Sensors and Remote Monitoring Enable Smarter Renewables

摘要

A growing investment in renewable energy and distributed energy resources (DER) is creating opportunities also for ongoing modernization of the grid - and the effort shows no signs of letting up. System upgrades are pressing on worldwide to support the increase in renewable energy while making infrastructure smarter and more resilient. This move from centralized to distributed power generation is spurring utilities to digitize, reinforcing the need for data collection and analysis to ensure proper operation and maintenance of these often unmanned assets. Along the way, it is increasing the opportunity for intelligent operations and planning.
