Cognite Data Fusion® for Power Grids
Are you keeping up with accelerating change and risk?
Regional power grid operators are under pressure to adapt their operations in response to distributed energy resources (DERs) and an increasingly decentralized grid. Improve reliability, resilience, and planning analysis across transmission and distribution networks with a smarter approach to data-driven decision making from Cognite Data Fusion®.

Grid operations have an industrial data problem
Operators today have an abundance of static and dynamic operational data but little means to efficiently use it to answer key questions about grid networks and assets, resulting in limited total operational visibility. The process to collect and analyze this data, and then implement new workflows continues to be challenging due the following reasons:
Siloed industrial data
Structured and unstructured data remain in disparate systems such as historians, ERP, CMMS, etc., making it difficult to find, access, and use
Lack of context
Data relationships remain largely unmapped, putting the burden on domain experts to understand and interpret what the data means
Inability to scale use cases
Analytics use cases are developed individually at high cost and with little repeatability because scaling today is largely a manual process
Accelerate the grid analysis and connection process
Data analysts often have to access, contextualize, and process data from over 10 different sources in a high-overhead effort to understand the current state of the grid for planning.
Streamline impact analysis of new connection requests by automating data collection and modeling with digital twins based on the common information model. By integrating both operational and topology data into one connected, consolidated view, analysts can track changes over time and better prioritize upgrades, build outs, and other activities.
Better manage asset risk across your network
The grid faces risks from weather, congestion, and aging assets, but it is often difficult to visualize and understand risk from one pane of glass.
Keep track of grid risk with smarter asset management and more virtual or autonomous substation operations. Make better, safer maintenance decisions for substation assets (transformers, cables, gas-insulated switchgears, etc.) by consolidating dynamic health data and site features into scalable asset or site-based digital twins that are automatically contextualized into your network twin.
Improve operational flexibility and maximize line capacity
Intermittent generation can’t always dispatch due to line congestion and capacity, limiting the environmental and cost benefits of renewables.
Increase available transmission capacity by taking advantage of weather and transmission sensor data to forecast dynamic line ratings at scale. Analyze this data more effectively to reduce the risk of line sag-induced outages, reduce renewable curtailment, and defer grid investments with real-time and forecasted conditions, span-by-span.
Unlock the future of data-driven Grid Operations
Cognite Data Fusion® offers a more scalable and sustainable approach to industrial data management that puts data directly into the hands of experts and data scientists. Compared to existing analytics vendors that you may already be contracting with, our software is built to solve the foundational data problem.
Simple access to complex industrial data
Cognite Data Fusion® connects diverse data sources (historians, IoT platforms, MES, ERP, CMMS, PLM, engineering/design data, etc.) for secure, unified access. Utilize its no-code calculation engine for improved decision-making with time series, events, and engineering documents in one workspace. With this, you can calculate cross-site KPIs for production, maintenance, and ESG using normalized data, such as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), mean time between failure, emissions, energy load, and emissions per unit.
Open, extensible, and secure
Provide easy access to data through pre-established connections to popular solutions and applications, such as Grafana and PowerBI.
Create personalized views of solutions and dashboards organized by areas of focus, such as operations, maintenance, and quality, as well as by functional areas, such as production and engineering.
Offer the ability to iterate and improve KPIs over time through flexible data modeling and adopt a scalable approach to gaining insights.
Built for enterprise scale
- Highly optimized time series database designed for real-time insights and enterprise scale
- Speed to scale insights using open standards and documented APIs with out-of-the-box templatized extraction and contextualization
- A cloud-native environment, leveraging elastic scaling and high-performance computing (HPC) power
- Active user community for support and access to product experts
