Demand Response

Purpose-built infrastructure for grid-scale flexibility services. Trusted by the world's leading aggregators to deliver reliable, auditable demand-side response at scale.

100ms

Frequency response time. React to grid events in under a tenth of a second.

Class 0.5S

Revenue-grade metering accuracy. Trusted for settlement and compliance.

20ms

High-speed event recording with GPS/GNSS time synchronisation for full audit trails.

1-Second

Cloud data streaming. Real-time visibility into every asset in your portfolio.

ZDR-2X Demand Response Controller

Sub-Second Frequency Response

The ZDR-2X is purpose-built for grid services—not a general-purpose device repurposed for demand response. It combines Class 0.5S metering, frequency response, relay switching, and GPS time sync in a single IP67 waterproof enclosure.

100ms frequency response for static and dynamic grid services
20ms high-speed event recording with GPS/GNSS time synchronisation
4A/250VAC relay switching with Modbus and CANbus connectivity

Verified Curtailment

Revenue-Grade Measurement

Every kilowatt-hour matters when revenue depends on accurate settlement. The ZEM-63 delivers Class 0.5S metering accuracy to IEC 62053-22 standards, giving aggregators and grid operators the verified data they need for compliance and payment.

Product Range

Three variants for every grid service

The ZDR-2X family covers the full spectrum of demand-side response requirements, from basic relay switching to advanced battery energy storage system integration.

ZDR-20

Static frequency response with relay switching. The foundation for standard demand-side response programmes. Class 0.5S metering, 100ms frequency response, and 4A/250VAC relay output.
