Corinex

Corinex builds grid digitalisation products based on Broadband over Power Lines (BPL), which carries data over existing electricity cables. Its systems help distribution network operators see what is happening on the low-voltage grid and manage low-carbon loads such as EV chargers and solar generation. The company has worked on BPL design since 1999.

What Corinex offers

• Grid visibility — measuring voltage imbalance to find where low-carbon technologies are straining capacity.
• Grid flexibility — dynamically managing loads and generators so the network is not overloaded.
• GridValue software — tools to monitor, control and tune grid performance in real time.
• BPL hardware — powerline communication products, including G.hn-based equipment and a Grid Intelligence Node.

Who it works with

Corinex serves distribution system operators, electric utilities, EV manufacturers and EV charging providers. Named customers include CEZ Group, PRE Group and the Irbid District Electricity Distribution Company, and it has worked with EFR on infrastructure for Germany's smart meter rollout.
