Workshop on the digital transformation of the electricity sectorDu 25 au 28 mai 2021

Propulsé par l'Institut technologique de maintenance industrielle (ITMI), affilié au Cégep de Sept-Îles.

Goals:

Acquire knowledge on technologies related to digital transformation in the energy sector, and more specifically in the power grid value chain

Learn how to integrate these technologies into the receiving environments, i.e. facilities, projects, networks, companies, etc., in a useful way that can optimize energy processes and reduce costs.

Learn about the underlying economics of innovation, technology and market disruption, as well as the pros and cons of current digital technologies that drive progress.

Objectives:

Acquire knowledge on technologies related to digital transformation in the energy sector, and more specifically in the value chain of electricity

grids Learn how to integrate these technologies into the stakeholder environment, i.e. facilities, projects, networks, companies… etc., in a useful way that can optimize energy processes and reduce costs.

Learn about the underlying economics of innovation, technology, and market disruption, as well as the pros and cons of current digital technologies that drive progress.

Digitalization has been increasingly adopted by all major market sectors over the past few years, and the energy industry is no exception. Tech innovation is no longer associated only with the replacement of paperwork with automated electronic systems. The next step is the reinvention of the ways that energy and utilities companies do business, engage their customers and interact with them. Besides customer interactions, the digital transformation is reshaping the entire energy utility value chain, including generation, transmission, distribution, billing and back office. The transmission and distribution grids are expected to become communication-enabled, self-healing networks with the ability to increasingly act as balancing system, manage two-way power flow, and optimize assets lifecycle management using sensors and data analysis.

Topics:

  1. The emerging technologies that can disrupt the energy sector: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Blockchain, Big Data and Data Analysis, Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, Nano technologies, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), 3D printing, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
  2. How digital transformation is reshaping the energy and electricity sectors.
  3. To what extent is digital transformation redefining the relationship between the energy utility companies and consumers.
  4. How are new innovations driving energy efficiency and distributed energy resources.
  5. How can new energy trading models, such as peer-to-peer energy trading and Virtual Power Plants, affect the current energy business models and networks
  6. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this digital transformation and how to deal with cybersecurity.

Technological innovation is no longer solely associated with replacing paperwork with automated electronic systems. The next step is to reinvent the ways in which energy and utilities companies do business, engage and interact with their customers. In addition to customer interactions, digital transformation is reshaping the entire energy utility value chain, including generation, transmission, distribution, billing, and back office. It is expected that transmission and distribution networks will become communication-enabled self-healing networks, capable of increasingly acting as a balancing system, managing bidirectional energy flow, and optimizing asset lifecycle management using sensors and data analytics.
