DVI Grid Solutions Unveils EDGE® 3.0: The Next Evolution in Grid Optimization
DVI Grid Solutions is proud to announce EDGE® 3.0, the latest generation of its industry-leading Advanced Voltage Optimization (AVO) platform. Designed to help utilities navigate increasing grid complexity, growing distributed energy resource (DER) adoption, and evolving operational demands, EDGE® 3.0 delivers a modern technology foundation built for the future of utility operations.
A key enhancement in EDGE® 3.0 is the transition to MongoDB, a modern, scalable NoSQL database that strengthens system performance, resiliency, and long-term flexibility. This strategic modernization provides utilities with a more robust platform while creating the foundation for future innovation.
According to Stephen Tyler, Director of DVI Grid Solutions, the move represents a significant milestone in the platform’s evolution.
“EDGE® has always been focused on helping utilities optimize grid performance while maintaining reliability,” Tyler said. “With EDGE® 3.0, we are introducing a modern technology foundation that enables utilities to address emerging challenges while supporting future innovation.”
Flexible Deployment for Utilities of All Sizes
EDGE® 3.0 expands deployment options with a new AWS-hosted cloud offering that reduces local infrastructure requirements through a streamlined On-Premises Controller (OPC). The cloud architecture helps utilities lower IT overhead while establishing a pathway toward future multi-tenant cloud deployments, providing enhanced scalability and a lower total cost of ownership.
Turning Data Into Action
Another major enhancement is the new EDGE® Analytics Dashboard, which delivers continuous visibility into system performance and Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) outcomes. Utilities can now monitor results, validate savings, and gain actionable insights that support operational and financial objectives.
“This isn’t simply about reporting historical information,” Tyler added. “It’s about providing utilities with real-time visibility and operational control that delivers measurable value to customers and stakeholders.”
Built on Utility Experience
For nearly two decades, DVI has helped electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, and investor-owned utilities improve reliability, reduce energy consumption, lower emissions, and increase operational flexibility through advanced voltage optimization technologies. From early deployments at Central Lincoln to over twenty implementations across North America, DVI has continued to evolve alongside the changing needs of the electric utility industry.
Today, DVI Grid Solutions is recognized as a trusted partner in grid modernization, delivering solutions developed by utility professionals who understand the real-world challenges of operating an electric grid.
