Digital data integration project between a DSO and a university for sustainability and efficiency

Abstract

Digitization in the energy sector enables big data analysis that can lead to large-scale energy efficiency due to the size of the sector and thus getting closer to sustainability targets. With a digital data integration study between a distribution company and a university in Turkey for big data processing, the data collected by IoT devices from 6,000 active transformers providing service in 5 cities were transferred to different servers together with the developed communication protocols. As a result of the project, the transformer efficiency and sustainability measures were produced. In this study, the mutually established software infrastructure and the benefits of the project are explained.
