Our offering

Nexus Grid is at the forefront of transforming medium voltage grids through intelligent, AI-powered asset intelligence. Our platform provides European utilities and Distribution System Operators (DSOs) with the 'superpowers' to operate smarter, predict failures, and optimize grid performance.

Our core solutions include:

  • Real-Time Asset Performance Optimization: We offer continuous monitoring of thermal stress, voltage patterns, and load distribution. This allows utilities to maximize asset utilization without compromising safety, extending asset lifespan by up to 30% and unlocking hidden capacity.
  • Predictive Failure Prevention: Utilizing advanced machine learning models, Nexus Grid analyzes historical and real-time data to predict equipment failures weeks before they occur. This dramatically reduces unplanned outages by up to 60% and improves crew scheduling by 40%.
  • Thermal Efficiency & Grid Intelligence: Our system pinpoints thermal bottlenecks within the medium voltage grid, optimizing energy flow and reducing technical losses by up to 15%. This also helps in cutting peak demand charges.

Born from DNV's deep grid expertise and driven by AI innovation, Nexus Grid shifts traditional reactive maintenance to a proactive, predictive approach. We provide 100% MV network transparency and unify siloed data sources (SCADA, maintenance, field reports) into a single, intelligent platform. Our mission is to make every MV grid intelligently resilient, operationally efficient, and future-ready for the energy transition.
