ABB Invests in Gridcog to Support Advanced Energy Project Modelling

Jul 14, 2026
ABB has made a minority investment in UK startup Gridcog to improve digital modelling for renewable and distributed energy projects, supporting customers in evaluating cost and carbon performance.

ABB announced in a press release that it has made a minority investment in UK-based energy software company Gridcog. The investment aims to accelerate advanced digital modelling capabilities for renewable generation, storage, industrial microgrids, distributed energy resources, and energy-as-a-service projects.

Gridcog’s platform allows energy professionals to design, simulate, and manage complex energy systems across multiple markets. The software helps users compare project scenarios and understand both cost and carbon outcomes from early planning stages.

According to ABB, the partnership will enhance its customers’ ability to create clear, data-based business cases for renewable and energy transition initiatives. Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
