Verance AI — AI Twins for Substations

Why AI Twins

Your infrastructure is complex.
Your tools should match it.

SCADA systems show you live data. Digital twins mirror physical models. Neither can answer a question, respond to a regulation, or reason about what's upstream of a failed breaker. AI Twins can.

Operational Efficiency

Every engineering question that used to take hours of document search or was locked in tribal knowledge now takes seconds.

Instant answers to topology and protection questions
AI-assisted troubleshooting and root cause analysis
Eliminate repeated manual lookups across disconnected systems
No hallucinations- the model is the only source of truth

🛡️

NERC CIP & FERC Compliance

Compliance work is only possible when you have an accurate, up-to-date model of your assets and their connections.

Real-time visibility into cyber asset inventory and boundaries
Automated versioning of RTU and IED configurations
Deviation detection between actual config and approved baseline
Audit-ready records of all system and topology changes

🔗

One Source of Truth

Operations, engineering, protection, and IT all looking at the same live model — not siloed spreadsheets and stale drawings.

Single authoritative model for all departments
Connects to external AI tools via MCP (Claude, Cursor, Databricks)
Drawings, SOPs, and docs linked directly to equipment
Vendor-neutral — spans all equipment manufacturers

Platform

Everything your substation
needs in one platform

The Verance AI Platform is a modular suite of tools that builds, maintains, and connects your AI Twin to every workflow in your organization.

AI Twin Core

Verance AI EngineCORE

The proprietary GraphRAG reasoning engine at the heart of the platform. Runs fully air-gapped on your own hardware and answers strictly from the CIM graph — every response is grounded in real equipment, so there are no hallucinations.

Verance GraphMODEL

Drag-and-drop single-line diagram editor that writes directly to a CIM graph database. Imports from CIM files, power-analysis exports, RTU/IED configs, and drawings into one multi-layer topology — electrical, SCADA, protection, and network — with a vendor-neutral device catalog covering SEL, GE, ABB, Siemens, and more.

Verance InterfaceINTERFACE

Interactive SLD viewer with live telemetry overlay and a natural-language AI assistant for engineering queries. Functions as an intelligent HMI for operators, highlighting the equipment referenced in every AI response.

Verance DashboardADMIN

Admin oversight across all platform services: user management and role-based access control, LLM query logging and a full AI interaction audit trail, plus API activity and service-health monitoring.

Artifacts

Verance ArtifactsDOCUMENTS

Links drawings, SOPs, manuals, and datasheets to specific equipment in the graph, with semantic search across every document so the AI can cite the right source when answering equipment queries. Ingests PDFs, DOCX, and other engineering document formats.

SCADA

Verance SCADATELEMETRY

Custom SCADA master that writes live telemetry into the AI graph. Speaks any standard protocol — DNP3, IEC 61850, Modbus, and more — connecting to remote RTUs, enterprise SCADA, and substation IEDs to make real-time status and measurements queryable by AI.

Verance StudioVERSIONING

Automated version control for RTU and IED configuration files. Compares live device configs against the AI-graph baseline, automatically detecting unauthorized or undocumented changes, and supports NERC CIP configuration change-management requirements.

Solutions

Deployed where
you need it

Verance AI is available in two deployment configurations — both available as a software VM on your own hardware, or as a Verance-supplied hardened appliance.

🏢

ENTERPRISE

Enterprise

The master AI Twin system running in your IT infrastructure, connecting every department and all substations to a single, authoritative model.

Full AI Twin creation and editing suite
Connects to all field sites and enterprise SCADA systems
Role-based access for operations, engineering, protection, and IT teams
MCP server enables integration with external AI platforms
Centralized audit logging and compliance reporting
Scales from a single substation to an entire fleet

🖥️ VM on your hardware ⚙️ Verance hardware appliance ☁️ Private cloud

⚡

EDGE

Edge

Deployed on-site at the substation or OT environment — acts as an intelligent telemetry gateway and local HMI, with or without enterprise connectivity.

Direct connection to local RTUs, IEDs, and protection relays
Functions as a standalone intelligent HMI for operators on-site
Operates independently — no WAN connection required
Syncs with Enterprise when connectivity is available
Hardened for OT environments and substation conditions
Ideal for remote, air-gapped, or CIP Medium/High sites

How It Works

From engineering artifacts
to AI-ready intelligence

01

Ingest

Import CIM models, RTAC configs, drawings, and SCADA data from your existing systems — or build the model manually via the SLD editor.

02

Model

Build a multi-layer knowledge graph capturing electrical, protection, SCADA, and network relationships in a single queryable model.

03

Connect

Overlay real-time SCADA telemetry and link engineering documents, SOPs, and configuration files directly to equipment in the graph.

04

Reason

Ask questions in natural language, get AI-grounded answers, and connect any external AI tool via MCP — all from one source of truth.
