IBM launched an initiative to develop future power systems
Smarter Energy Reseacrh Institute is a new initiative of IBM, uniting corporate research organizations and energy and utilities enterprises. The main goal is the improvement of intelligent energy systems.
The program was launched by IBM together with the companies Hydro-Quebec (Canada), Alliander (Netherlands) and DTE Energy (USA), acting as the first members of the alliance. These companies, managing large power grids, are committed to investing in future technologies and working collaboration, combining industry research capabilities with expert knowledge and experience in the field of energy and utilities.
Participants in the new program together with IBM scientists will take part in work on one or two independently chosen directions to solve some of the most complex industry problems (with the development of technology, the complexity in networks increases, technologies are needed for jointly managed networks and the integration of renewable energy sources into the existing grid and etc.).
')
Smarter Energy Research Institute concentrates on five main areas:
As part of their participation, each member of the alliance receives the right to use all the innovations (in particular, algorithms, software, patents) created by the participants of the Smarter Energy Research Institute program.
Among the expected results of the research initiative are improved planning and increased reliability of operations using predictive analytics and optimization of asset management and outage processes. In particular, this will allow in advance to assess the impact of natural disasters and weather anomalies on the power grid and to prepare in advance emergency crews and the necessary resources for recovery work.
The new institute is an extension of IBM's long-term alliance with energy and utility companies. In 2003, IBM co-founded the national GridWise Alliance in the United States, which advocates for the modernization of power grids, and in 2007, IBM formed the Global Coalition Global Intelligent Utility Network Coalition (GIUNC), which brings together players in the energy and utilities market that helps accelerate the implementation and The use of Smart Grid technology and promotes the integration of digital intelligent functions in existing power systems.

Smarter Energy Research Institute concentrates on five main areas:
- Reduced power off time
- Optimization of asset management (improvement and allocation of capital and operating costs for modernization and maintenance)
- Renewable Energy Integration
- Detection of deviations from the norm in the operation of the power supply network in real time
- Use a unified network to transform customer relationships
