GRID INTELLIGENCE FOR MODERN UTILITIES

See the curve.
Bend it. Balance the grid.

Curva turns fragmented AMI, GIS, SCADA and billing data into one grid intelligence layer — so distribution utilities can see feeder stress before it happens, and turn rising DER growth into an operating advantage instead of an operating risk.

■ raw feeder telemetry — fragmented, unread — curva grid intelligence layer
The problem

Different symptoms.
One missing layer.

Wherever solar and DER penetration outruns grid visibility, the same pattern shows up — fragmented systems, no unified view, and stress that compounds quietly until it's expensive.

01

Visibility gaps

No unified real-time view of feeder or transformer stress across AMI, GIS, SCADA and billing.

02

Renewable strain

Rising solar penetration causing voltage rise, phase imbalance, reverse power flow.

03

EV blind spots

No visibility into EV charging timing, location, or concentration on the feeder.

04

Storage uncertainty

No data-driven approach to siting battery storage or community storage.

05

Untapped flexibility

Controllable loads — pumps, HVAC, water heaters — with no coordination.

06

Program gaps

No structured way to design, deploy, or settle demand response and DER programs.

These aren't separate problems. They're symptoms of a missing planning and operational process for managing distributed energy resources.

As rooftop solar, EV charging, storage, and flexible demand grow, utilities need a systematic way to assess impacts, identify constraints, evaluate alternatives, deploy flexibility programs, and measure results.

How Curva helps

Turning DER growth
into operating advantage.

Curva gives planners and operators a shared view of where the grid is changing, then adds forecasting, analytics and optimization — so they can identify constraints, evaluate flexibility options, and trigger the right response before it becomes a cost.

01 / SEE IT

Build the visibility

Feeder- and asset-level visibility into where load, DER growth, voltage stress, reverse flow and flexibility are emerging across the grid.

02 / PREDICT IT

Get ahead of constraints

Forecast where renewable generation, EV demand and load growth will create constraints — before they appear in operations.

03 / SHAPE IT

Design the response

Design, simulate, deploy and settle demand response, DER and flexibility programs across feeders, customer groups and operating zones.

04 / ACT IN REAL TIME

Dispatch what matters

Dispatch EV charging, storage, inverters or flexible demand to reduce peaks, manage voltage and relieve feeder constraints.

Grid transformation journey

From passive delivery
to active orchestration

Curva's platform philosophy moves a utility through five capability stages, each widening in scope as metering and data maturity grow.

01 / DIGITIZE

Capture the grid

Bring the network's raw state into digital form for the first time.

AMI · SCADA
GIS mapping
Billing / CIS · OMS
02 / INTEGRATE

Connect the dots

Unify systems that were never designed to talk to each other.

Unified grid data model
Topology model
Data lake & pipelines
03 / ANALYZE

Know your gaps

Turn raw data into a real picture of feeder-level capacity and health.

Hosting capacity

04 / PREDICT

Stay ahead of the curve

Forecast demand, generation, and asset risk before they materialize.

Load / RE forecasting
Asset failure prediction
Growth scenarios
05 / OPTIMIZE

Shape the curve

Move from watching the grid to actively directing it.

How it works

Two pillars. One loop.

Under the hood, that operating advantage runs on one architecture, not a single black-box control layer: understanding the grid, and acting on it, built as one continuous loop.

Pillar 01

Understand

Operational data — AMI, SCADA, billing, GIS
Grid data model — network & asset topology
Grid analytics — feeder, DT, consumer, DER level
Grid intelligence — planning, operational, customer
Pillar 02

Coordinate & Act

DERMS — DER, EV and storage control
Volt-VAR optimization — voltage & loss reduction
DR / DSM programs — demand flexibility
Forecast-led scheduling

Understanding shapes action. Field results continuously refine that understanding. Neither pillar works without the other.

How we engage

Start with insight. Scale with evidence

Each stage produces something real before asking for the next commitment.

PHASE 1

Consultancy & diagnostic

~12 weeks · Discover → Design → Define → Deliver

Current-state assessment, AMI readiness report, RE integration gap analysis, and a phased implementation plan with cost-benefit modeling.

PHASE 2

Pilot deployment

Defined feeder or circle scope

Live dashboards and integrated data across AMI, GIS, SCADA and billing — proving measurable value on real data before scaling.

PHASE 3

Scaled rollout

Phased, sequenced to metering & regulation

Expansion across circles and regions, with full DERMS deployment sequenced to your AMI rollout and regulatory timeline.

A Pattern We Keep Seeing

When DER growth outpaces grid visibility

This illustrates a challenge increasingly faced by distribution utilities. Distributed energy resources are growing faster than the systems used to plan, coordinate, and manage them.

Let's talk

The grid is changing faster than traditional planning cycles.

Curva helps utilities understand where flexibility, DER growth, and emerging constraints will appear so they can act before costly grid upgrades become the only option.
