De-risk the Great Grid Upgrade
Neutralize everything from coastal flooding risks to design roadblocks
Neutralize everything from coastal flooding risks to design roadblocks
Simulate coastal flooding and erosion conditions to identify which assets are most vulnerable and chart your network’s strongest, most cost-effective path to resilience. Prescribe protective measures, from full tower replacement to foundation reinforcement and flood defence wall installation to strategically re-locating certain assets. Easily execute cost-benefit analyses with the full confidence that Neara’s AI-assisted network model has every bit of context you need to drive the most effective decisions for your network and community.
Digitally design the most efficient, resilient, community-friendly 90km of new network possible. Try on endless combinations of new network configurations until the right one clicks — well before major risks have a chance to derail your project in real life. Digitising new network assets means you can quickly and cost-effectively surface potential roadblocks early so that you encounter fewer speedbumps down the line — giving you ample time to identify and address potential objections. A single version of the design plan in a single platform keeps everyone on the same page, from local politicians to field engineers.
As the Great Grid Upgrade progresses, how can your existing assets contribute to expanding capacity across the infrastructure you already have? Collapse interconnection wait times and start moving 176GW of renewable energy out of the queue and online faster. Neara’s AI-assisted dynamic line rating functionality helps you precisely size up available capacity at scale using live weather or sensor data so you can maximize throughput from your existing network. It’s a shortcut for expanding network capacity that doesn’t cut any corners.
By monitoring water and clearance levels daily, SA Power Networks was able to leave power on for longer as floodwaters rose and restore power more quickly as water receded. This innovative approach, based on digital insights, allowed for the re-energisation of power lines within five days, compared with the originally anticipated three-week timeframe using traditional manual methods.
