Heimdall Power is a Norwegian-born technology company specializing in IoT sensors and software for power lines, aimed at improving the management of electrical grids to meet the evolving needs of utilties world-wide. Founded in 2016, the company serves clients across 19 countries, including Scandinavia, US, Canada, Germany, and Malaysia. Recognized as a "Top 3 Game Changing Cleantech Nordic Startup" by Cleantech Nordic and a "Top 100 Global Cleantech Company" by the Cleantech Group.

Their drone-installed hardware solution, Heimdall Neuron, comprises sensors installed on power lines to measure power, line inclination, vibration, snow load, and wire temperature. Paired with their Virtual Neurons and proprietary software, this system digitizes the power grid in a fast, safe and cost-effective way, offering operators situational awareness throughout their entire network. The application can detect and locate faults, predict faults in progress, and monitor capacity fluctuations caused by vibrations, weather changes, or ice buildup. Grid operators receive real-time alerts about power surges and failures, enabling swift initiation of maintenance procedures.

This integrated solution enables customers to optimize capacity based on line health while minimizing strain on the system, resulting in fewer blackouts and reduced maintenance costs, ultimately enhancing overall effectiveness.

The business model operates on a per-unit cost structure, which varies depending on the size of the system and the number of sensors needed. Additionally, there is a license fee associated with the software subscription (SaaS).

The solution is designed for straightforward installation, with sensors that can be deployed using drones in approximately 10 seconds per unit. This method removes the need for outages and avoids challenges associated with terrains such as crop fields and wetlands.

The system harvests power directly from the electromagnetic field surrounding the power line, making it suitable for use in various regions with minimal maintenance requirements.

It supports dynamic line rating and thermal management of power lines, increasing their capacity and addressing issues related to unused renewable energy. The system also includes functionality for measuring line inclination, power line icing, electrical faults and more.

The solution integrates sensor hardware with secure cloud-based software to provide a cohesive grid management tool.

Heimdall Power specializes in energy infrastructure technology, focusing on dynamic line rating, snow and ice prediction, and fault location for power lines above 7 kV, which are globally standardized. Their solutions enable grid owners to streamline transmission and distribution, maintain operations effectively, upgrade grids, reduce investment needs, and facilitate the transition to green dynamic energy.
