We are currently witnessing unprecedented challenges to the electricity grid. The growing electrification of households and industries, coupled with the effects of climate change and natural disasters, as well as the increasing variability in energy production, are placing significant stress on all components of the grid.
The transmission grid plays a pivotal role in realizing a future driven by affordable and abundant clean energy.
However, transmission grid owners are now confronted with the need for multi-trillion-dollar investments in the coming decades, all while the complexity of the grid is on the rise. The traditional methods of operating this critical infrastructure are no longer adequate to address these evolving challenges.
Promaps provides you with holistic, real-time insights essential for efficiently operating your grid and preparing it for the ongoing energy transition. Our probabilistic risk management solution helps identify and mitigate risks within your system, allowing you to capitalize on future opportunities more swiftly.
Leveraging big data and a digital twin of your power system, in concert with proprietary mathematic modeling, we calculate the anticipated energy that will not be delivered. Our proprietary software employs Markov models to continuously enhance your risk management capabilities and harness technological advancements.
Our goal is to be your trusted partner in managing all aspects of your grid operations.
Software features encompass:
Infinigrid has developed software through extensive R&D projects in cooperation with our customers.
Simulation tool for calculation of probability for failure in power systems, including component, branch, system and power delivery reliability.
The simulation tool combines a flow model of the power system with reliability models of each component in the system. Provides operations central with a list of critical components in real time.
Prioritizing which components to maintain based on impact component has had on the power system.
Calculate risk level and connected cost the system will be exposed to during the maintenance period
By using either existing Promaps Realtime models as base case or establishing new ones for new costumers, we can make detailed reports that can be used as a basis for investment planning, operation tuning or give other valuable insights in your power grid.
Promaps is committed to contribute to the UN SDGs. We have a specifically strong impact on the below SDGs:
in power systems, mathematics, optimization, software architecture, and software development.
We have several years of experience in software development, analysis, and risk management of power systems.
Since our inception, we have been working hard on having a positive impact through our work. We are convinced that further digitalization and improved operations of the electricity grid is key to a sustainable future for our society, powered by green, abundant and cheaper energy. We are pushing the boundaries of established beliefs.
We are committed to integrating general principles such as human rights, workers’ rights, trade union freedom, environmental protection, and anti-corruption into all our activities.
We consistently strive to create sustainable value for our customers, employees, and the broader society in which we operate. All our employees are dedicated to upholding these principles in their daily interactions with colleagues, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
We adhere to the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct in all of our operations. This commitment enables us to attract, recruit and retain great people, develop the best solutions for our customers and partners, and build long-lasting and trusting relationships with our commercial partners and customers.
We have a zero-tolerance policy against corruption and comply with anti-corruption laws.
Going forward, we will implement comprehensive tracking of our environmental impact.
