In more than a century, electrical transmission and distribution (T&D) have progressed step by step. The present usage of digital technology in the construction, maintenance, and monitoring of T&D lines opens up a lot of possibilities for building more cost-effective, efficient, and dependable lines. With the rise of numerous technologies such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), IoT, Big Data analytics, and others, we are also on the cusp of a shift in the digitalization of energy systems.

Regulatory limits, policy changes, changing economics, technology, and consumer preferences are all constants in the power utility sector.

To compete in this market, utilities must ensure continuous power supply through efficient load distribution and minimize downtime through timely repair.

As a result, technological advancements like machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence are rapidly infiltrating the power distribution industry. Battery storage and the internet of things, among other developments, have the potential to alter the power industry soon.

Major Highlights in the Industry

AMI enables the collection of near-real-time usage data from customers, as well as data analysis and control services like time-based tariffs and demand response. Sensors and embedded software are also being added to the grid, as well as two-way communication and software platforms that enable distribution automation monitoring and control, fault and outage management, VoltVAR management, and real-time optimization of distributed energy resources (DERs).
CenterPoint Energy, based in the hurricane-prone Houston area, is an excellent example of a utility taking measures to become a digital organization. An advanced metering system, an advanced distribution management system (ADMS), DSCADA, a mobile data platform, a power alert service system, an integrated voice response (IVR) system, and a Customer Vision Platform have all been deployed by the company. These systems not only improve system performance but also improve the relationship between CenterPoint and its clients.
Similarly, Portland General Electric (PGE) began a smart grid test program this summer to show the utility's smart grid's potential for demand response and other customer-focused programs by integrating digitally equipped items owned by customers. Digital businesses have the advantage of supplying a large number of clients while still providing personalized service.
