CognitEMS is Ranial Systems' AI-driven energy-management platform for smart grids, microgrids, and storage systems.
CognitEMS is an AI-driven energy management platform from Ranial Systems that optimizes energy utilization, streamlines operations, and drives energy efficiency for smart grids, substations, renewable plants, microgrids, and energy storage systems. Its components combine AI-driven software with wireless controllers for remote monitoring and control of energy and utility assets, and integration and network management across substations, microgrids, and renewable plants.
Use cases include smart HVAC management, microgrid automation, and grid-edge automation, and the software is subscription-based and non-downloadable. Engineering services for the design, testing, and implementation of energy-efficient systems accompany the platform. In 2026 Ranial Systems partnered with Alfred University under a New Energy New York grant to build a combined battery and microgrid System-on-Chip controller on CognitEMS.
