Curva — Turning DER Growth into Operating Advantage
Curva is a Distribution DERMS platform giving DISCOMs feeder-level visibility, forecasting, and control over solar, EVs, and storage. It unifies AMI/GIS/SCADA data, flags voltage/capacity constraints before they occur, and dispatches DER and demand-response programs — cloud-deployed on existing utility infrastructure, extendable with edge hardware.

The Problem
Distribution utilities are being asked to absorb solar, EV charging, and storage faster than their planning and operating practices can adapt. This shows up as voltage rise, reverse power flow, phase imbalance, new peaks, and flexibility that goes unused — not because the grid lacks capacity, but because utilities can't translate changing field conditions into timely decisions. DR and DER programs stay hard to design, deploy, and settle when the underlying workflows are manual and fragmented.
How Curva Creates Operating Advantage
Curva gives planners and operators a shared, real-time view of where the grid is changing, then adds the forecasting, analytics, and optimization needed to convert that visibility into action:
- See it — feeder- and asset-level visibility into load, DER growth, voltage stress, reverse flow, and flexibility as they emerge
- Predict it — forecast where renewable generation, EV demand, and load growth will create constraints before they appear in operations
- Shape it — design, simulate, deploy, and settle demand response, DER, and flexibility programs across feeders, customer groups, and operating zones
- Act on it — dispatch EV charging, storage, inverters, or flexible demand in real time to reduce peaks, manage voltage, and relieve feeder constraints
