Plexigrid: Reinventing electricity grids for the energy transition

11/30/23 • 25 min

In this episode of InnoStation, we sit down with Alberto Mendes Rebollo, CEO and co-founder of Plexigrid, a trailblazing company redefining electricity distribution for the energy transition. Alberto enlightens us on the current challenges of electrical grids, particularly with the shift towards decentralized and variable renewable energy sources.

The distribution networks, which transport power from the outskirts of a city to households, are immensely more complex than the transmission network, with tens or even hundreds of millions of nodes. And below 20,000 volts, the system operators are essentially blind, without real-time network data or power flow computations.

Join us as we discuss Plexigrid's innovative approach for managing the complex dynamics of modern power systems, focusing on the three core 'superpowers' any distrubution grid should have: real-time visibility across the grid, advanced real-time analytics, and the ability to dynamically manage energy flexibility.

This episode is a deep dive into the future of energy distribution, guided by one of the leading minds in the field!

OPTIML: Digitalizing real estate investment for sustainability

We are back for Season 2 :)
Meet Jordi Campos, the co-founder of OPTIML, a software platform that's completely reshaping the real estate management landscape. OPTIML harnesses the power of advanced optimization algorithms and equips asset and portfolio owners to make intelligent, cost-effective, and CO2-conscious decision-making.
Urban spaces are pivotal to our daily lives yet significantly contribute to global CO2 emissions. With buildings accounting for around 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions and 40% of energy consumption, OPTIML’s mission is critical.
Jordi's insights offer a fresh perspective on how we can transform our buildings into assets for a cleaner future, the hurdles faced by real estate companies, and the ambition for OPTIML to inform city-wide sustainability strategies.
