Tantalus Launches TRUGrid(TM) Transformer to Accelerate Grid Modernization
Multiple utilities harness the power of data through AI-enabled analytics to optimize grid performance and extend the life of transformers
多家公用事業公司通過支持人工智能的分析來利用數據的力量來優化電網性能並延長變壓器的使用壽命
Burnaby, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 7, 2024) - Tantalus Systems (TSX: GRID) ("Tantalus" or the "Company"), a smart grid technology company focused on helping utilities harness the power of data, today announced the commercial launch of its data analytics capability, TRUGrid Transformer, which is actively being deployed by a growing number of utilities across North America. TRUGrid Transformer is an expansion of Tantalus' TRUGrid Automation suite of AI-enabled data analytics. This offering enables utilities to access, analyze and visualize up to 36 months of data from transformers across the grid to not only detect voltage issues, such as sags and swells, but also to identify anomalies in real time from changing weather patterns and evolving consumer behavior.
不列顛哥倫比亞省本那比--(Newsfile Corp.,2024 年 2 月 7 日)-Tantalus Systems (TSX:網格) (“Tantalus” 或 “公司”)是一家專注於幫助公用事業利用數據力量的智能電網技術公司,今天宣佈其數據分析功能TruGrid Transformer已商業推出,北美越來越多的公用事業公司正在積極部署該功能。TruGrid Transformer 是 Tantalus 的 TruGrid 自動化人工智能數據分析套件的擴展。該產品使公用事業公司能夠訪問、分析和可視化來自電網各處變壓器的長達36個月的數據,不僅可以檢測電壓問題,例如下垂和驟升,還可以實時識別天氣模式變化和消費者行爲變化的異常情況。
By harnessing this level of data, TRUGrid Transformer empowers utilities to constantly monitor, anticipate and prioritize transformer issues and sizing as consumers install an electric vehicle (EV) charger at their home or otherwise change their consumption of electricity. TRUGrid's data analytics capability also allows utilities to react intelligently and rapidly to events that threaten the stability of the grid. The benefits include preventing or mitigating catastrophic outages, tracking loading on transformers and navigating crippling supply chain constraints that have led to extended lead times for new transformers.
通過利用這一級別的數據,TruGrid Transformer使公用事業能夠在消費者在家中安裝電動汽車(EV)充電器或以其他方式改變用電量時持續監控、預測變壓器問題和規模並確定其優先順序。TruGrid 的數據分析功能還允許公用事業對威脅電網穩定的事件做出智能而快速的反應。好處包括防止或緩解災難性停電、跟蹤變壓器的負荷以及應對導致新變壓器交貨時間延長的嚴重供應鏈限制。
Transformer management through data analytics is increasingly in demand as utilities are facing a massive shortage and extended lead times for these critical infrastructure assets. According to research firm Wood Mackenzie, average wait times for new transformers have increased from 115 weeks in 2021 to 130 weeks in 2023. In response, several utilities are leveraging TRUGrid Transformer analytics to accelerate grid modernization and mitigate the risks of not having enough transformers available to operate their grids prudently and effectively.
隨着公用事業公司面臨着這些關鍵基礎設施資產的嚴重短缺和更長的交貨期,通過數據分析進行變壓器管理的需求越來越大。根據研究公司伍德·麥肯齊的數據,新變壓器的平均等待時間已從2021年的115周增加到2023年的130周。作爲回應,一些公用事業公司正在利用 TruGrid Transformer 分析來加速電網現代化,降低沒有足夠的變壓器來謹慎有效地運營電網的風險。
"When transformers go down, utilities face outages, safety issues, costs and negatively impact their customers. Unfortunately, transformer failures are a question of when - not if - these costly disruptions will impact operations," said Peter Londa, President and CEO of Tantalus. "Our TRUGrid Transformer analytics solution delivers the visibility, command and control utilities need to get ahead of this issue and avoid running these critical assets right up to or beyond a point of failure. This capability is yet one more example of how Tantalus is helping utilities modernize their distribution grids by harnessing the power of data."
“當變壓器發生故障時,公用事業面臨停電、安全問題和成本,並對客戶產生負面影響。不幸的是,變壓器故障問題在於這些代價高昂的中斷何時——而不是是否會影響運營。” Tantalus總裁兼首席執行官彼得·隆達說。“我們的 TruGrid Transformer 分析解決方案提供了公用事業所需的可見性、指揮和控制功能,可以提前解決這個問題,避免將這些關鍵資產直接運行到或超過故障點。這種能力是Tantalus如何利用數據的力量幫助公用事業實現配電網現代化的又一個例子。”
As an integral part of the Tantalus Grid Modernization Platform (TGMP), TRUGrid Transformer's intuitive map visualization allows utilities to select and view individual transformers, identifying the at-risk units likely to cause a problem. In addition, deep diagnostic tools show how much a transformer is being loaded and when it absolutely must be replaced with a new unit that is properly sized. This information allows utilities to avoid the costs, disruptions in service and safety issues associated with transformer failures. Additionally, utilities can proactively plan how best to manage and upgrade their assets.
作爲 Tantalus 電網現代化平台 (TGMP) 不可或缺的一部分,TruGrid Transformer 的直觀地圖可視化允許公用事業公司選擇和查看單個變壓器,識別可能導致問題的風險單元。此外,深度診斷工具可以顯示變壓器的負載量,以及何時必須將其更換爲大小合適的新裝置。這些信息使公用事業公司能夠避免與變壓器故障相關的成本、服務中斷和安全問題。此外,公用事業公司可以主動規劃如何最好地管理和升級其資產。
"Tantalus' TRUGrid Transformer solution helped us identify multiple residential and commercial accounts that had incorrect PT and/or CT multipliers," stated Bryan Smith, Technical Services Supervisor at NineStar Connect. "By correcting these issues, we were able to recover a significant amount of lost revenue as well as put processes in place to ensure this does not happen again. Essentially, TRUGrid Transformer paid for itself in a very short period of time."
NineStar Connect技術服務主管布萊恩·史密斯表示:“Tantalus的TruGrid Transformer解決方案幫助我們識別了多個PT和/或CT乘數不正確的住宅和商業賬戶。”“通過糾正這些問題,我們得以彌補大量收入損失,並制定了流程來確保這種情況不會再次發生。從本質上講,TruGrid Transformer在很短的時間內就收回了成本。”
The TRUGrid Transformer solution is suited for the growing number of utilities that are seeking to use data analytics to improve their grid reliability and resiliency. Tantalus is offering TRUGrid Transformer as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription to investor-owned utilities, public power utilities and electric cooperative utilities across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean basin.
TruGrid Transformer 解決方案適用於越來越多的尋求使用數據分析來提高電網可靠性和彈性的公用事業。Tantalus正在向美國、加拿大和加勒比海盆地的投資者擁有的公用事業公司、公共電力公司和電力合作公用事業公司提供軟件即服務(SaaS)訂閱的TruGrid Transformer。
