Singapore, 29 June 2026 — Univers was recognised as a Sample Vendor in the Microgrids category of the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Digital Grid, 2026 and the Renewable Energy Management Systems category of the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Power and Utility Industry IT, 2026.
Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Digital Grid
In our view, Univers’ inclusion as a Sample Vendor in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Digital Grid, 2026 reflects growing market recognition of intelligent microgrids as a foundational capability for the future energy system. We feel As utilities, industrial enterprises and AI-powered facilities seek greater resilience, flexibility and energy autonomy, microgrids are evolving from standalone energy assets into intelligent, software-defined systems that continuously optimize distributed energy resources in real time.
At Univers, this vision extends beyond digitalization. Powered by our Platform for Physical AI, microgrids become autonomous energy systems capable of sensing changing conditions, predicting demand and renewable generation, coordinating distributed assets, and executing optimal control actions across the physical world. This convergence of AI and energy management enables organizations to move beyond monitoring toward self-optimizing, self-healing energy infrastructure, laying the foundation for the next generation of intelligent, resilient and autonomous digital grids.
Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Power and Utility Industry IT
We believe Univers’ recognition as a Sample Vendor in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Power and Utility Industry IT , 2026 for Renewable Energy Management Systems reflects the industry’s accelerating shift toward AI-native management of increasingly complex renewable energy portfolios. We think As utilities, independent power producers and enterprises scale investments across wind, solar, battery storage and hybrid assets, managing renewables is evolving beyond monitoring and reporting to autonomous orchestration across the entire asset fleet.
At Univers, this evolution is powered by our Physical AI platform, which transforms operational data into intelligent action across distributed energy assets. By continuously anticipating renewable generation, optimizing asset performance, coordinating energy storage and adapting to changing grid and market conditions, Physical AI enables renewable fleets to operate as autonomous, self-optimizing systems. As renewables become the backbone of future energy systems, and the primary power source for AI-driven industries, autonomous renewable operations will be critical to maximizing asset value, strengthening grid resilience and accelerating the transition to a net-zero economy.
Closing view
The future of energy is not more dashboards. It is systems that can sense, decide and act.
That is Physical AI. Built by Univers to run real-time operations across critical infrastructure, from renewable energy portfolios and microgrids to the systems the world depends on.
