Centralize renewable operations around the world on AWS

Centralize renewable operations around the world on AWS

The past 20 years have witnessed a change in how we produce electricity. The primary change has been a shift from fossil fuels (coal and oil) to renewables (wind and solar) as a result of increased demand for power and efforts to decarbonize the grid. Renewable energy is often not generated in single centralized power […]

Unleashing sustainable potential: harnessing machine learning on AWS for optimal energy usage

Unleashing sustainable potential: harnessing machine learning on AWS for optimal energy usage

Organizations have been looking to modernize their legacy Building Management System (BMS) with data analytics and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML). Although they can help organizations achieve their sustainability goals, improve energy management, and other smart building capabilities, they can also turn into a substantial setback if the systems aren’t set up properly to use the […]

Building digital twins with IBM for energy and utilities customers on AWS

“We really need to kick the carbon habit and stop making our energy from burning things. Climate change is also really important. You can wreck one rainforest then move, drain one area of resources and move onto another, but climate change is global.” —Sir David Attenborough Greenhouse gases that are already present in the atmosphere […]

Achieving robust closed-loop control in remote locations with Kelvin’s edge-cloud communication

In today’s digital landscape, optimizing the performance of distributed assets in remote locations poses unique challenges. Achieving closed-loop control, where real-time monitoring and adjustments are made based on feedback, becomes particularly difficult when reliable and consistent connectivity is not guaranteed. However, with the advent of distributed edge computing, companies like Kelvin are revolutionizing the way […]
