Smarter Data Solutions to Meet Energy Demands

When industries transform, opportunities emerge. That’s certainly true in the energy industry, where rapid digitalization, the shift to renewable energy and the rise of self-generating communities are disrupting the grid, rapidly reshaping the industry — and creating opportunities for innovation.

In the midst of this transformation — when the need for fast, accurate business intelligence is greatest — organizations are struggling to regain control over their data. Many utilities, vendors and end users are overwhelmed by the amount and variety of their data, which is often spread across silos, with incompatible data protocols and no way to perform the advanced analytics necessary for growth and competitive differentiation.

The Hitachi America R&D’s Energy Solutions team focuses on solving these challenges and bringing fast, accurate data collection, management and analytics to the energy industry. Our approach is based on customer-focused innovation and centers on these key areas:

  • Internet of things (IoT) data solutions for energy equipment, i.e. inverters and power equipment
  • Advanced data analytics on:
    • Renewable forecasting
    • Energy storage operation for multiple revenue streams
    • Distribution resource planning and operation
    • Distribution energy resource modeling and simulation
