Case Study: Energy 4.0 Project achieves smarter, safer power grid digitization with Plain Concepts

Energy 4.0 Project digitizes the power grid with Plain Concepts for 3D AR monitoring

The customer, Energy 4.0 Project, faced the challenge of needing to digitize and secure its power grid by replacing analog technologies in electrical substations. Their goal was to improve safety, accuracy, and decarbonization efforts across the entire energy value chain. To address this, they partnered with vendor Plain Concepts.

Plain Concepts implemented a solution using their Evergine graphics engine to create 3D augmented reality representations of critical infrastructure, allowing for remote operator instructions. The solution also incorporated an AI and big data approach, including a predictive anomaly algorithm and monitoring tools. This digitization by Plain Concepts resulted in a more efficient and intelligent process management, improved security, automation, and live analysis of the network status leading to lower energy loss.
