Analog Devices, and Gridspertise have announced a collaboration to advance the resiliency and quality of smart grids around the world.
The collaboration enables the development of new hardware and software that support distribution grid self-healing and adaptation in response to the significant changes in energy supply and demand as renewable energy sources are brought online.
The joint effort is built on the long-term smart meters and grid digitalization solutions collaboration between ADI and Enel over the last fifteen years.

Today, ADI is working with Gridspertise to deliver even more precise and accurate measurement and monitoring capabilities through real-time data. This results in enhanced grid reliability, thanks to faster response times, improved resiliency, and higher quality of service to customers, while allowing utilities to improve their operational efficiency and a rapid transition to clean energy as well as enabling flexibility services. The technologies are suitable for the enhancement of legacy infrastructures of different geographies and life stage, and do not require costly rebuilds; also, they minimize the environmental impact of the assets, making digitalization a key driver for more sustainable power distribution grids.
Gridspertise is a subsidiary of the Enel Group, providing cutting-edge sustainable solutions to distribution system operators.
ADI’s power and precision technologies also deliver enhanced analog-to-digital conversion, protection, precise measurement, metrology, and isolation capability for the QEd – Quantum Edge® device, Gridspertise’s groundbreaking solution at the heart of the digitalization ofsecondary substations. This solution is a first in the industry to fully virtualize the physical components of secondary substations, turning them into customizable edge applications, while enabling new use cases and improved management of key grid functionalities.
