Energy management can be broadly defined as the use of proactive, organized and systematic energy management in buildings or organizations to meet environmental and economic needs. Companies across the sector are shifting to energy management as a way to reduce their operating costs. Specific requirements and practices vary by sector, but core principles apply to
Cloud technology has leveraged many sectors in this new era of internet, from marketing to biotechnology and real estate. However, many who are unaware are the level of change that the energy sector has seen in lifting and using clouds. What are the benefits of the cloud for modern times in the energy sector? 1.
Today’s energy and utility companies face an unfamiliar landscape where they must combine alternative energy, develop comprehensive awareness and strengthen their relationship with customers, while continuing to do what they do-providing reliable, safe and affordable energy to all people. Organizations who want to grow their businesses use analytics to improve agility and responsiveness, reduce operating
Cloud computing is simply the delivery of IT services via the internet. Instead of buying huge IT estates to install multi-million-pound software systems on and store untold petabytes of data, in the cloud model, the data and services are entirely handled by an external provider. For utilities, a typical current scenario is a collage of
SCADA systems are essential for industrial organizations as they help maintain efficiency, process data for smarter results, and communicate system issues to help reduce time. The SCADA system includes hardware and software components. Hardware collects and consumes data into computers that have SCADA software installed. The computer then processes this data and presents it on
Cloud-based software has been a boon for just about every industry, enabling businesses of all sizes to take advantage of security, speed, and scalability ensured by massive services providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS).
