The modern energy industry faces a complex challenge: how to balance the growing demand for energy with the need to reduce carbon emissions and ensure sustainability and equity. Technology is a key part of the solution to the energy trilemma. It can power innovative solutions to transform the way energy is produced, distributed, and consumed—every part of energy operations.
To open up these solutions, energy operations need to improve energy conservation and efficiency, boost reliability and energy conversion, and lower the variation of operations and environmental impact. Two paths lay before us to the digital transformation we need modernize the operations for the future:
1. Increase the effectiveness of existing energy sources
In just the past few years, technologies have exploded onto the energy operations scene so quickly that the industry is still absorbing their impacts. We’re on the verge of a revolution powered by the hyperscale cloud, AI breakthroughs, and Internet of Things (IoT) sensor capabilities. Together they’re changing everything from field systems to delivery chains—increasing efficiency and security of energy management and delivery. And there’s so much more to explore.
2. Reduce process variability and emissions
Using those very technologies, we have an unprecedented opportunity to improve production and distribution reliability through condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and digital twins to reduce (operating expenditure) OPEX, capital expenditure (CAPEX), and emission.
