Itron Report Reveals the Critical Role of AI in Addressing Challenges for Utilities

Solving critical challenges for the modern power grid

Key DI applications address resiliency and disaster restoration; grid modernization; low-voltage distribution network management; renewables integration and control; load monitoring and management; and consumer engagement and services. And by leveraging an open platform that supports third-party development, an ever-increasing ecosystem of partners can create their own value-driven, custom applications to solve your needs.

  • Real-time, edge intelligence to help you anticipate potential break-downs across the grid.

  • New insights to operate more efficiently, increase ROI through better asset management and maintenance, and improve CAIDI and SAIDI metrics.

  • Proactively plan and deploy critical infrastructure to ensure a highly reliable, resilient distribution grid with sophisticated control capabilities.

Cost-effective insight and control

DI is made up of intelligent devices (like meters and sensors), a smart and secure network, and various applications, software and services. With edge computing capability, DI makes distribution-level decisions in real time, where those decisions—and actions—need to take place, at the edge.

    Intelligence

Distributed energy resources (DERs such as solar, wind and EVs) place increasingly variable and complex load onto the grid—and it's more important than ever to understand their impact.

Distributed intelligence (DI) from Itron moves analysis, decision-making and control to the grid's edge. This unique capability provides unprecedented insights into power quality, voltage monitoring, high impedance detection, transformer load management, meter bypass detection, EV and solar (PV) awareness, and much more.

Dl applications can be downloaded from the Itron Enterpeise Application Center to devices in the field to enable new functionality and new value. Learn more about the challenges our application solves today, as well as some on the horizon.
