GridData GmbH

Our digital platform, the GridData DigitalTwin, transforms the way energy distribution systems are managed so they are fit for a world where electricity and heat are produced, used, and stored like never before.


Our digital twin reflects the real grid. Built on live distribution grid data, not assumptions. So you can validate changes before you commit.


You don’t need to wait for perfect data. Your grid data will never be complete. And it will never stand still. Our system works with what you have today and gets smarter as more becomes available.


Grow your distribution grid with confidence. We show you exactly where to reinforce and by how much, backing every decision with solid evidence.


Get more from your grid. Reduce losses. Maximise existing infrastructure. Defer capital spend and cut carbon as a direct result.


A proven platform. Shaped by a decade of real-world grid experience. Backed by 15 years of patented technology. Trusted, tested and secure across hundreds of live distribution grids.


GridData was established May 16, 2018 and operates as a limited liability company (German: GmbH). The founder team combines competences in energy technology, information and communication technologies, design and analysis of resilient and secure systems.

VENSYS ET

VENSYS Elektrotechnik develops and supplies innovative and environmentally friendly energy solutions. As an internationally active company, the focus is on the use of renewable energies and the provision of customized system solutions for the battery storage, solar and wind industries.

 

VENSTORE battery storage systems are a particular focus. These offer comprehensive solutions - from the integration of battery systems and VENCON converter technology to transformer stations (VENSTATION) and control cabinet solutions. Every project phase is covered: from development and planning to construction, commissioning and after-sales service (VENSERVICE).
 

The portfolio also includes powerful full converter systems up to 8 MW, which enable wind and solar power plants to efficiently feed in the generated electricity at a constant voltage and frequency. This is complemented by rotor blade pitch systems for wind turbines as well as specially adapted switchgear and control systems.
 

With over 15 years of experience in switchgear and control engineering, we create customized solutions for energy management (EMS VENCONTROL), drive technology and automation. Qualified teams from planning, design, programming and production deliver complete solutions for control technology - including commissioning and service.
 

All products are developed and tested at the Diepholz site. The highest standards of quality, efficiency and grid stability apply. The VENSYS full inverter systems and battery storage solutions are flexibly adapted to national and regional grid connection guidelines (grid codes) and reliably support the power grid in the event of voltage dips (LVRT).
