6B works with transmission operators, distribution network operators (DNOs), municipal utilities, DER aggregators, and multi-utility providers to connect digital applications with GridOS’s cloud-ready ecosystem. Using APIs, event-driven workflows, CIM-based models, IEC protocols, microservices, and high-performance data pipelines, we enable seamless data exchange between GridOS and your wider operational environment. From discovery through to deployment and long-term support, we deliver robust integrations that drive resilience, flexibility, and operational efficiency.
Understanding GE GridOS
GE GridOS is an advanced grid orchestration platform designed to unify operational data, distributed energy resource (DER) intelligence, control centre operations, and grid analytics into a single, interoperable ecosystem. Built for modern utilities, GridOS supports distribution management (ADMS), DER management (DERMS), outage management (OMS), advanced forecasting, network modelling, optimisation, and real-time grid automation.
GridOS is cloud-native and supports integration through REST APIs, streaming data interfaces, IEC protocols, CIM-based data exchange, and modular microservices. It enables interoperable connections with SCADA systems, AMI networks, GIS platforms, DER aggregators, smart inverter systems, digital twins, forecasting tools, and enterprise data lakes. Its open architecture allows utilities to break down silos between OT and IT, enabling better decision-making, improved situational awareness, and faster response across grid operations.
Our GE GridOS Integration Process
Every GridOS integration project begins with a detailed discovery phase where we align with your operational, regulatory, and technology requirements. Whether you need to synchronise real-time grid data, integrate DER systems, feed advanced analytics, enhance outage response, or modernise OT–IT data flows, we map your objectives to GridOS APIs, protocols, and data models.
Our architects design a secure, resilient integration architecture using APIs, IEC 61850/60870 protocols, CIM mappings, microservices, event streams, or high-performance ETL pipelines depending on the use case. We also analyse key non-functional requirements such as latency, reliability, redundancy, cybersecurity, and data governance.
During development, we leverage our library of reusable components — protocol adapters, CIM data transformers, validation layers, event processors, and monitoring dashboards — to accelerate delivery and ensure consistent quality. Testing includes functional validation, performance benchmarking, cybersecurity checks, failover simulation, and end-to-end workflow verification.
When ready, we manage deployment in close coordination with your operational and control teams to ensure safe, uninterrupted service. After going live, we provide continuous monitoring, optimisation, and lifecycle support to keep your integration stable, secure, and aligned with evolving regulations and system upgrades.
Benefits of GE GridOS Integration
Integrating your systems with GridOS delivers significant operational, strategic, and customer-facing benefits. Real-time visibility of grid conditions enhances situational awareness, enabling faster fault detection, improved outage response, and more accurate prediction of network challenges. Integration with DER devices and aggregators improves orchestration of flexible resources, helping utilities manage variability, maintain stability, and reduce operational costs.
Automation of data flows reduces manual intervention, improves data accuracy, and strengthens compliance with regulatory and operational standards. GridOS’s analytics and forecasting capabilities are unlocked when integrated with enterprise systems, supporting predictive maintenance, asset optimisation, and enhanced capacity planning.
Customers benefit from improved reliability, fewer outages, and transparent service communications. For utilities, GridOS integration supports the broader digital transformation agenda—including smart grids, decarbonisation strategies, flexibility markets, and distributed energy integration.

Readiness Checklist for GE GridOS Integration
- Define the operational and analytical workflows your integration must support (e.g. real-time telemetry, DER coordination, outage intelligence, forecasting data).
- Confirm your organisation’s data governance, security standards, and regulatory requirements.
- Identify which GridOS modules, APIs, protocols, or CIM interfaces align with your goals.
- Determine the required data exchange patterns — real-time streaming, event-driven messages, or scheduled synchronisation.
- Prepare a high-level system map detailing upstream and downstream systems and required OT–IT data flows.
- Establish performance, redundancy, and cybersecurity requirements for integration within your control environment.
