Making the Intelligent Power Grid Happen with Edge AI

By implementing Edge Computing, Aduriz aims to enhance system interoperability, bolster cybersecurity, improve data management, and enable the deployment of models at the Edge, driving greater business intelligence and operational efficiency.

CUERVA, a Spanish Energy Operator required a predictive system based on consumption and production patterns to help them avoid congestion and overvoltage events in the grid. Barbara facilitated the Edge Platform to deploy AI algorithm for demand and generation prediction and enabled MLOps techniques to retrain algorithm in the Edge.

Barbara´s Edge platform offers Edge Computing-based solutions tailored for critical installations. It enables the efficient operation and predictive maintenance of high-voltage transmission lines through the application of distributed artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Learn how Barbara enabled Smart Grid stakeholder to virtualize the components of a medium to low voltage transformer substation and achieve independence between hardware and software and enable peer-to-peer cooperation between substations.

REDEIA was tied to the specifications of its current software-hardware assemblies and did not have the flexibility to add new applications. The virtualization of the electrical substation brought Redeia new opportunities to optimize its infrastructure investment, increase grid resilience and plan evolutive maintenance more efficiently.

Barbara Industrial Edge platform will provide local sovereignty to the data source through the implementation of Edge IDS connectors and will include a cyber security layer for secure communications, identity management, trust management and access control, in line with the IDS vision.

Discover how CUERVA gained complete, real-time digital visibility into the last mile of the power grid, making the system more transparent to all stakeholders while reducing the number of incidents and associated response times.

Aggregate heterogeneous distributed resources and facilitate physical world connectivity. Barbara's software enables the creation of Virtual Power Plants through Edge Computing Nodes that monitor and control the power sources, and a centralized control platform that manages the entire system in an agile and simple way.

With Barbara's Edge Platform, CUERVA is able to capture and process real-time data from line cells and fault pass detectors as well as detect anomalous behavior and optimize its maintenance operations.

EDP Solar needed to have a monitoring system that would allow it to obtain real-time information on its customers' production and consumption, as well as alarms and information on the status of each installation, both to make it available to its customers and for internal use by the O&M team.

Learn how with Barbara Edge Platform, EDP was able to achieve real-time control of distributed resources such as photovoltaic inverters, batteries, EV chargers and heat pumps with Edge Gateways to make smart flexibility decisions between Smart Grid stakeholders.
