Schneider Electric has introduced a new software solution, the One Digital Grid Platform, which is engineered to assist utility companies in updating their electrical infrastructure.
The One Digital Grid Platform utilizes artificial intelligence to merge three core operational areas — including strategic planning, daily grid management, and maintenance of physical assets — into a single, cohesive interface. A key feature of the platform is its modular design, which is intended to allow for integration with a utility's existing technological investments without necessitating a complete and costly system replacement. Through its use of artificial intelligence, Schneider Electric's One Digital Grid Platform can provide real-time, data-informed estimates for power restoration following outages caused by severe weather or safety-related shutoffs, a tool that aids operators in diagnosing and resolving grid disturbances, and an automated process for ensuring that the digital representation of the grid network remains accurate and synchronized with its real-world condition.
