Hylectra is a UK energy technology company combining specialist engineering, advanced modelling and simulation, artificial intelligence and software development. It addresses complex challenges across electricity and energy systems, translating detailed engineering analysis into practical tools for planning, design and operation.
The company offers engineering consultancy, applied research and development, and bespoke engineering software. Its services are aimed at electricity networks and utilities, renewable energy developers, owners and operators of generation and storage assets, equipment manufacturers and engineering consultancies.
Hylectra is currently collaborating with National Grid Electricity Transmission on HarMonAI, a project focused on improving harmonic monitoring across transmission networks. Combining network modelling with physics-informed artificial intelligence, the project aims to improve visibility of harmonic conditions beyond locations where direct measurements are available, supporting more informed power quality assessment and network-planning decisions.
Its broader expertise spans power system modelling, grid integration, harmonic analysis, control and dynamic simulation. For developers and asset owners, these capabilities can support the assessment of how equipment interacts with the wider network and behaves under different operating conditions. For engineering teams, they provide specialist support for investigating technical problems, evaluating design choices and developing new analytical methods.
Hylectra’s technical capabilities also extend to GPU-based simulation and high-performance computing for power systems and renewable energy applications. The approach combines detailed physical models with parallel computing, with the aim of accelerating computationally demanding studies while preserving the numerical accuracy required for engineering decisions. Potential applications include larger-scale electricity network simulations, detailed modelling of renewable generation, and the assessment of a wider range of operating scenarios.
Alongside technical studies, Hylectra develops engineering software tailored to energy sector requirements. Applications can include simulation and analysis tools, automated study workflows, and software that brings models and data together to support engineering and energy-management decisions. The emphasis is on translating specialist knowledge into practical tools that fit the way engineering teams work.
Engagements can range from focused power system and renewable energy studies or model development assignments to collaborative R&D and bespoke software development. Hylectra welcomes discussions with organisations seeking specialist technical support, a technology development partner or a tailored tool to address a specific engineering challenge.
