles (EVs), and home batteries become increasingly prevalent, they bring both opportunities and challenges for grid operators and energy providers.

Empowering Energy Stakeholders

Capacity's mission is clear: to equip grid operators, utilities, and other energy stakeholders with tools to better understand and manage their networks. By unlocking next-generation orchestration of DERs, Capacity aims to create new revenue streams and enhance grid reliability in this period of electrification and decarbonization. The technology promises to streamline energy management and foster better decision-making through improved situational awareness.

One of the key features of Capacity is its Parallel Home Energy Digital Twin, which simulates how different homes will utilize energy within a defined territory. This unique tool harnesses real-time meter data and various synthetic energy profiles to provide highly accurate forecasts of energy usage at a local level. By helping grid operators visualize potential energy flows, it is therefore instrumental in planning and executing effective energy strategies.

Enhancing Visibility and Control

Another exciting aspect of Capacity lies in its Control Room and Technical Aggregator, which facilitates real-time visibility over transactions involving DERs. This capability addresses a common challenge where end-users often struggle to manage their energy use effectively. With its intuitive API, Capacity brings together thousands of DER assets to enable seamless interactions between consumers, grid operators, and utilities.

Security is paramount for Capacity’s operations. The technology comes equipped with robust cybersecurity measures, ensuring the secure exchange of data from the grid edge to central control rooms. Compliance with industry regulations like IEEE 2030.5 and protocols such as OpenADR underscores Capacity's commitment to reliability and safety in energy management.

The Future of Energy Management

Laurent Schmitt, CEO of Capacity, remarked on the pressing need for innovative solutions in the energy sector. "As the adoption of renewable energies increases, we must provide operators and stakeholders with not just visibility, but actionable intelligence to optimize their networks," he stated. This philosophy resonates throughout Capacity’s offerings, which prioritize user control while automating complex transactions associated with energy flexibility.

As society continues to shift towards a decentralized energy landscape, Capacity is positioned to lead the charge by bridging the gap between technological potential and practical application in everyday energy management. The solutions showcased at Distributech 2025 are just the beginning of what promises to be a transformative journey for energy consumers and providers alike.
