What’s in it for you?
You get an opportunity to scale your solution globally with Hitachi Energy.
What is Hitachi Energy looking for?
To offer customers best in class service solutions to improve reliability, safety, and sustainability of their power assets by involving creativity, experience and technology.
Electrical substations are core to the electricity distribution networks. Millions of substations serve as interconnection points between generation, transmission, distribution, and customers. High (>60 kV) and medium (20-60 kV) voltage substations are critical assets in the power sector and will be the backbone of the entire energy system with lifecycles of more than 30 years.
Aging components cause risks of failures, affecting essential power supply across countries. Major failures cause expensive power breaks and potentially serious incidents with fires and explosions. Many of the electricity substations are very old and located in difficult surroundings, many of them belong to the public network, while others are located in industrial facilities.
Hitachi Energy is continuously developing new services in this area. As an example, they recently launched Reliability Space™, where they help customers around the world in their work to deliver electricity in a resilient, secure, and safe way.
Hitachi Energy is now looking for innovative ways to make inspections of electrical substations more interactive with customers and therefore more efficient, be it faster, more precise, less frequent – or another solution you might have!
