Hitachi Energy improves ERG's operational efficiency with digital solutions
Hitachi Energy has been awarded a contract to digitalize a hybrid switchgear Plug and Switch System (PASS) for ERG, one of Italy’s leading renewable power operators, in Partinico, Sicily. The project involves capturing the hybrid switchgear’s operational parameters on-site using Hitachi Energy's Modular Switchgear Monitoring (MSM) to boost asset availability and overall performance.
ERG is one of the independent operators of clean energy from renewable sources, operating in nine European countries and the United States. The digitalization of wind and solar plant management systems is one of the innovative pillars of ERG's strategies for a sustainable energy future. ERG aims to leverage advanced digital tools such as MSM to optimize predictive maintenance and build a highly efficient energy management system.
The MSM will gather, manage, and analyze all switchgear performance data which will then be evaluated by Hitachi Energy's Collaboration Center in Lodi, Italy, a strategic service hub that delivers 24/7 product expertise and real-time support, facilitating condition monitoring and a proactive maintenance strategy for ERG.
MSM enables data-driven decisions, allowing for more precise and effective actions toward achieving ERG’s sustainability goals. In June of this year, ERG recognized Hitachi Energy as the Most Sustainable Supplier (Large Enterprises) for the second time in a raw.
We are excited to continue our long-lasting relationship with ERG. Our digital solutions will empower ERG to predict asset health better, prevent equipment failure, minimize unplanned downtime and unforeseen costs, and most importantly, maximize safety.
Hitachi Energy's innovative digital and service solutions enable customers to plan, make better-informed decisions, and create more value in a rapidly evolving landscape, advancing a sustainable energy future for all.
