How AI Unlocked Capacity Across NSW’s Energy Grid

Feb 22, 2023 –

Working with Neara, Essential Energy, one of Australia’s largest electricity distributors, doubled their New South Wales network’s available capacity. Using Neara’s 3D interactive model, they have optimized an impressive 1.4 million conductors.

“We have found that the temperature that those lines can operate at it is much higher than we previously understood. Historically, we have had to apply a crude standard across the network. By modelling each span individually, we found that in many parts, the capacity is twice at high as we previously thought,” Essential Energy CEO John Cleland said.
