Challenges

The ongoing energy transition, fueled by the integration of renewable energy sources, a growing fleet of electric vehicles, and the shift from fossil-fuel-based heating to electric heat pumps, is exerting tremendous pressure on today’s electrical grids.

This pressure is especially pronounced on low-voltage grids, which are at the forefront of the energy transition. The management and effective distribution of energy in the face of these challenges are becoming increasingly complex.

This underscores the critical necessity of transitioning to a smarter, more efficient, and more reliable smart grid for tomorrow. At the heart of this transformation lies the growing digital revolution, where data assumes paramount importance and modern information and communication technology converges with operational technology. This integration is what will ultimately empower the smart grid to truly become smart.

Introducing Symbiot Twinner

SYMBIOT Twinner, AI powered grid digitalisation platform, is a revolutionary solution developed in close collaboration with Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and AI experts.

The SYMBIOT Twinner features a digital twin of the entire grid, driven by smart metering data. These digital replicas of the physical grid can be continuously trained in near real-time, assimilating a constantly increasing volume of data. They serve as invaluable decision-support tools for various departments within DSOs.

SYMBIOT Twinner excels at aggregating, visualizing, analyzing, and learning from data derived from diverse legacy systems, such as EAM, GIS, ERP, AMI, real-time sensors, and more.

Notably, SYMBIOT Twinner is built upon a unique combination of graph and time-series database engine, allowing it to scale effortlessly to encompass millions of grid elements and billions of metering point measurements annually. This versatility positions SYMBIOT Twinner as a robust data lake solution.

Benefits

Individualized consumer insights

SYMBIOT Twinner utilizes state-of-the-art machine learning to predict and understand the consumption behavior of each consumer individually.

Proactive grid management

With its built-in power flow calculation, SYMBIOT Twinner can predict and alert grid operators about potential overloads and other critical grid issues.

Advanced grid simulation

The solution employs advanced simulation methods to evaluate grid reconfigurations, aiding in the planning of maintenance actions and anticipating their impacts on cable load, voltage, and more.

Custom load simulation

SYMBIOT Twinner supports grid planning activities by enabling the simulation of custom loads (e.g., heat pumps, electric cars) at any point within the grid.

Smart decision-making

SYMBIOT Twinner can even suggest countermeasures to address grid issues and recommend the optimal timing for surrounding grid capacity adjustments.

Revolutionizing the smart grid for Distribution System Operators (DSOs)

01

Data cleaning and consistency: The single source of truth

In an era where data becomes more and more indispensable to the pilot of the energy transition occurring on the LV grid, having precise and comprehensive information is of the utmost importance. Symbiot Twinner meticulously detects and enables DSOs to rectify and complete information from GIS (Geographical Information System) and ERP/EAM (Enterprise Asset Management), including details from substations, cables, LV feeders, supply phases, and topology. This singular source of truth facilitates the cohesive operation of the entire network, allowing DSOs to make informed decisions and strategically plan their operations.

02

Better arbitration of investments: A strategic approach

As the demand for electricity grows, DSOs must wisely allocate funds to investments that generate the highest rewards. Symbiot Twinner aids in reallocating funds for investments, enabling DSOs to formulate rational investment proposals and pricing towards the energy regulator. This strategic approach ensures that investments are channeled towards areas that require immediate attention and will have the most significant impact.

03

Decreased non-technical losses: A smarter way to operate

Minimizing non-technical losses improves operational efficiency and ensures access to electricity for all consumers. Today, electricity theft and metering inaccuracies present a significant challenge for DSOs. In this regard, Symbiot Twinner advanced algorithms facilitate the calculations and detection of non-metered energy, assisting DSOs to identify and address these losses.

04

Optimization of network capacity: Maximizing the potential

The rising adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV) systems necessitate the optimization of network capacity. Symbiot Twinner aids grid operators in different calculations for power flow, voltage profiles, and hosting capacity, ensuring the network can accommodate the increasing demand. This optimization not only ensures a stable supply of electricity but also enables DSOs to effectively plan and implement the integration of renewable energy sources.

05

Streamlining the planning process: Accelerating connection approvals and enabling future-proof grid planning

The integration of new connections, such as PV and e-charging stations, necessitates a thorough and expedited planning process. Symbiot Twinner facilitates fast connection studies and approvals, speeding up the integration of these essential services into the network. This streamlined process enables DSOs to meet the increasing demand for renewable energy and electric vehicle charging stations, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.

06

Improved grid observability: A holistic view of the network

Symbiot Twinner provides a comprehensive view of the network, including voltage profiles, power loads, cable, and transformer overloading (past, present, and future), load monitoring and forecasting, and rebalancing plans to mitigate voltage drops and technical losses. This holistic observability enables DSOs to proactively address issues before they escalate, ensuring the stability and reliability of the electricity supply.
