“One of the most efficient ways utilities can stay afloat in the fast-changing utility industry is through virtualization. Simply put, companies can shift their resources to where they are needed most while not being constrained by physical limitations.

Virtualization may sound like a fairy tale at this point, but it's actually more practical than you might think. Virtualization is taking hold across many industries, and for utility companies, it's one way to get ahead of the curve. With this shift in focus, utilities are able to provide more support for renewable energy initiatives while still keeping costs low for their customers.

Let's say your utility company owns a lot of land that has traditionally been used for coal mines or oil drilling. You might be wondering how you can make use of that space without disrupting the natural resources on which you depend. One solution is to create a data center out of your unused property! This would allow you to take full advantage of existing facilities while also expanding your power grid capacity at no additional cost.”

Conclusion: Virtualization in digital substations

In many substations, these apps are run on individual computers. This, however, comes at a considerable expense in terms of maintenance and is not advised for reasons of system redundancy. Each application employs hardware that is suited to its requirements, yet this creates a single point of failure. To redundantly extend each application, a large number of little computers must be deployed, all of which must be kept in stock and maintained in case they need to be replaced.

Virtualization is a powerful technology that can help a utility survive and prosper in this ever-changing industry. It may be an emergent technology that gives you a competitive advantage today. It will be a requirement for doing business tomorrow. Forward-thinking companies have already begun their path. Virtualization, like many other disruptive digital innovations, necessitates an initial investment and effort.
