Business requirements

Tracking the vast number of components in an energy grid is essential to optimizing operations. Analyzing sensor data from energy assets in real time provides valuable insights into equipment performance and status, enabling proactive maintenance to minimize downtime and detect safety hazards. Additionally, smart meter data offers an inside view into customer usage patterns. When combined with weather data, you can effectively predict energy consumption and production from solar and wind sources. This helps to manage energy fluctuations and track energy supply storage, ensuring a stable and efficient energy grid.

Technical challenges

Implementing a new data pipeline can be time-consuming and technically challenging, especially within an established sector. Migrating the old data pipeline to fit the new one requires significant effort and expertise. This becomes an even more daunting task when the energy grid constantly generates massive amounts of data at high speeds, which demands a robust and scalable solution. Maintaining continuous operation of the pipeline is crucial. Hardware failures, network issues, and software bugs are common obstacles. Therefore, finding a fault-tolerant solution with multiple fail-safes and mechanisms for automatic recovery is imperative to ensure uninterrupted service and to prevent data loss.
