Technology is Advancing, and So is DVI: EDGE® 3.0 Powered by MongoDB


SEPTEMBER 22, 2026   |   RICHMOND, VA, UNITED STATES

DVI Grid Solutions announced today that EDGE® 3.0, its next-generation Advanced Voltage Optimization (AVO) platform, is built on MongoDB, a modern NoSQL database designed to support the future of utility grid operations.

Electric utilities face growing complexity from distributed energy resources (DERs), electric vehicles, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), and grid modernization initiatives. The need for a flexible, scalable, and intelligent data platform has never been greater. MongoDB provides the foundation necessary to help utilities manage increasing data volumes while delivering enhanced operational intelligence and grid optimization capabilities.

Why MongoDB?


The evolution of EDGE® 3.0 required a database platform capable of supporting:

  • Frequent updates and data changes
  • Flexible indexed queries
  • Advanced analytics and aggregation
  • Continuous application evolution
  • Cloud-native and Kubernetes environments
  • Simplified operations and administration
  • Balanced read and write performance
  • Scalable deployments from small utilities to large enterprise systems


MongoDB’s document-oriented architecture aligns closely with these requirements, enabling DVI to build a more agile and future-ready platform for voltage optimization and grid intelligence.


“The electric utility industry is transforming rapidly, and our technology platform must evolve with it. 

MongoDB provides the flexibility, scalability, and performance required to support the next generation of Advanced Voltage Optimization. This investment ensures that EDGE® 3.0 remains a powerful and innovative solution for utilities pursuing operational excellence and grid modernization.”

— Stephen Tyler, Director at DVI Grid Solutions


Supporting the Next Generation of Grid Optimization

EDGE® 3.0 continuously analyzes and optimizes distribution system performance by leveraging data from smart meters, sensors, capacitor banks, voltage regulators, SCADA systems, and distributed energy resources. 

MongoDB enables the platform to efficiently manage complex utility data while
supporting advanced analytics that help utilities:

  • Unlock hidden capacity
  • Increase Conservation Voltage
    Reduction (CVR) benefits
  • Reduce energy losses
  • Improve voltage profiles
  • Enhance reliability
  • Improve operational visibility
  • Support DER integration
  • Accelerate grid modernization initiatives

MongoDB provides the flexibility needed to evolve alongside changing utility requirements. Its modern architecture supports rapid application innovation, efficient data management, and streamlined deployment in both on-premises and cloud environments.

The move to MongoDB positions EDGE® 3.0 for continued growth by providing:

  • A more adaptable deployment model
  • Predictable recovery and resiliency
  • Flexible access to application data
  • Native analytics capabilities
  • Reduced data complexity

The adoption of MongoDB represents more than a database decision—it reflects DVI Grid Solutions’ commitment to continuously advancing the EDGE® platform and delivering the next generation of intelligent solutions for utility voltage optimization and grid modernization.
