Using smart grid technology, the Intelligent Grid Platform continuously brings together all relevant grid data and digitizes and automates key processes such as grid connection assessments, planning, and grid monitoring:
The envelio Grid Hub forms the technological foundation of the Intelligent Grid Platform. As a central platform, it brings together grid data, simulation capabilities, and process logic within a shared architecture, laying the groundwork for scalable, automated grid processes. At its core is a computation-ready digital twin of the distribution grid, which continuously synchronizes data from GIS, ERP, SCADA, and other source systems into a consistent grid model.
The IGP was developed specifically to meet the requirements of modern distribution grids. Its high degree of automation enables the onboarding of entire grid areas and supports comprehensive management of grid variants, reservations, and grid changes. Powerful simulation engines enable fast load flow and grid calculations using CPU and GPU architectures, creating a scalable computational core for all grid simulations. At the same time, open APIs and interfaces ensure seamless integration into existing system landscapes and digital processes.
Our data engineering team develops tailor-made interfaces to all relevant data silos of our customers, e.g. GIS, ERP or MDM. Data and information from different systems are combined using special matching algorithms.
High data quality is a prerequisite for successful process digitization. This is why all data is checked for completeness, plausibility and consistency. Special repair routines resolve typical data quality issues immediately and automatically.
Our interfaces allow you to permanently monitor all source systems. All data changes are automatically recognized and continuously transferred to our database.
The IGP brings together all grid data in a central grid model that is always up to date. Automated Data Shippers ensure that the Grid Hub continuously cleanses, validates, and synchronizes data from GIS, ERP, real-time measurements, and other sources, enabling seamless use across the IGP apps and other utility IT systems.
The envelio CPU (Central Processing Unit) Solver is an in-house load flow solver based on the current-injection method, which is particularly well suited for calculations in distribution grids. It serves as the standard option for single calculations and smaller studies. Unlike AI-based approaches that can only estimate grid behavior statistically, the GPU Solver performs exact, physics-based calculations directly on the digital twin of the grid.
The envelio GPU Solver reduces annual time-series simulations from days or even weeks to less than 30 seconds, making them up to 20,000 times faster than conventional calculation processes. For the first time, this enables grid operators to run large-scale grid simulations continuously as part of their daily work. Like the CPU Solver, it performs exact, physics-based calculations directly on the digital twin of the grid — unlike AI-based approaches that can only estimate grid behavior statistically.
A GPU-based simulation engine uses the computing power of a graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform complex mathematical calculations, rather than running them on a central processing unit (CPU), as is typically the case. Since GPUs have thousands of processing cores working in parallel, they are particularly well suited for large-scale, data-intensive calculations, significantly reducing simulation times.
In the IGP, the grid model is continuously kept up to date. This gives grid operators access to a validated, current, and computation-ready grid model across all voltage levels, without any manual effort.
GPU- and CPU-accelerated grid simulations enable high-performance load flow and grid calculations, even for very large distribution grids, in significantly less time than traditional simulation approaches.
Automated onboarding of entire grid areas dramatically reduces integration effort and enables rapid scaling without lengthy individual projects.
envelio Data Shippers continuously synchronize and validate data from GIS, ERP, SCADA, and other source systems into a consistent grid model.
A central hub for grid data creates a consistent, centralized, and always up-to-date grid model across all systems, processes, and organizational units, providing the basis for reliable simulations and decisions.
