Simulations might hold the secret to success for utility firms that are looking to optimize field services.
FREMONT, CA: Simulation helps in creating an approximate representation of the real world. It allows a risk-free and reasonable way to test settings for simple alterations of a particular part to a total redesign of entire systems. The utility industry is now turning to simulation software to address future challenges in expanding and enhancing field services. Utility firms are also counting on digital twins to streamline operations and maintenance while proactively dealing with issues about real on-field assets. As a result, the development of digital twins is a trend that is gaining ground across utilities.
Digital twins can create a digital representation of the real-world assets and equipment, which allows utility operators to comprehend the performance of the system, predict future difficulties, and solve problems. The technology is increasingly gaining popularity, especially in combination with the internet of things (IoT). Smart sensors and control systems can provide a treasure of information from the real world that was not accessible in the past. With technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), utility firms are now able to enhance their digital twin experience. Digital twin simulation entitles utility companies to decode the interrelation between individual components of a system and the entire system.
Apart from digital twins, simulation software is also contributing to streamlined management of every aspect of field service in the utility sector. Visibility into the remotest corner where equipment is deployed is now exceedingly convenient. For electric utilities, evaluating and checking power supply comes easy with digital twin technology.
Digital twins and simulation software are together transforming the utility experience for the companies in the utility sector. Early investments in simulation technology will ensure that utility firms master field services better than ever.
