NovaTech Automation’s Post

Virtualization is familiar at the enterprise but new to the substation, a famously risk averse environment. But with growing demand for new substations, and a fleet of still mostly electromechanical automation at the distribution level, fully virtualized and digitized substations are a possibility worth considering today as you plan for the near future. In one sense, substation virtualization is radical stuff. But from another it’s just the latest iteration of the “box consolidation” - more compute in less physical footprint - that’s been going on for decades. Join us and Dell Technologies for a discussion about what’s next. #vPAC #thefutureisvirtual

This will be a great presentation to learn about #VPAC and the role of #virtualization in the electric grid of the future.

Long? No, longer! Efficiently transfer #data and #power over long distances via a single #cable. When coping with the high demands in industry, products like those used in offices aren’t enough.

Investing in the Grid: With the accelerating pace and scale of progress toward electrification, #distributionautomation (DA) technologies help make electric utility infrastructure smarter, more dynamic, resilient, and secure. DA can improve the speed, cost, and accuracy of efforts to modernize grid infrastructure. Read more in Energy Central's special grid issue about how the DA family of technologies -- including sensors, processors, controllers, information and communication networks, switches, and software systems -- can help utilities optimize data and manage the energy transition in real time. https://lnkd.in/eecYMg7k

I'm thrilled to share this new white paper coauthored with Alex Hansen illuminating the advantages and complexities of simulating network changes at scale within Operational Technology (OT) Wide Area Network (WAN) environments of electric utilities. Key focus points include: - Real-world examples of how virtualization is shaping the utility industry. - The acceleration of rapid deployment and verification of network topologies ensures that virtual simulations are accurate and reliable for testing and development. - This approach significantly reduces the physical resources required for large-scale network simulations, enabling a more sustainable and cost-effective methodology. I encourage you to dive into this study and join the conversation. How do you think virtualization will reshape the future of electric utility network planning and operations? Share your thoughts and let's discuss the future of sustainable energy innovations together! https://hubs.li/Q02jwY4J0 #Telecommunications #Power

⚡ Are you ready to power up the energy transition? Today, energy infrastructure faces the perfect storm: • Increasing energy demand • Urgent net-zero targets • Ageing infrastructure Consequently, there is more pressure than ever to meet delivery deadlines and connect the grid to sustainable resources. Innovative technology will be the key to future-proofing energy systems and we're excited to be a part of this once-in-a-generation journey. Big thanks to Powerhouse for including us in this grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) landscape. #GreatGridUpgrade #EnergyTransition

Our energy grid is expected to see skyrocketing load demand, with data center power demand in the US alone on track to double from 2022 levels by 2030 (McKinsey). Meeting this demand with clean power and existing infrastructure will become increasingly difficult. Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) are hardware and software solutions that are deployed within existing transmission systems to help increase capacity, flexibility, and efficiency of power transfer. These GETs technologies have the potential of addressing the over $21B in estimated annual congestion cost for consumers. Powerhouse has mapped the GETs landscape in order to provide visibility to the different focus areas and highlight the major players in the field.

Substations make the grid work, and new technologies are helping them meet the growing demand for power. As we enter a new world of digitalization, substation technology has followed. Today, most modern substations feature an increasing number of devices and automation components from multiple vendors – meaning more and more intelligent electronic devices are required. Maintaining and updating a myriad of proprietary devices can be expensive, timely and complex. The emergence of virtualization as a route to better efficiencies, intelligence and resilience is inevitable, and now is the time to make the virtualized protection and control opportunity a firm reality for the future.
