Turn your existing substation into an intelligent grid node.
GRIDNOW creates a local operating and diagnostic layer for existing medium-voltage substations. Switchgear, protection, transformer, compensation, ventilation, sensors, communication and history become one coherent asset view.
See Everything. Control What Matters.
GRIDNOW connects, harmonizes, and visualizes infrastructure in real time — without vendor lock-in.
Description of the first panel.
Description of the second panel.
The substation works. But it does not operate as one system.
Many medium-voltage substations have grown over time: new protection relays, additional meters, transformers, compensation systems, ventilation equipment, sensors, building automation, communication interfaces and control system connections. Each component does its job. In daily operation, the bigger picture is often missing.
- A protection event appears without the surrounding operating context.
- Transformer, ventilation and compensation data are evaluated separately.
- Sensor alarms, switching history and documentation are spread across systems.
- Diagnosis depends heavily on a few experienced people.
From isolated assets to a connected technical system.
GRIDNOW does not replace protection, control systems or service teams. It provides the missing layer between them.
-
Connected station context
Switchgear, transformer, ventilation, compensation, sensors and documentation are mapped to the real asset structure.
-
Technical correlation
Events are evaluated together: load, temperature, pressure, acoustic behavior, switching history and protection messages.
-
Edge intelligence
Data is processed locally, close to the asset. Critical operational data remains inside the customer environment.
-
Vendor-independent integration
Installed device generations and multiple manufacturers can be integrated into one operational view.
-
Digital substation logbook
Maintenance, switching operations, notes, tasks and documents stay connected to the asset.
-
Service-ready operation
Remote experts can assess relevant condition data faster and support on-site teams with better context.
GRIDNOW evaluates more than electrical data.
The condition of a substation is defined by many signals. Electrical values matter, but critical developments often appear thermally, mechanically, acoustically or through environmental conditions first.
From signals to substation condition
Open where it matters. Controlled where it counts.
GRIDNOW connects heterogeneous brownfield environments without replacing existing protection or control systems. Processing happens locally at the edge.

-
Local data sovereignty
Processing takes place locally at the edge. Sensitive operational data can remain inside the customer environment.
-
Integration instead of replacement
Existing devices, protocols and data paths are integrated into a shared operating layer.
Wrap & Extend
Add measurement points, sensors, edge computing and service access where they create operational value. Keep the infrastructure that still works.
Add intelligence. Keep the infrastructure.
GRIDNOW is designed for substations that have grown over years. Existing systems are integrated. Missing measurement points are added only where they support operation, diagnostics or maintenance.
The value is better operability.
GRIDNOW is not a digitalization project for its own sake. The platform addresses concrete challenges in operating critical substation infrastructure.
-
Shorter diagnosis
Signals from systems, sensors and history are available in context.
-
Targeted maintenance
Interventions can be planned around actual condition, not only fixed intervals.
-
Knowledge retention
Events, documents, notes and tasks stay connected to the station.
-
Longer asset lifetime
Retrofit protects existing infrastructure and avoids premature replacement.
Assess how adaptive your substation already is.
In a GRIDNOW audit, we evaluate installed systems, protection technology, sensors, communication interfaces, documentation and retrofit potential. The result is a concrete modernization path for your existing station.
