Integrates with Hitachi’s Lumada platform provide analytics and operational data in an intuitive way
IdentiQ™ digital twin solutions
Hitachi Energy has launched IdentiQ™, its digital twin solutions for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and power quality solutions.
IdentiQ2 will help to advance the world’s energy system to be more sustainable, flexible and secure, accelerating the transition towards a carbon-neutral future.
IdentiQ is the digital twin of a HVDC converter station, STATCOM or other power quality solution. It provides all the relevant asset information, analytics and operational data in an intuitive and easyto-navigate dashboard, which users can customize to match their needs.
IdentiQ includes 3D interactive visualization of the complete asset, combined with one-click access to all the associated plant and equipment information, including engineering documentation, operational and maintenance procedures, safety training and live operational data for monitoring and analytics.
“IdentiQ is a game-changing digital twin solution built on our unique domain expertise and leadership in power grid technologies and innovation,” said Dr. Mostafa AlGuezeri, Manag-ing Director of Hitachi Energy for the UAE, Gulf, Near East and Pakistan.
“It is a significant addition to Hitachi Energy’s digital offering and supports our customers’ efforts to continuously enhance the efficiency and reliability of their grid investments.”
IdentiQ will enable Hitachi Energy customers to improve the management of power grid assets by cluster-ing all information into one digital location for seamless access by all operational functions.
This approach stands at the core of Hitachi Energy’s vision for digital twin technology: delivering the right resources and information to the right people at the right time for optimized operations and smarter decision making.
IdentiQ makes HVDC and power quality assets more sustainable and eco-efficient by enabling comprehensive remote analysis and support and by digitalizing paper-based information on older installations.
IdentiQ is also flexible by adapting to continuously changing asset performance needs over the entire life cycle.
IdentiQ also has secure by complying with industry-leading cybersecurity standards and protecting all asset data and information from being misplaced or destroyed; and safer, by providing virtual training on on-site procedures, required clothing and evacuation routes before visiting a site.
Digitalisation is essential to making electricity the backbone of the entire energy system and advancing a sustainable energy future for all.
It is key to the integration of bulk and distributed renewables, as well as the electrification and decarbonisation of sectors like transportation, industries and data centres; and empowering countries and companies to meet their carbon emission reduction goals.
IdentiQ integrates with a range of enterprise business systems, including Hitachi’s Lumada platform and the Lumada suite of Asset and Work Management software, and together they provide system-wide visibility – from the site to the boardroom. IdentiQ is part of Hitachi Energy’s ambition to drive the pace of digital and eco-efficient innovation in power grid technologies and accelerate the transition towards carbon-neutral energy systems.
The launch builds on a year of powerful innovation from Hitachi Energy, including Lumada Asset and Work Management – launched in January 2021.
MGE has been founded to develop and industrialize innovative technologies in the field of renewable energy generation and storage.
The company attended the Wetex Expo in Dubai, presenting MGTES (Magaldi Green Thermal Energy Storage), an innovative
Long duration Energy Storage system, one of the most advanced on the global market.
he storage technology is based on a fluidized bed of silica sand that can be heated up by renewable energy and / or solar radiation.
Magaldi has patented an innovative thermal energy storage system based on a fluidized sand bed (Energy from the sand), with high thermal diffusivity and operating temperature up to 1000 C°, which is able to offer flexibility services to the electricity grid and produce Green Heat for the industrial sector.
The system can be charged with excess electrical and thermal energy, stores it for days and weeks with very limited losses and discharges it for durations of 4 to 10 hours (Long Duration Energy Storage), when the sun and wind are not available. MGTES has reached a high technological maturity (TRL7) with over 10,000 hours of thermal energy production. The first industrial module is at an advanced stage of construction.
Magaldi Green Energy
(MGE) is an innovative startup focused on the research, development and marketing of renewable energy generation and storage technologies. Magaldi Power, is a world leader in hot bulk material handling.
