Energy and Utilities
A suite of applications designed specifically to optimize and future-proof distribution networks
The energy and utilities industries have had more than ten years to evolve and support increased power consumption. But, as access and demand for energy expands, utility companies need to ensure they are adapting to this new digital shift. Especially with the deployment of generation and distributed-energy resources such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, solar PV, and complex smart grids.
With unprecedented changes on the horizon, the digitization of distribution management systems is becoming a critical factor in keeping pace with the rapidly-changing operating environment, and the uncertainty of evolving business and regulatory models. However, to approach the creation of next-generation utility management tools, energy companies must adopt and triage the following issues to remain competitive:
Luxoft began working for the client in 2008, providing a team up to 60 developers and testers to support their internal development staff. Now, the energy industry is rapidly changing and focusing more on clean, reliable, and affordable energy. Our client needed a team that could provide industry knowledge, strong leadership, and proven success, to ensure the quality of the final products - especially since the grid is becoming increasingly complex with the deployment of more distributed energy resources (DERs) and distributed generation (DG). To ensure the same level of industry knowledge across all developers, Luxoft implemented an extensive knowledge-sharing process within its teams.
The Luxoft teams developed a digital solution that addressed a number of key utility concerns including: increasing network efficiencies; identifying and preventing issues; and balancing supply and demand. In conjunction with the internal teams, Luxoft delivered an Integrated Distribution Management System (IDMS) solution that provided real-time management of distribution networks.
During the development cycle, Luxoft’s agile teams provided our client with:
Luxoft worked with the client to create customized Integrated Distribution Management Systems (IDMS), applications suites designed specifically to meet the needs of real-time management of distribution networks.
Here are just some of the solution features:
Over the last 10 years, Luxoft has deployed several Agile teams with energy and utilities expertise, to assist our client in the development of digital tools for the optimization of energy distribution networks. This has enabled our client to scale and build a unique solution that allows their customers to:
By working together, Luxoft and the client developed a fully-operational solution that has been improving the resilience and efficiency of today’s electric grids, while future-proofing utilities for the increasing demands of tomorrow.
