Elewit and Hispasat launched a challenge to simplify the installation process of the satellite connection antenna
  • This will allow us to use technology in a more universal and efficient manner, also improving the times required by specialised technicians.
  • This initiative allows the intensification of the roll-out of wideband in rural and remote areas.
  • The call, directed at the whole entrepreneurial ecosystem, will be open until September 30th.

 

The Red Eléctrica Group is changing its brand name to Redeia to strengthen its positioning as a global manager of essential infrastructures
  • The Company has updated its corporate brand image to respond to a business need resulting from its evolution, growth and diversification that has led it to become a manager of essential and global infrastructures both in the energy and telecommunications sectors.
  • This new brand encompasses all its businesses: Red Eléctrica, Reintel, Hispasat, Redinter (the new brand of the Company’s international subsidiary) and Elewit, five benchmark companies and leaders in their sectors.

 

Health indices in asset management

Health indices play a key role within APM (Asset Performance Management) systems. In a nutshell, a health index describes the state or technical condition of an asset by means of a score, and therefore its current performance and degradation. They can even go further, indicating what its state will be in the future.

“The challenges we are currently facing can only be addressed through innovation”
  • This second edition of the Innovation Sessions brought together entrepreneurs from the innovation ecosystem in Spain with agents from the energy and telecommunications sector.
  • The meeting saw the unveiling of different innovation projects that Elewit, Group companies and technology partners are developing in order to promote the energy transition and universal and inclusive connectivity.
  • The Alten Group was also named the winner of a challenge to come up with new high-voltage pylons designs.

Leveraging data governance processes in asset management digital transformation

Data Governance is becoming increasingly widespread in many areas and sectors. However, what does it actually mean? It refers to the management of the availability, integrity, usability and security of a company's or business unit's data, based on a set of internal rules and policies that control its use. Effective data governance can mitigate risks, generate knowledge, and accelerate and improve decision-making in asset management. It also ensures the consistency, quality and reliability of the data.

Red Eléctrica and Elewit seek innovative designs for high voltage power line towers
  • They are launching a technological innovation challenge to find innovative solutions to continue to drive the evolution and modernisation of these infrastructures.
  • The call is available for the whole ecosystem and will remain open until 19 April.

Red Eléctrica de España, operator and transporter of the electricity system, and Elewit, the Group's technology platform, are jointly launching a technological innovation challenge to find new designs for high-voltage power line towers (also known as pylons).

Towards preventive and predictive maintenance thanks to SAGA

Asset management is one of the cornerstones of companies’ maintenance processes. It involves two lines of work that are key to maintaining productivity, reducing the risk of failure and, consequently, maximising the availability of resources. On the one hand, a comprehensive infrastructure monitoring of aging assets is required to maximise its effectiveness and efficiency. On the other hand, the integration of new technologies and digital transformation processes is essential to implement new ways of asset management and monitoring.

The European Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson, gets acquainted with the innovation ecosystem of the Red Eléctrica Group
  • The Commissioner visited the head office of Elewit, the Group's technology platform created in 2019 to develop innovative solutions to drive the green transition and the digital transformation.
  • During the event, the technology companies Zeleros, Hesstec and Nearby Computing presented to the Commissioner the innovative projects they are developing and promoting with the support of the Red Eléctrica Group.
  • At this meeting in Madrid, Kadri Simson also visited the CECORE, Red Eléctrica de España's back-up electricity control centre for the operation of the system.
Artificial Intelligence, the key to SAGA’s efficiency

It is important to understand the role played in SAGA by certain technologies, the advanced solution for asset management in the electricity sector that has been developed by the TSOs REE and ELIA. Understanding how these technologies complement each other is the key to making the most of the potential that this tool offers the industry.

Among the many technologies that SAGA relies on, Artificial Intelligence is essential for supporting its knowledge management:

EPICS platform: flexible and scalable implementation of automatic systems

All projects carried out at Elewit have an ultimate goal: to improve people's daily lives; our future. And we do this through innovation. We currently face various challenges that must be solved through technology. One such challenge addresses the possibilities of integrating new algorithms and functions in automatic substation systems.
