The limited availability of real images of rare anomalies represents one of the main challenges in developing artificial intelligence models for the inspection of electrical infrastructures.
When designing the transmission grid, reinforcing the resilience of the grid's infrastructure against extreme weather events or exceptional situations that can cause cascading tower collapses is a fundamental criterion to ensure asset integrity. Overhead lines themselves are structured by incorporating reinforced anchor towers distributed along the route, which also play a key role as anti-cascade towers.
As part of its commitment to innovation that creates value for both business and the ecosystem, Elewit, Redeia’s technology platform, has developed its own model to drive and scale technological solutions through its New Ventures vehicle. This approach combines internal expertise, collaboration with external partners, and a strong market focus, enabling the launch of new business initiatives such as SafeDelimit and Arin Technologies.
Through its Corporate Venture Capital, Elewit seeks to promote and explore developing new businesses that offer solutions to key challenges facing Redeia companies.
Elewit, as Redeia’s technology platform and through its Corporate Venture Capital initiative, seeks technology-based startups that align strategically with energy transition and connectivity goals.
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.
With over 75 years of experience, Arteche has become a leader in the electrical sector, spanning from generation to distribution. Specialised in electrical equipment, components, and solutions, the company is known for its innovative approach. In line with this commitment, Arteche’s partnership with Elewit focuses on accelerating innovation and developing sustainable solutions.
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.
The strategic collaboration between Elewit and Nearby Computing is driving the deployment of 5G and smart asset management through Edge Computing. This way, they strengthen their market position and accelerate the development of advanced technological solutions that meet the growing demands for real-time connectivity and processing.
