Reducing the Burden on System Engineers and the Time it Takes to Plan New Connections
Route options determined by IConn™ Route Planner
Networks need to be upgraded to make them safer and more resilient to climate change, while demand for new connections is rapidly growing. Existing planning tools are struggling to keep pace with evolving needs making the initial evaluation and exploration process much harder and take much longer than it should.
Keen AI’s IConn™ Intelligent Connection System generates options for where a new generation or demand project can connect to the network. It provides a breakdown of capacity, cost, time estimates, and transmission line routing.
IConn™ leverages a variety of computational methods to streamline the assessment of new grid connections. By integrating power flow analysis, route planning via geospatial optimisation, cost and timeline estimation models, IConn™ automates traditionally complex and time-consuming engineering tasks, allowing for rapid assessment of connection feasibility.

IConn™ enables more holistic decision making, reduces the burden on scarce system design engineers and provides reliable information earlier on in the process. The platform currently includes:
- An abstracted graph model of the current, planned and proposed substations and circuits. This is used to run a power flow determining the feasibility of taking a new connection at a particular node.
- Various geospatial layers and optimisation algorithms to generate the routes an OHL connection could take from a site to a target substation.
- A model trained on historical connection costs and timelines providing more accurate forecasts of costs and energisation dates.
- It takes IConn™ around 10 seconds to generate connection and routing options.
- Iconn is the latest product emerging from Keen AI Labs, and we are continually adding new features.
