Fort Collins, CO – March 25, 2025 – For the highly anticipated, annual DistribuTECH event held this upcoming week in Dallas, TX that brings together thousands of leaders in the utility sector, Lanner Electronics, a global provider of high-performance edge computing hardware solutions, and Spirae, LLC, a leader in energy infrastructure digitization and decarbonization are partnering to showcase the role of edge-intelligence in grid management. This collaboration will combine Spirae’s advanced Distributed Energy Resource (DER) management software with Lanner’s robust edge computing devices to deliver transformative solutions for the utility sector. Together, they aim to empower utilities to optimize grid performance, enhance energy efficiency, and improve decision-making at the edge of the grid.
A Combined Solution for Today and Tomorrow: Innovation at the Edge
The collaboration between Spirae and Lanner marks a pivotal moment for grid-edge technologies, combining Spirae’s powerful DER management software with Lanner’s advanced edge-compute hardware to create an integrated solution that addresses the challenges facing utilities today and in the future. As the energy landscape evolves with increasing amounts of decentralized energy resources, such as renewable energy sources and battery storage systems, managing grid stability and efficiency becomes more complex. Meanwhile, customer are installing their own DERs to gain more control over their own energy infrastructure.
The integration of Spirae’s Wave software with Lanner’s edge computing devices offers real-time data processing at the edge of the grid, enabling utilities to make faster, more informed decisions. By processing data closer to its source, the solution reduces latency and improves system responsiveness, enhancing grid management, microgrid optimization, and energy dispatch.
Together, Spirae and Lanner provide a dynamic, scalable architecture that supports renewable energy integration and offers the flexibility to handle the complexities of a rapidly evolving energy grid, ensuring greater efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
