Modernizing Grid Operations Through Modular, Event‑Driven Architecture

A core principle behind MCCS is the transformation of traditionally monolithic grid‑operations software into modular, interoperable products that communicate through an event‑driven architecture. This approach enables true “separation of concerns,” allowing each component to focus on its essential function while remaining fully decoupled from the rest of the system. We disaggregate functionality wherever there is strong potential for reuse — or where legacy architectures limit access to critical data and capabilities.

With this philosophy, we are re‑engineering what was once a vertically integrated SCADA system into a suite of specialized products and modules for data acquisition, monitoring, control, alarming, and more. Each component becomes a standalone asset that can be reused across applications, customer segments, and value‑chain scenarios. When a module needs to be upgraded or replaced, it can be done independently, without disrupting other parts of the system. All products communicate via a shared event‑streaming platform, ensuring fast, consistent, and reliable data exchange.

By breaking down grid‑operations capabilities into discrete business functions, modularization eliminates the need for new monolithic applications. Each product delivers only what it is uniquely designed to do: receive data, process it, and return insights or operational outputs. This approach also makes it easier to identify overlapping responsibilities across the value chain, enabling cleaner architecture and more scalable digital operations.

Powered by the Grid Asset and System Platform (GrASP)

This modular ecosystem is built on top of the Grid Asset and System Platform (GrASP) — our unified, foundational software platform designed to accelerate innovation and ensure consistent, enterprise‑grade performance across all MCCS and partner solutions. GrASP standardizes essential capabilities such as data management, time‑series processing, and shared operational modules, enabling teams to build new products faster, more efficiently, and with lower long‑term cost.
Serving as the digital backbone of our system‑operations landscape, GrASP ensures that every product can benefit from shared improvements while maintaining the flexibility needed to evolve. It delivers a future‑ready architecture that supports secure, efficient, and resilient grid management for decades to come.
