National Grid will share how it uses GenAI-powered line diagram analysis to improve the interconnection application review process. Rather than requiring customers to manually enter information from electrical diagrams into structured forms, the utility developed a system that extracts key information directly from submitted diagrams. The session will introduce Line Diagram Analyzer (LDA), a multimodal GenAI capability integrated into National Grid’s internal AI platform. Attendees will learn how the solution improves application consistency, reduces rework, and accelerates engineering reviews while balancing operational governance and technical accuracy.

Session Takeaways:
• Architecture patterns for scalable diagram analysis
• Approaches for evaluating GenAI extraction systems
• Lessons learned integrating GenAI into engineering workflows
• Strategies for reducing review cycle time
