Grid Operations: Powering a sustainable tomorrow

Today, utilities are transforming traditional grid operations using innovative solutions in AI, automation, cloud, IoT, and more to meet enhanced reliability and security goals. The Internet of Things (IoT) and sophisticated software solutions are crucial for the information exchange in the energy industry. Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a key component of distributed energy resources (DERs), significantly impacting electricity demand during peak hours and necessitating improved coordination between grid operators to manage load and maintain grid reliability. At the same time, they’re navigating a changing power generation landscape characterized by a complex interplay of variables.

At Logic20/20, we partner with utilities to maintain a safe, dependable power supply with solutions that range from vendor selection and system implementation to AMI 2.0 to process optimization and new technology adoption.

Overview of grid operations

Grid operations encompass the management and control of the electric grid to ensure a reliable and efficient energy supply. As the electric grid undergoes significant technological advancements, the integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) applications is becoming increasingly prevalent. The electrification of various aspects of life—such as phones, tablets, cars, and heating/cooling systems—necessitates additional electricity to run effectively and reliably. Consequently, grid operations are evolving to meet the demands of the energy transition, ensuring that the systems in place can handle the increased load while maintaining stability and efficiency.

Grid operator roles and responsibilities

Grid operators are pivotal in maintaining the stability and efficiency of the electric grid. Their responsibilities include managing and controlling the flow of electricity, predicting and preventing outages, and optimizing energy distribution.
