Landis+Gyr Embraces AI with EPRI's Open Power AI Consortium

In a significant move for the electric power industry, Landis+Gyr, a global leader in energy technology, has announced its membership in the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI) Open Power AI (OPAI) Consortium. This initiative is aimed at harnessing the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the reliability, efficiency, and overall performance of power delivery across the utility sector.

Strengthening the Grid with AI Applications

Launched by EPRI, the OPAI Consortium focuses on the development of open-source AI tools and models that address the pressing challenges faced by electric utilities. Through this consortium, Landis+Gyr aims to contribute significantly to the evolution of AI use cases that are crucial for delivering reliable energy. The consortium will also provide an AI sandbox for members, allowing them to test and validate their AI applications before real-world deployment.

Jeremy Renshaw, EPRI's Director of Open Power AI and Quantum, emphasizes the consortium's goal: "The end goal is to enhance grid reliability, optimize the performance of existing assets, and reduce costs for utility customers." This collaboration will allow utilities, national laboratories, and technology providers to work together, sharing insights and strategies to tackle emerging challenges in power systems.

A Leap Forward in Grid Edge Intelligence

Landis+Gyr is already a pioneer in grid edge intelligence, especially with its Revelo® metering platform. This advanced technology provides real-time high-resolution data on voltage and current, enabling utilities to better manage demand, protect assets, and integrate distributed energy resources (DER). This is vital in maintaining an affordable and reliable energy supply that meets contemporary demands.

"This initiative represents a strategic opportunity for Landis+Gyr to collaborate with leading utilities and technology partners to advance AI applications for our customers," stated Amith Kota, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Landis+Gyr. The access to a repository of ready-to-use AI models and analytics will further bolster Landis+Gyr’s already robust app development ecosystem.

Advancing the Future of the Electric Sector

The OPAI Consortium aims to reshape the electric sector by leveraging advanced AI technologies in innovative ways. Its collaborative approach seeks to drive the development and deployment of AI solutions that will enhance operational efficiencies and sustainability while cutting costs and improving customer experience.

Landis+Gyr's inclusion in this consortium not only enhances its position in the electric power industry but also signifies a commitment to fostering a more resilient and efficient grid. With the backing of EPRI and the collective knowledge of the consortium's members, the potential to innovate and streamline electric utility operations is vast.

This partnership highlights the essential role that collaboration plays in navigating the future of energy technology.
