Description
With the rapid advancement of digitization, energy systems have experienced significant improvements through innovations. As we move toward a more dynamic and complex network, real-time analysis, AI, and decentralized systems are essential for enhancing efficiency and reliability. Addressing this issue, many studies focus on centralizing data in a cloud system to develop innovative monitoring, control, and protection approaches for both conventional and inverter-based resource (IBR) systems.
The presentation discusses Hydro-Québec's new R&D project (E2P), which aims to develop post-cloud technologies by 2050. E2P focuses on enhancing integrated edge advancements and AI/data-driven applications.
The objective is to create a flexible, scalable system capable of swiftly incorporating new innovations within an automated design, testing, and deployment chain. This system would cover functions for plants, substations, feeders, and customer applications, addressing current limitations and eliminating silos to ensure a more resilient and efficient future energy system while addressing potential challenges.
