This partnership, which began in 2019, will help PG&amp;E create a digital twin of its infrastructure using LiDAR and RGB imagery analysis.<\/p>\n<h3>The Potential for Digital Twins in Utilities<\/h3>\n<p>Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical assets, processes, or systems that capture real-time data and behavior.In the context of power grids, digital twins can create a comprehensive virtual representation of the entire network, including generation, transmission, and distribution assets. \u00a0These digital replicas enable stakeholders to apply AI-powered analysis for enhanced understanding and management of the grid as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>By integrating data from various sources such as sensors, software platforms, and historical records, digital twins can provide a holistic view of the grid&#8217;s performance.\u00a0AI algorithms can then be applied to this rich dataset to simulate scenarios, predict potential issues, optimize operations, and facilitate data-driven decision-making.\u00a0This combination of digital twins and AI can allow utilities to improve grid reliability, enhance maintenance strategies, integrate renewable energy sources more effectively, and respond swiftly to changing demands and potential disruptions.<\/p>\n<h3>Enhancing Grid Resilience<\/h3>\n<p>The collaboration comes at a crucial time for PG&amp;E. Recent wildfires in California have put additional stress on the utility&#8217;s grid, making efficient asset management more important than ever. CORE&#8217;s AI-driven approach offers several benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reduced Field Visits<\/strong>: The software minimizes the need for on-site inspections by optimizing workflows for pole loading calculations and asset estimation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compliance Support<\/strong>: CORE helps PG&amp;E adhere to regulations like California&#8217;s GO95.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Historical Data Integration<\/strong>: The system catalogs network data collected over many years from various sources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Advanced Risk Modeling<\/h3>\n<p>Kristy McDermott, Vice President of Sales at Sharper Shape Inc., emphasized the importance of this partnership:\u00a0&#8220;The innovative application of our CORE platform demonstrates the immense value of combining advanced AI, remote sensing data, and digital twin technology to create safer and more resilient utility infrastructure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CORE&#8217;s capabilities extend to vegetation management and risk modeling, crucial for wildfire prevention. By leveraging data for advanced segmentation and tree species identification, PG&amp;E can better predict and mitigate wildfire risks.<\/p>\n<h3>Data-Driven Decision Making<\/h3>\n<p>The software empowers PG&amp;E&#8217;s data science teams with critical information for developing risk models. This data-centric approach aligns with PG&amp;E&#8217;s commitment to innovation and sustainability in the face of climate change and evolving regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>As California continues to grapple with wildfire threats, this partnership between PG&amp;E and Sharper Shape represents a significant step towards more resilient and efficient utility operations. By harnessing AI and remote sensing technologies, PG&amp;E aims to enhance safety and improve its response to the challenges posed by an increasingly stressed grid.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Want DRONELIFE news delivered to your inbox every weekday? \u00a0Sign up\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/bPA4s5\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Read more:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dronelife.com\/2024\/10\/09\/sharper-shape-introduces-ai-powered-asset-insights-for-utility-inspections\/\">Sharper Shape Introduces AI-Powered Asset Insights for Utility Inspections<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dronelife.com\/2024\/12\/16\/massdot-aeronautics-secures-1-million-grant-for-drone-based-infrastructure-upgrades\/\">MassDOT Aeronautics Secures $1 Million Grant for Drone-Based Infrastructure Upgrades<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dronelife.com\/2023\/06\/14\/sharper-shape-launches-powerline-inspection-software-for-drone-service-providers\/\">Sharper Shape Launches Powerline Inspection Software for Drone Service Providers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5-Year Agreement Aims to Enhance Grid Resilience Amid Growing Wildfire Concerns Pacific Gas &amp; Electric (PG&amp;E) has signed a 5-year agreement with Sharper Shape to use their CORE (Cloud Optimized Remote Evaluation) software for utility asset management.
