AS THE NUMBER OF SMART METERS DEPLOYED AND THE DATA THEY COLLECT CONTINUES TO GROW WORLDWIDE, UTILITIES HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY DATA-CENTRIC COMPANIES. OVER AN INTELLIGENT NETWORK, DATA CAN BE COLLECTED, ANALYZED, AND USED BY UTILITIES TO IMPROVE GRID MANAGEMENT, ENGAGE WITH CONSUMERS, IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND SECURITY, AND CREATE NEW SERVICES AND OFFERINGS. THE GROWING UNIVERSE OF IOT WILL FURTHER BOOST THE POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE OF DATA ANALYTICS.
LANDIS+GYR’S CAPABILITIES AND SOLUTIONS
Data is the new currency, and Landis+Gyr’s Smart Grid technologies are structured to capture it. Big Data, the IoT, and efficient analytic tools have become an integral element of future utility business models. Data-analytic solutions provide a competitive edge by supporting more efficient processes, improve infrastructure management and planning, and result in a more reliable power supply.
Landis+Gyr’s Gridstream® analytics solution enables utilities to leverage existing Smart Grid investments and more efficiently plan and operate the grid of the future. Employing a bespoke technology platform, Landis+Gyr’s comprehensive Advanced Grid Analytics applications harness the power of data to effectively respond to and meet the demands of a fast-evolving grid. Visualization and insights to help integrate and manage a growing fleet of distributed energy resources are a key benefit to the market.
Employing physics-based algorithms, the analytics platform identifies and resolves potential system bottlenecks and applies scenario analyses to perform forward-looking planning studies. As a result, Landis+Gyr’s Gridstream® solution offers a toolbox for converting a data-intense network into actionable insights which are more efficient for utilities and their customers.
Case
LANDIS+GYR HAS BEEN SELECTED BY CENTERPOINT ENERGY, INC.’S ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION SUBSIDIARY TO PROVIDE AN ADVANCED GRID ANALYTICS ENTERPRISE SOLUTION TO MANAGE DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER LOADING THAT TRACKS PERFORMANCE AND DELIVERS PROACTIVE GUIDANCE FOR IMPROVED TRANSFORMER LOAD MANAGEMENT.
CENTER POINT ENERGIE
CenterPoint Energy is an electric transmission and distribution business serving a 5,000-square-mile electric service territory in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area.
MORE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT GRID MANAGEMENT
CenterPoint Energy’s objective was to replace its transformer management system with a solution offering more capabilities for improved reliability, operational efficiency and cost reduction. The requirements included identification of over- and underloaded transformers, as well as identifying other assets at risk of potential failure. The ability to utilize Advanced Metering and GIS data to geospatially visualize, and proactively identify, potential transformer failures to reduce the number of unplanned outages was an important factor. Besides quickly identifying and localizing outage risks, the utility aimed to reduce costs by actively addressing stressed assets through analytics-aided planning and proactive asset maintenance strategies, thereby improving reliability, grid performance and extending the life of assets.
LANDIS+GYR SOLUTION: MATURE, RELIABLE, RESPONSIVE
Landis+Gyr replaced CenterPoint Energy’s legacy transformer management system with its latest Advanced Grid Analytics Asset Loading application. Offering system-wide visibility of asset health, loading and performance, the application provides CenterPoint Energy with insights and tools that can be utilized by various departments inside the organization. Analyses of data from CenterPoint’s 2.4 million meters across the grid increase the distribution operator’s efficiency and empower CenterPoint Energy to develop proactive asset management strategies to enhance service levels and better meet customer needs. The ability to conduct loss-of-life calculations enhances economics-based decision-making for replacement, proper sizing, and location of transformers. By identifying, visualizing and monitoring changes across the grid as they occur, the advanced data analytics functionalities help CenterPoint Energy optimize grid management and realize added value.
