Zaphiro is an innovative smart grid company based in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Milan, Italy, that was founded in 2017 as a spin-off from EPFL and is backed by well-renowned international groups such as ABB and CDP Ventures.

Our product, SynchroGuard, is the first distribution grid monitoring & automation system based on D-PMU (Distribution-Phasor Measurement Unit) technology, specifically designed to easily retrofit distribution substations and integrate with existing control room solutions (e.g., SCADA, DMS). SynchroGuard helps utilities increase grid observability, particularly in the presence of high DER penetration, and improve grid resiliency by reducing the impact of blackouts on their consumers.

With over 180 D-PMU devices installed in the field, our solution is currently deployed with more than 10 DSOs, TSOs & microgrid operators in Europe, the Middle East, and the US, such as Romande Energie, Netze BW, Unareti, DEWA, and ComEd.
