This part three of the three-part series addresses how OEM partners can put edge computing technologies to work for energy customers

The global reinvention of the electric grid is well under way. In a worldwide effort to combat climate change, address government policies, offset rising costs, mitigate supply shortages, and meet public demand for renewable energy, the electricity industry is undergoing unprecedented disruption. The result is that power companies are shifting energy generation from centralized power plants that use oil, coal and gas to a more modern and dispersed model that leverages carbon-free resources, like wind, wave, geothermal, and solar. As a result, the electric grid is transforming from a linear, one-way power flow to a decentralized, bidirectional system that relies heavily on intelligent assets distributed at the edge. In turn, this is forcing the energy industry to rethink and redesign the entire grid infrastructure.

According to research from MarketsandMarkets, the modernization of the electric grid is a muti-billion dollar opportunity with 84 percent of energy utility companies either implementing or planning to implement edge-enabled distribution automation. Projections are that the market growth rates will remain high at 11 percent until 2025. This presents an enormous opportunity for Dell Technologies OEM Solutions partners that design and deliver solutions for the utility ecosystem, from electricity generation and transmission through to distribution and on to consumption.
