AI – Grid Management

Optimizing Grid Operations

  • Grid Planning and Investment: ADMS & Dynamics 365 Data provides valuable insights for grid planning and investment decisions. This includes identifying areas with high DER penetration, predicting future load growth, and optimizing the placement of new grid infrastructure.

  • Electrical Price Prediction: AI-powered Production & Price forecasting can be used to adjust energy distribution in real-time based on factors like weather conditions, demand forecasts, and renewable energy availability. This ensures efficient use of resources and maintains grid stability.

Service Management

  • Fault Repair Work Order Integrations: Detail Work Order data, including asset, work type, resource, timing and costs allow for centralized Service review in Microsoft Dynamics 365.

  • Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR): Using real-time data and sophisticated algorithms to quickly locate faults, isolate the affected area, and automatically restore service to unaffected customers. This minimizes outage durations and improves grid reliability. – Prioritizes most vulnerable elements of the grid to be worked on to prevent outtages.

Renewable Energy – DERM Learning

  • DERM Learning: Working with new Distributed Energy Resource Management systems, and Machine Learning, being able to predict the load fluctuations that new DERs put on the Grid

  • Power Management for Renewables: Inconsistent Sun exposure, Wind speeds, and Weather patterns mean you need intelligent predictive models to anticipate the output of your Renewable Production using Microsoft Fabric Data Aggregation and AI tools.

SCADA & ADMS – Intelligence Beyond the Data

  • SCADA Intelligence: Using AI tools Predictive Maintenance with weighted analysis of historical performance, real time SCADA inputs, and real time weather updates. Including real time Renewable energy inputs, you can now create Dynamics Line Ratings; to ensure optimal distribution of the new electricity produced.

  • Demand Response Optimization: AI analyzes historical consumption patterns and real-time data to predict peak demand periods. Utilities can then incentivize customers to reduce energy usage during peak times, optimizing demand response programs and avoiding costly grid overloads.
