Transforming Today’s Energy Landscape
Digital and industry disruptors are reshaping the energy industry. Companies are under greater pressure than ever before to gain efficiencies and implement new revenue-producing capabilities. Resource scarcity, price volatility, a human capital deficit, and increasing data volume are just some of the powerful forces creating new challenges. In response, many companies are putting advances in technology—such as digitized devices—to work for them. These technologies are enabling them to increase the accuracy and timeliness of exploration and drilling, improve the productivity and safety of utility service crews, bridge the knowledge gap created by retiring workers, and introduce new revenue opportunities—in short, to meet today’s challenges successfully.
Technology Trends at the Grid Edge
Using strong technology partnership to deliver the energy cloud.
The transition to the Energy Cloud—where energy markets become more distributed, clean, and intelligent—is speeding up. Utilities must adapt to this transformation to capture the value in new distributed energy resources (DER) and transactive energy markets. Until recently, the smart grid conversation was focused on hardware: smart grid technologies, smart meters, and in-home Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The industry is now shifting toward the next level of maturity on the technology adoption cycle: utilities have deployed smart meters; networks are digital; and utilities are experimenting with smart home technologies. The next challenge is how to extract value from the…
