Energy and Water

All utilities face the challenge of keeping services reliable, affordable and secure, all while reinventing their business models to cope with the emergence of sustainable alternatives. By laying foundations to harness data from huge fleets of smart devices and leveraging the power of automation, machine learning and AI, utilities can successfully navigate this environment and realise the performance potential in their critical assets.

Realise the performance potential of your critical assets.

Improving how critical asset infrastructure is operated and maintained is critical to ensure energy and water supply interruptions are minimised and network efficiency is optimised. At the same time, utilities providers must transition to sustainable methods of operation in order to meet exacting environmental, social and governance (ESG) requirements.

All utilities are now faced with a fleet of smart devices, all generating huge volumes of data that are being collected and presented in control centres around the world. The human ability to keep abreast of the alarms and alerts being generated is being outpaced. The need to digitally transform these nerve centres to maintain the reliability and integrity of these networks is here and now.

Only through a solid foundation of complete and accurate data, which is no longer managed by humans, but by robotic process automation, machine learning and AI, will utilities organisations be able to keep pace with the growing number of smart end points on their networks.

Water Utilities

COSOL has extensive experience in enabling water utilities to monitor and manage water services. By better utilising data insights, water utilities have redesigned urban estates to allow for more natural waterways, improved treatment and reuse of wastewater and improved management of water catchment areas.

Electricity Utilities

Energy utilities are redesigning and rebuilding traditional electricity networks that distribute large generation sources in a single direction across high and low voltage networks to consumers and businesses. Now these same consumers and business are generating power themselves and wanting to store it or send it back across the same network and monetise it.

Gas Utilities

Gas networks are investigating sustainable alternatives to natural gas. The use of renewable electricity to create hydrogen in ‘power to gas’ facilities is seen as a clean way to provide hydrogen fuel for heavy machinery into the future.
