TECHNOLOGY AND AI
“ In essence , digitising the grid not only enhances operational efficiencies but is also crucial for adapting to the demands of a digital world , supporting sustainability and ensuring a stable , efficient and future-ready energy system ,” Sally says .
Digital solutions contribute to the efficient deployment of available power in smart grids The impact of digital solutions in making grids smarter is something Sally witnesses first hand and works to enable .
AspenTech ’ s Asset Performance Management ( APM ) suite , including the Aspen Mtell tool , uses data analytics and machine learning for predictive maintenance , enabling utilities to prevent equipment failures and reduce downtime , for example . APM ’ s condition-based monitoring provides real-time alerts on critical grid assets , facilitating immediate maintenance actions . It also optimises maintenance schedules based on asset health and usage , enhancing grid reliability and reducing costs .
As well as this , AspenTech ’ s suite of simulation tools , like Aspen Fidelis , allow utilities to anticipate performance issues and optimise system performance through strategic foresight , ensuring a robust , adaptive power supply system ,
