In the world of utilities transmission and distribution (T&D), the expected revenue impact of the coronavirus is rising with each passing quarter. However, as world economies try to minimize the losses caused in the T&D sector, technology innovations in the renewable energy space and the development of IoT-based monitoring and maintenance solutions are helping the industry stay on its path of continual evolution.For instance, a majority of T&D companies today are bolstering their network and operations management with a mission to drive increased reliability and address the problems of legacy infrastructures. T&D is also experiencing periodic disruptions in its operations due to the increasing use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, and other next-gen technologies. With these innovations, industry professionals are addressing the issues with on-demand T&D services and create an overall grid for electricity, water, among others, which can be managed remotely. In fact, several companies are already leveraging remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS) to track the health of T&D grids in real-time. In this way, state-of-the-art technology applications are still changing the way T&D solutions are implemented and enhancing the efficiencies of consumer utilization. This edition of Utilities Tech Outlook features insights from T&D industry leaders and innovative solution providers. We hope this edition is helpful in preparing you for the present and future challenges in the industry.Let us know your thoughts.
