Smart Grids
Digitalisation is a key tool for optimising operational-financial efficiency in the planning and operation of the electrical distribution network.
Aplicaciones Tecnológicas S.A can become your partner in this transformation process.
The digitalisation of electrical distribution is linked to intelligent networks or Smart Grids. A Smart Grid integrates information and communication technologies (ICT) into the electrical grid. This is a necessity of the energy transformation process to achieve economic development and sustainability objectives.

Technological allies for the digitalisation of electrical distribution
At Aplicaciones Tecnológicas S.A we are experts in the development of different technologies on which the digitalisation of the electrical network is based:
Data collection
Through measurement elements (sensors), changes in the monitored network are detected remotely and in real time.
Accurate diagnostics
To transmit the data collected by the sensors, both a communication infrastructure and a communication protocol and data model are required. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms transform the large amount of data collected by sensors into useful information.
Objective multi-channel alerts
Information from processed data facilitates decision-making regarding changes detected in the distribution network. The action elements or actuators enable actions on the monitored physical system.

PREDICTIVE
ASSET MAINTENANCE
Continuous monitoring allows the transition from corrective maintenance to predictive maintenance. This strategy is based on focusing maintenance tasks on the assets most prone to failure thanks to IoT and data processing using AI algorithms. According to studies by several consulting companies, maintenance costs could be reduced by around 21%.
NETWORK
INCIDENT PREDICTION
Real-time monitoring detects failures in network elements accurately and quickly. In this way, the times for locating the fault, repairing the fault and restoring the supply are reduced. As a consequence, the quality of supply is improved and operation and maintenance costs are reduced.
ASSET LIFE CYCLE OPTIMISATION
AND ADVANCED CONTROL
The processing by artificial intelligence (AI) of the data obtained with the sensor elements provides objective and useful information for decision making. Furthermore, by means of actuators, the required actions can be executed automatically.
Digital twin:
benefits and advantages of technology
Digital twin technology is very advantageous to manage the state of physical assets, predict this state and improve their efficiency. A digital twin is a virtual model of a physical device, process, or system.
The monitoring carried out on the physical twin is used in the digital twin to simulate, predict and optimise the operation of the monitored physical asset.
Aplicaciones Tecnológicas SA’s digital twins facilitate proper maintenance, increase efficiency, minimise costs and evaluate the risks of network failures.
