the electricity industry is entering an
unprecedented time of disruption and
change decarbonization is driving the
adoption of decentralized renewable
energy which in turn brings complexity
to the grid with a multi directional
flow of energy and an increasing number
of connected devices utilities are
looking to digitalization to increase
innovation reduce cost and manage risk
traditionally electric utilities have
operated in siloed organizations where
each department for example network
design has a separate and specific view
of the grid in order to meet the
challenges of the modern grid utilities
need one comprehensive view this
approach reduces inefficient business
processes and eliminates manual data
sharing and as a result utilities can
harness the benefits of digitalization
and provide more innovative services the
networked digital twin from GE provides
a comprehensive view of the grid
combining GIS EMS and a DMS all
powerfully shared across the utility the
networked digital twin is software that
connects physical systems on the grid
with the capabilities of the digital
world it is the digitized version of the
living organism that the modern grid has
become networked digital twin
accumulates data over time about the
structure and location of assets their
operation and the environment in which
they operate on top of that asset data
valuable intelligence is developed using
analytics physics and continuous machine
learning past and present asset
performance and operation are stored as
part of the digital twin and can be used
to predict future outcomes the networked
digital twin builds on the breadth and
depth of GE powers software solutions
and thanks to the power of predicts GES
industrial internet platform critical
business insights and intelligence can
be used with edge devices on-premise and
in the cloud with the networked digital
twin multiple data sources can be fully
leveraged to simulate and predict how
the grid can be optimized
this puts an end to hunches and
guesswork field crews can be dispatched
to the right location with the right
information in order to rapidly fix
what's broken and optimize network
reliability asset maintenance moves from
reactive to predictive and utilities
gain a forward-looking fact-based view
into where they need to make capital
investments in order to remain resilient
increase efficiency and provide better
customer service network digital twin
from GE breaks through organizational
data silos to digitally transform your
grid
