Gradyent Digital Twin Platform
A real-time Digital Twin Platform that creates a digital copy of the entire district heating, cooling, steam or CO₂ grid, combining geographical, weather, and sensor data with physics-based models and AI. It enables energy providers to optimise performance in real time, run simulations, reduce CO₂ emissions, lower operational costs, and make smarter business decisions.
Case StudiesReferences & Success Stories
Veolia Warsaw partners with Gradyent to optimize Europe’s largest district heating system
Veolia Warsaw is implementing Gradyent's real-time Digital Twin across its 11 TWh annual heat demand district heating system, the largest in the EU. The solution will optimize temperature, pressure, and heat dispatch, supporting the modernization and decarbonization of the network serving 1.4 million residents.
Utilitas selects Gradyent to transform Tallinn’s 2 TWh heating system
Utilitas has partnered with Gradyent to deploy a Digital Twin for Tallinn’s 2 TWh district heating network, covering 536 km of pipes and serving 194,000 households. The system aims to improve efficiency, reduce heat losses, and support the integration of renewable heat sources, with a target of over 90% renewable heat by 2027.
Gradyent and Shell partner to reduce emissions via steam grid optimisation
Gradyent developed a Digital Twin of selected sections of the steam grid at Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam, handling ~700 tonnes of steam per hour. The pilot identified potential for minimizing steam venting through live setpoint control, reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and simulated future grid changes to support electrification.
Gradyent and Gasunie sign long-term collaboration to decarbonise the heating of 120,000 households
Gasunie selected Gradyent via European tender to provide a Digital Twin for the WarmtelinQ project, which will transport residual heat from Rotterdam to The Hague, aiming to disconnect 120,000 households from natural gas. The platform will serve as the central tool for day-ahead transport planning and real-time operational control, with the contract spanning up to 10 years.
Gradyent and Helen sign a 3-year contract to continue the decarbonisation journey
Helen used Gradyent's Digital Twin to model scenarios for its 1,400 km Helsinki district heating network, enabling the phase-out of coal plants and a 40% CO2 reduction. A three-year contract extension will expand real-time optimization and demand management, targeting carbon neutrality by 2030 and a further 80% emissions drop.
