VIOTAS Secures Second U.S. Patent: Powering the Future of the Smart Grid
We are proud to announce that VIOTAS has been granted its second U.S. patent – a milestone that underscores our commitment to solving one of the world’s most urgent challenges: Building a cleaner, more reliable, more intelligent grid.
Our patented platform, VIO Link, is the engine behind this vision. Built to adapt, scale, and respond in real time, it enables everything from precision power monitoring to distributed grid control, turning flexibility into opportunity.
With the establishment of VIOTAS Texas and a growing presence in ERCOT, we are bringing our innovation to the U.S. energy landscape, where grid reliability and agility are more important than ever. This patent marks a significant step forward in our mission, both in the U.S. and around the world. VIOTAS technology is now deployed across three continents, delivering grid services in markets that are navigating the challenges of decarbonization, decentralization and digital transformation.
About VIO Link
As a modular IoT metering and control system, VIO Link provides automatic monitoring of electric grid health for the delivery of high-speed frequency response system services.
VIO Link Power Meter produces high-resolution and high-accuracy frequency data and works in conjunction with Relay module to deliver a response to a frequency disturbance on the grid in less than 100 milliseconds. The advanced Multi-Constellation Satellite timing implemented in the system means that frequency and power readings across a portfolio of devices can be easily combined to give a comprehensive picture of the grid state and an accurate measurement of availability and response.
The system has built-in algorithms monitoring device health and implemented procedures for self-recovery in the rare case of a fault. The Gateway module enables secure connectivity through Wi-Fi, LTE and Ethernet. This facilitates installations across a large range of site types and locations. The VIO Link was developed based on our extensive experience in using commercially available solutions and understanding the limitations that such solutions had in operating in the newer Fast Frequency Ancillary Services being introduced to facilitate higher non-synchronous generation.
