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 engineer question that used to take hours of document search and 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
Faster onboarding — new staff query the Twin, not colleagues

🛡️

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.

Verance AI Platform — Application Launcher

CORE

🧊

Verance AI Twins

Drag-and-drop single-line diagram editor that writes directly to a CIM graph database
Import from CIM files, power analysis exports, RTU/IED configs, or drawings
Multi-layer topology: electrical, SCADA, protection, and network in one model
Vendor-neutral device catalog — SEL, GE, ABB, Siemens, and more

INTERFACE

🖥️

Verance Interface

Interactive SLD viewer with live telemetry overlay
Natural-language AI assistant for engineering queries
Functions as an intelligent HMI for operators
Context-aware: highlights equipment referenced in AI responses

TELEMETRY

📡

Verance SCADA

Custom SCADA master that writes live telemetry into the AI graph
Supports any standard protocol: DNP3, IEC 61850, Modbus, and more
Connects to remote RTUs, enterprise SCADA, and substation IEDs
Makes real-time status and measurements queryable by AI

ADMIN

📊

Verance Dashboard

Admin oversight across all platform services
User management and role-based access control
LLM query logging and AI interaction audit trail
API activity monitoring and service health

VERSIONING

🔀

Verance Git

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

DOCUMENTS

📎

Verance Artifacts

Links drawings, SOPs, manuals, and datasheets to specific equipment in the graph
Semantic search across all linked documents
AI can reference relevant documents when answering equipment queries
Ingests PDFs, DOCX, and other engineering document formats

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.
