R&D Nester and REN in “Big Data for New Generation Energy” H2020 Project (BD4NRG) developments
R&D Nester and
REN integrate the project
BD4NRG - "Big Data for New Generation Energy", which started in January 1st
2021 under the EU funded H2020 program.
The main goal of BD4NRG is to address big data management and decision-making challenges in the energy sector using state-of-the art data science and Artificial Intelligence techniques. This project will therefore unlock new solutions for this sector which have never been explored in the past, giving energy stakeholders the opportunity to improve their operations and economic returns. From a technical standpoint, the BD4NRG ecosystem will make available a set of distributed data services, including big data processing and analytics tools as well as Machine Learning and other AI based models.
The technical solutions developed in the project will be validated through 12 large scale pilots across 10 countries.
R&D Nester, along with REN, is contributing with one of such pilots, focusing on the application of AI solutions to condition based monitoring and predictive maintenance for two classes of transmission system assets: overhead lines and circuit breakers. Currently, R&D NESTER and REN are working in the development of the required algorithms to execute these data related pilots.
On September 2021, the first issue of BD4NRG newsletter was released, where more information on the scope of the project, the current status of developments and upcoming activities can be consulted.
