Led by Iberdrola, the IA4TES project has successfully completed its three-year initiative (2022–2024), focusing on leveraging Artificial Intelligence to advance renewable energy generation, optimize distribution networks, and enhance customer-level operations. Barbara played a pivotal role by developing industrial edge software to deploy and orchestrate AI at the Edge, enabling smarter, more efficient energy solutions.

EasyDC-FOS a European funded project is set to revolutionize High Voltage Power Transmission by developing more efficient HVDC cables and with intelligent monitoring tools hosted in a digital environment to manage emerging threats such as cyberattacks. Barbara´s Edge Platform will orchestrate and manage applications and edge devices remotely while ensuring data sovereignty and security.

Aduriz Distribución, a prominent electric power distribution company, recognized the pressing need to modernize its operations. In partnership with Barbara, Aduriz embarked on a transformative journey by deploying Edge infrastructure in two low-voltage (LV) substations using Barbara’s Industrial Edge platform. This successful initiative highlights how Aduriz overcame critical challenges, leveraging advanced technology to enhance system performance and deploy intelligence models that drive operational intelligence.

Despite the vast amount of data collected by the industry in recent years, less than 25% is ever processed. This is often due to enterprises lacking the necessary infrastructure to effectively utilize their data. In this article, we will explore the digital journey of a Power Grid operator, from its initial stages till deploying machine learning at the edge.

In an era where sustainable and efficient energy solutions are more critical than ever, Barbara's recent partnership with other 33 companies in the ODEON project will contribute to the journey towards a greener, smarter energy future.

ODEON a European Horizon project has just been launched with the mision to create an inclusive ecosystem of stakeholders characterized by the integration of a mesh of Data, Intelligence,Service, and Market flows. With a budget of 22,56 M€ allocated over four years, the project represents a significant stride toward a sustainable, secure, and competitive energy supply.
