Silicon Grid Announces Next-Generation Sandbox for Grid Automation and Flexibility Markets

Silicon Grid is proud to introduce the Silicon Grid Sandbox, a cutting-edge simulation environment designed to accelerate the development, testing, and deployment of Active Network Management (ANM), Distributed Energy Resource Management (DERMS), and Flexibility Market solutions.

The cloud-hosted, highly configurable Sandbox enables utilities, DSOs, TSOs, aggregators, and market participants to model, test, and optimize their network operations and market interactions in a secure, risk-free setting.

Key Benefits:

• Accelerated Innovation – Rapidly prototype and refine ANM strategies, DER aggregation models, and flexibility services without disrupting live operations.

• Configurable & Scalable – Simulate real-world grid conditions and expand capabilities as market and regulatory needs evolve.

• Optimized Investment Planning – Compare grid reinforcement vs. flexibility procurement, reducing CAPEX and improving long-term planning.

• Market Integration & Trading – Test new market structures, flexibility procurement models, and dynamic pricing strategies before real-world deployment.

• Data-Driven Decision-Making – Leverage real-time performance analytics and predictive modelling for smarter grid operations.

With a modular approach, the Silicon Grid Sandbox supports users at all stages—from foundational ANM training to advanced flexibility market operations. As energy networks transition towards higher renewables and decentralized resources, the Sandbox provides a proven platform for unlocking greater efficiency, resilience, and cost savings.
