Industry Overview

Share

Utilities balance supply and demand every second, run assets that stay in the ground for forty years and earn returns a regulator has to approve. Across various engagements in multiple geographies, iFortis Worldwide has engineered intelligence into Grid Resilience Intelligence, Water Loss Intelligence, Load Forecast Optimization, Outage Restoration Intelligence, Asset Health Intelligence, Meter to Cash Automation, Regulatory Filing Copilot, Field Crew Optimization, Vegetation Risk Intelligence and Utility Digital Workforce, always above deterministic protection relays and certified grid control.

Key impacts

  • Grid Resilience Intelligence. Network faults were found through customer calls and sequential switching rather than from live network data.
  • Water Loss Intelligence. Leak detection followed fixed survey rounds that revisited quiet districts and missed active bursts.
  • Load Forecast Optimization. Day ahead positions were built from historical profiles that took little account of embedded generation.
  • Outage Restoration Intelligence. Restoration sequencing depended on control room experience and paper network diagrams.
