Michael De Vivo, DEPsys co-founders and venturelab alumni, obtained his Master of science in engineering at HEIG-VD in 2011. He launched DEPsys with Joël Jaton and Guillaume Besson. They try to prevent failures on the low-voltage grid, thanks to a new product, called IGI module. This module will help the stabilization of the low-voltage grid profile, making use of the DER (Distributed Energy Resources) inverters Real and Reactive Power capabilities.
