Grid operators are increasingly becoming data operators. Using data from smart devices, such as smart meters, sensors, control devices, and charging points, becomes crucial for maintaining reliability on the grid, planning investments, and accelerating the energy transition. NTCS Energy supports grid operators in defining strategies for data management, transforming IT architecture, and building digital skills within the organization.
At NTCS Energy, we believe a grid operator that acknowledges the new role as data operator needs to define a strategy for data management and needs to review and transform its IT architecture. Taking this step allows them to leverage the value of collected data to increase operational performance, enhance customer services, and engage in new commercial activities.
A well-defined Data Management Strategy includes:
Clear data ownership and accountability.
Established data governance.
Data validation processes.
Regular data quality checks and audits.
Robust cybersecurity measures to protect data.
Enablement of using analytics and visualisation tools for presenting insights to decision-makers.
A well-deployed IT architecture should foster:
Minimisation of downtime with high availability and reliable architecture.
Fostered integration among different IT systems and applications.
Interoperability with third-party solutions and partners.
Implemented data exchange standards and APIs.
Flexibility to adapt to evolving requirements.
Continuously monitored and optimised IT system performance.
Investment in hardware and software that maximise efficiency.
