Interoperability Secures the Future
The energy transition is not standing still, and neither should the systems powering it.
Every year brings new inverter models, control standards, and market rules. Hybrid resources that were rare a few years ago are now essential parts of modern grid portfolios. What separates projects that thrive from those that struggle is interoperability, the ability to evolve, connect, and communicate across technologies, vendors, and time.
The Grid Is Changing. Your System Should Too
When today’s battery projects were first designed, most were built for a single application, such as frequency regulation, demand response, or renewable integration. Now those same systems are expected to perform stacked services, support hybrid operations, and meet evolving interconnection standards.
That is why interoperability has become a strategic necessity.
At Doosan GridTech, we design and validate systems to grow with the grid. Our control platforms and engineering processes provide the open architecture and modular framework that allow storage systems to integrate new assets, vendors, and protocols without costly redesigns or downtime.
This interoperability philosophy is not just part of our software; it is embedded in how we test and refine every solution we deliver.
Proving Interoperability Through the VoC Lab
To ensure every control and integration approach performs as intended, Doosan GridTech operates our Voice of the Customer (VoC) Lab, a real-time, Controller-Hardware-in-the-Loop (C-HIL) testing environment.
Here, we replicate customer configurations and grid conditions to validate communication, safety, and control logic before deployment. This hands-on, customer-centered process helps us:
Confirm compatibility across multiple OEMs and communication standards.
Test hybrid scenarios involving solar, wind, and storage assets.
Fine-tune controller responses for evolving grid codes and utility requirements.
Through the VoC Lab, interoperability is not just a design principle; it is a proven capability.
Open Architecture: The Foundation of Flexibility
Closed systems often promise simplicity but limit future growth. Proprietary control architectures can make upgrades expensive, slow, and vendor-dependent.
Doosan GridTech takes the opposite approach. Our open, standards-based integration framework empowers utilities, developers, and IPPs to choose the technologies that best fit their evolving needs.
Vendor-agnostic control: Seamlessly coordinate equipment from multiple suppliers within one control environment.
Hybrid compatibility: Manage storage alongside solar, wind, and generators through unified dispatch logic.
Future-ready compliance: Adapt quickly to new IEEE, UL, and regional grid standards.
When your system architecture is open, your investment remains flexible and future-focused.
Designing for What Comes Next
Interoperability ensures longevity not only in hardware but in investment value. A project designed for adaptability today will continue to deliver value as markets, technologies, and regulations evolve.
Grid operators and asset owners cannot predict every change, but they can prepare for it. By building systems that are validated in real-world testing environments like our VoC Lab, Doosan GridTech helps ensure that each solution is ready for what is next.
From Integration to Intelligence to Interoperability
Throughout the Beyond the Battery series, we have explored how integration defines reliability, analytics drive profitability, and interoperability secures the future.
Together, these three pillars form the foundation of Doosan GridTech’s approach to energy storage: building intelligent, adaptable systems that perform reliably today and evolve intelligently tomorrow.
