Enhance reliability of the power grid

Overview

A standardized, interoperable technology stack supports low-latency communication systems for ultra-reliable machine-to-machine connectivity. This integrated ecosystem drives smart grid operations.

Infosys Utilities combines expertise in wireless communication, cloud computing, and solution implementation across the energy value chain to future-proof electrical grid systems. Our consultants align generation, storage and transmission infrastructure to develop a roadmap for sustainable, reliable and affordable energy supply.

Our adaptive AI solutions and learning mechanisms create a next-generation utility operating model that supports demand response programs and safeguards the interests of stakeholders, while adapting to grid, market and regulatory conditions.

Our domain experts augment smart grids with self-healing capabilities. It automates detection and response to potential issues. For instance, network reconfiguration to automatically reroute power and restore service following a disruption. Notably, our autonomous control systems integrate transmission-level data from energy management systems with load and voltage profiles from distribution management systems to mitigate power failure, minimize transmission loss, and accelerate recovery.

Infosys capabilities:

Nuanced insights into generation mix, capacity utilization, energy efficiency, asset performance, and carbon footprint

Measurable improvements in reliability metrics, including Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), and Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI)

GenAI copilots accelerate turnaround time for storm restoration, grid inspection, vegetation management, troubleshooting, and field service

Intelligent fine-tuning of grid performance and algorithmic balancing of supply and demand reduce peak loads and rebalance distribution loads to mitigate voltage spikes.

Modernize the grid for resilient, intelligent operations

  • Partnerships with hyperscalers, academia, industry leaders, and OEMs help incubate integrated poly-cloud platforms to accelerate grid modernization, streamline grid planning and operations, and expand capacity.
  • Predictive algorithms optimize budget allocation for ‘storm hardening’ initiatives as well as incremental upgrade of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for cloud-connected remote monitoring.
  • Dynamic optimization of operational parameters ensures the availability of baseload assets, while deferring infrastructure outlay.
