Digital Transformation in Energy Industry | Energy Security Solutions

Transforming, Innovating, and Accelerating the Energy Sector

The energy industry is undergoing a massive evolution, much of which is driven by three distinct challenges: ensuring energy security, providing affordable energy, and moving to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. The energy industry is working to reduce its environmental footprint and accelerate the transition to renewable sources. Herein lies the question—how does the energy industry ensure affordable access to energy, but with a significantly lower environmental footprint?

Addressing these generational challenges will require unprecedented levels of innovation. The increasing use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal power is driving innovation in the energy sector. Innovations such as new materials for solar panels, more efficient wind turbines, and improved geothermal systems are making these sources of energy more cost-effective and reliable.

Energy systems of the future

Organizations from across the energy value chain are working to make their legacy systems more efficient and less carbon-intensive and innovating to pave the road towards a clean energy future. The energy systems of the future bring together complex and distributed workflows, and leverage transformative services like data lakes, edge computing and IoT, and machine learning, to deliver the step-change in efficiency and performance.

Renewable Energy: The increasing use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal power is driving innovation in the energy sector. Innovations such as new materials for solar panels, more efficient wind turbines, and improved geothermal systems are making these sources of energy more cost-effective and reliable.

Energy Storage: Energy storage technologies such as batteries and pumped hydro storage are becoming more affordable and efficient. This is allowing for the storage of excess renewable energy, reducing the need for fossil fuel backup, and improving grid reliability
Smart Grids: Smart grids are using digital technologies to optimize the distribution of electricity, reduce waste and prevent outages. Innovations in sensors, analytics, and automation are making smart grids more efficient and effective
Electric Vehicles: The growth of electric vehicles is driving innovation in the energy sector, as more charging infrastructure is needed to support these vehicles. Innovations in battery technology and charging infrastructure are improving the performance and accessibility of electric vehicles
Energy Efficiency: Innovations in energy efficiency are helping to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. New technologies such as smart thermostats, LED lighting, and advanced insulation materials are making it easier for individuals and businesses to reduce their energy usage

“Greenko is a leading energy solution provider in the changing energy landscape of India that is helping drive change to Renewables Energy in India. With a total installed capacity of 7.5 GW, which includes wind (2000+ wind turbines), solar (5+ million solar panels) and hydro (25 sites) The first biggest challenge for Greenko was to get a Real time monitoring of Wind Turbine Assets with dashboards. This would help them visualize total number of connected assets, wind speed, power output, average power output, power generation and more. Keeping the existing challenges and KPI’s in mind, Locuz designed and implemented a highly scalable AWS data pipe and across 4 pillars, Data Ingestion, Data Lake Hydration, Data Visualization and Analytics. You can read a full coverage of the solution and more about the Greenko story on the AWS blog.”
