Game-changing solutions built on the unique domain expertise of the technology and market leader in power grids which integrate with Hitachi's Lumada platform
Zurich, November 16, 2021 – Further to its press release on October 13, 2021, announcing its evolution to Hitachi Energy, the global technology and market leader in power grids today launched IdentiQ™, its digital twin(1) solutions for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and power quality solutions. IdentiQ(2) will help to advance the world's energy system to be more sustainable, flexible and secure, accelerating the transition towards a carbon-neutral future.
IdentiQ is the digital twin of a HVDC converter station, STATCOM or other power quality solution. It provides all the relevant asset information, analytics and operational data in an intuitive and easy-to-navigate dashboard, which users can customize to match their needs. IdentiQ includes 3D interactive visualization of the complete asset, combined with one-click access to all the associated plant and equipment information, including engineering documentation, operational and maintenance procedures, safety training and live operational data for monitoring and analytics.
"IdentiQ is a game-changing digital twin solution built on our unique domain expertise and leadership in power grid technologies and innovation," said Niklas Persson, Managing Director of Hitachi Energy's Grid Integration business. Niklas added, "It is a significant addition to Hitachi Energy's digital offering and supports our customers' efforts to continuously enhance the efficiency and reliability of their grid investments."
IdentiQ will enable customers to improve the management of power grid assets by clustering all information into one digital location for seamless access by all operational functions. This approach stands at the core of Hitachi Energy's vision for digital twin technology: delivering the right resources and information to the right people at the right time for optimized operations and smarter decision making.
IdentiQ makes HVDC and power quality assets more:
Digitalization is essential to making electricity the backbone of the entire energy system and advancing a sustainable energy future for all. It is key to the integration of bulk and distributed renewables, as well as the electrification and decarbonization of sectors like transportation, industries and data centers; and empowering countries and companies to meet their carbon emission reduction goals.
IdentiQ integrates with a range of enterprise business systems, including Hitachi's Lumada platform and the Lumada suite of Asset and Work Management software, and together they provide system-wide visibility – from the site to the boardroom. IdentiQ is part of Hitachi Energy's ambition to drive the pace of digital and eco-efficient innovation in power grid technologies and accelerate the transition towards carbon-neutral energy systems. The launch builds on a year of powerful innovation from Hitachi Energy, including:
Both portfolios are integral to Hitachi Energy's Sustainability 2030 strategic plan, which draws on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals to deliver social, environmental and economic value.
