Automation solutions for energy and infrastructure
In the energy and infrastructure industries, automation software such as zenon from COPA-DATA offers sector-
specific advantages to keep your energy utility on top. From power generation to distribution and smart grids, a
number of well-defined industry standards, such as the ISO, ISA, IEEE, IEC and so forth, ensure the reliable
operation of electrical utilities. As these standards evolve, new loT- and cloud-driven solutions are finding their way
into modem utility operations. These advancements, altogether, are enabling fully digitalized energy assets,
unlocking tremendous efficiency potential and creating new business opportunities,
Navigating current challenges in energy supply
Advancing technology, the introduction of digital business models and the integration of renewable energy have
brought new challenges to the energy sector, as the world’s dependence on reliable and clean energy supplies has
soared. While utilities can deploy digital techniques to manage complex systems and increase their energy
efficiency, they are often challenged to find a future proof solution to integrate renewable resources with the
‘Smart Grid to embrace a more digital future and the rising global energy demand. Whether you work in renewable
energy, energy storage or another part of the industry, systems must evolve to meet growing demand,
Some of the current challenges industry players must navigate include:
