Evardi

Not yet independently verified. No maker launch date, so it is dated from the Y Combinator launch listing. The 94, 63 and 60 percent figures, the case studies and the 10 million customers are the company's own and unchecked; SOC 2 Type II is described as underway, and no location or pricing is stated. We will update this when it can be confirmed, and remove this note.

Most outage minutes begin below the substation, 94 percent by Evardi's count, in the stretch of transformers and local lines where SCADA has little view. Evardi builds a working model of that stretch for electric distribution utilities from data they already collect.

A twin built from existing data

Using SCADA, meter, billing and GIS records, the company builds a power-flow model of each feeder, transformer and switch and keeps it current. Every transformer gets a virtual meter, hourly and with an error band, and no new hardware is needed. Every meter is matched to its transformer, which addresses cases such as a meter mapped to the wrong street.

Four jobs for the control room

Evardi shows which transformers are still dark after a storm and who is affected. It tests each planned outage, maintenance window and new connection on the twin before approval. Switching orders are drafted from the utility's own history, switches that failed before are flagged, and every step is load-checked before it reaches a field crew. A fourth module plans restoration in extreme weather. Engineers keep the final call.

What the company reports

Case studies on its site include 60 percent of switching errors caught before the field and 42 percent fewer unsafe switching actions in storm drills, and the launch post claims 63 percent more customers restored. It says it serves utilities covering 10 million customers. SOC 2 Type II is described as underway, and data is not used to train a shared model.
