Reimagine the way you operate.

The energy transition is challenging our grids and grid operators. Kognitwin Grid is our new Industrial Work Surface for power grids, where data, technology and people come together to solve problems. Enabling operators to maximise the value of the grid of today – and of tomorrow.

Increase true collaboration by connecting data, people, and workflows

Get a holistic overview of your grid and its components.

The Industrial Work Surface facilitates a cloud-based environment where your data can be turned into actionable insights spanning across grid departments, user personas and voltage levels.

Solve problems, close out work and inform decisions

Like many other energy companies, use the Industrial Work Surface to enable better decision making, close out work and drive more value.

Break down silos and democratise data

With universal access to centralised data, engineers and operators are better positioned to maximise uptime, model and test grid scenarios, and expedite grid improvements.

This is Kognitwin® Grid

Your digital twin

Kognitwin Grid is a digital twin of the power grid, enabling grid operators to maximize the value of the grid of today – and of tomorrow.

Access data fast

Kognitwin Grid utilizes existing documentation across source systems to create a model of the grid. Replace siloed and fragmented data located in multiple systems with accessible contextualized data. Save time hunting for information and have intelligent, actionable data at your fingertips.

Kognitwin Grid has an always-on simulator engine that performs a full power flow analysis across all voltage levels, including forecasts of future near-time or long-term load flow in the power grid to increase insights and support decision-making from planning to operations. 

Scalable solution

Kognitwin Grid consists of modules that support the way you explore, monitor, optimize, study and maintain your power grid. The SaaS solution is flexible and scalable and can support grid operators that are both beginning, changing, or continuing their digital transformation.

Simulation

The simulation engine can help you forecast load and production down to metre level and perform a load flow analysis of the entire grid. The main output from the load flow is bottleneck detection and voltage quality.

Full visibility

In addition, the solution can include live and planned switch status to reflect the grid topology and identify disconnected areas correctly. This provides an always-on status of the power grid with possibilities to look into the past, present, and future.

All in One

The simulation engine collects, adapts, and contextualises data from different sources and systems to make them available for new applications and use cases.

How Kognitwin® grid supports your business objectives

Improve Grid Utilisation

Identify and forecast bottlenecks and voltage deviation in your grid based on load and production forecasting. Gain insight into overload risk and grid condition. Create scenarios to understand how to better utilize existing grid infrastructure.

Optimise investments

Plan and develop a future-proof grid by running long-term grid scenarios to assess impact of electrification and new intermittent energy.

Improve reliability

Be aware of upcoming operational situations and create scenarios including topology changes and/or the use of flexible assets to alleviate and reduce the risk of overload-based outages.

Let's reframe the discussion around AI replacing human jobs and focus on its power to unlock time for problem-solving and strategy execution.

When opening Kongsberg Digital’s annual tech event, The Tomorrow Show, CEO Shane McArdle asked the audience if they had ever used ChatGPT and every hand went up.
While it's human to wonder whether advanced technology like AI will make your life better or worse, AI isn't new - it's been here a while, and you're likely using it more than you think.

“AI will eliminate the tasks you don’t like doing anyway” –

Shane McArdle


In our world of energy and maritime, AI has joined the industrial transformation journey by revolutionising data analysis and improving the human-technology experience, with digital twins and the Digital Performance Model as driving forces.

McArdle shared some thoughts on AI when he recently sat in on the Tech Exec Talk podcast with Adam Soroka, CEO of Cavendish Group.

“Machine learning and AI will eliminate those tasks you don’t like doing anyway—for example, searching for information or looking for a specific word inside a PowerPoint. AI will automate tasks, not remove jobs—that’s where I see the short to midterm with AI”


Humans at the center of technology

Did you know that decision effectiveness drives 95 percent of company performance?

When Pascal Bornet, the award-winning expert in AI and automation, entered the stage at The Tomorrow Show, he explored how to determine which decisions should be supported, augmented, or automated by AI.

But what does this mean, and how can AI enhance decision-making for professionals in the energy and maritime sectors?

Example: Supported decision

AI can support the decision-maker by forecasting data-based scenarios, but humans must integrate long-term goals and community impacts, relying on critical thinking and emotional intelligence.

Example: Augmented decision

AI predicts failures and recommends maintenance schedules, with human engineers prioritising tasks based on strategic objectives.

Example: Automated decision

AI can monitor emissions data from power plants, automating a repetitive task that would otherwise require constant human attention. This category includes skills that machines can easily replicate, enhancing the quality of human roles.

User-friendly solutions drive adoption

When discussing technology adoption, it's common to categorise users into Early Adopters, Fast Followers, and Laggards. McArdle highlights the critical role of user-friendly and intuitive technology in driving user adoption and satisfaction.

“Where we see it really taking off, is when the technology is easy to use.  That “Every day, I am super excited to open up the digital twin; I want to do my work there” or “This is the only tool I use to search for information in documents”. That, for us, is super important. You must make technology fun and enjoyable, limiting tasks for people”.

An example of AI in action

Typically, when using a digital twin to search for a phrase or ask a question about a tag, the twin will not return an answer. This is exactly what AI can solve. With the Industrial Work Surface, users can now use technology built on large language models (LLM) and generative AI through an easy-to-use digital interface that connects with asset and operational data.


AI is a valuable tool in heavy asset industries, automating repetitive tasks and improving decision-making efficiency. However, human expertise remains vital. Let’s embrace AI as a powerful partner, enabling companies to concentrate on high-value activities like problem-solving and strategic execution toward greater performance and profitability.
