WHY NOW?
Distribution grids are becoming more complex. Visibility is not keeping pace.
Electrification, EV charging, distributed solar generation, heat pumps, and growing connection requests are transforming low-voltage distribution networks.
As new loads and distributed energy resources are added to the grid, operating conditions become more dynamic, less predictable, and increasingly difficult to manage.
Yet many utilities still have limited visibility into what is happening across the low-voltage network. As a result, connection approvals, congestion management, reinforcement planning, and investment decisions are often based on assumptions rather than real grid behavior.
Without better visibility, utilities risk:
- underutilizing existing grid capacity
- delaying customer connections
- increasing reinforcement costs
- missing opportunities to integrate distributed energy resources more efficiently

WHAT IS SYMBIOT TWINNER?
A digital twin for low-voltage grid understanding
Symbiot Twinner creates a continuously updated digital twin of the low-voltage grid by combining data from smart meters, GIS systems, and operational platforms into a single intelligent model.
Built on a multi-layered modelling architecture that combines physics-based models, machine learning, and advanced analytics, it helps utilities understand grid behaviour, simulate future scenarios, and make more informed decisions.
BUILT ON YOUR EXISTING SYSTEMS
Enhance, not replace, your infrastructure
Symbiot Twinner integrates with existing utility systems, including smart meters, GIS platforms, HES, MDM, and other operational systems.
Rather than replacing existing infrastructure, it connects and enriches existing data sources to create a single source of truth for grid intelligence.
01
Unified grid data
Connecting AMI, GIS, and operational systems
into one coherent grid model.
02
Low-voltage grid
visibility
Providing insight into grid behavior,
constraints, voltage issues, and overloads.
03
Scenario-based
simulation
Supporting planning and operational
decisions by simulating how the grid
behaves across different scenarios.
Symbiot Twinner combines three key capabilities
required to understand, plan, and operate the modern
low-voltage grid.
From better insight to better outcomes
01
Managing high penetration of solar and EVs
Understand how distributed energy resources impact grid behavior and identify constraints before they become operational problems.
02
Handling growing connection requests
Evaluate grid capacity and simulate the impact of new connections before decisions are made.
03
Optimizing grid investments
Identify where reinforcement is truly
required and where existing capacity
can be used more effectively.
04
Improving low-voltage visibility
Move from assumptions to real data in planning,
operations, and network development.
