The way we manage critical infrastructures, such as power grids, is essential for the functioning of our modern societies. However, these infrastructures are becoming increasingly complex and are subjected to significant stress by both natural and human sources. This is why, to ensure they are reliable, efficient and safe, new technologies and innovative approaches are essential.
Air is the most commonly used insulating tool in the transmission grid. However, to fasten conductors in open-air environments, various types of insulators are required. These devices prevent the flow of electrical current between two points, helping to avoid short circuits and ensuring the safety of electrical installations.
The management of critical infrastructures, such as the electrical grid, is facing increasingly complex challenges, and artificial intelligence (AI) could be the key to transforming the industry's efficiency and competitiveness. In this sense, AI has emerged in recent years as a disruptive technology with the potential to revolutionise how we manage these infrastructures.
Elewit, Redeia's technology platform, aims to take another step forward in Technology Monitoring to make maximum use of new technologies with the potential to drive the energy transition and connectivity. Faced with an immense choice of innovative solutions that are being developed thanks to scientific advancements, constant monitoring is required to analyse the options that they can offer, not just for Redeia but for society as a whole.
