Enhance your utility’s reliability, sustainability and resiliency through substation and edge-of-the grid automation. Jumpstart your transformation journey by enhancing substation digital capabilities through data, analytics and intelligent automation.

Increased use of distributed energy resources (DERs), electric vehicles (EVs), and intelligent automation applications require a significant change in the way today’s power grid is designed, built and operated. To maintain a stable, efficient and sustainable energy ecosystem, utilities must transform the grid into a two-way exchange of power, data and communication.

Our substation and edge-of-the-grid automation solutions powered by Intel leverage data, analytics and intelligent automation as well as utility function virtualization to help utilities monitor and manage load and flow across all grid assets, simplify the energy ecosystem, prioritize production and consumption of clean energy sources, and flatten the rate structure. Through substation modernization, utilities can improve the overall reliability, resiliency and sustainability of the grid while also unlocking valuable operational efficiencies and cost reductions.

Smart substations are needed to modernize the grid, address the world’s climate change agenda, and unlock new revenue streams.

In partnership with Intel, we have come up with an all-inclusive solution to track mission-critical assets and prevent failures, while also promoting innovation, customer-centricity, and operational efficiency.

This open IoT-based solution captures data from various sources, including sensors, business applications, and IoT devices, to monitor globally dispersed asset networks. The collected data helps in providing an instant snapshot of asset health and performance, including their condition, age, location, vibration, flow rate, pressure, temperature, and other operational characteristics. By automating the data collection process and analyzing it, organizations can take appropriate actions to reduce expensive preventive maintenance, offline outages, and resource-intensive costs.

The fully integrated combination of Intel’s hardware, software, and security ecosystem with our IoT middleware and analytics capabilities provides a unique, business-case oriented, and secure end-to-end IoT platform solution, available “as-a-service” and ready for industrial deployment.
