Cognite Data Fusion® for Power Generation
The accelerating transition to renewable energy is creating new operational challenges for generators across asset management and market operations. Operators must use their data more effectively to build visibility across diverse portfolios, increase predictability in asset management workflows, and make smarter production and trading decisions in complex markets.
Cognite Data Fusion® enables generators to get ahead of the energy transition with a next-gen data foundation built to make experts more productive and enable analytics use cases to deploy and scale.
Power generation has an industrial data problem
Generators continue to invest in data and analytics as a means to improve reliability, optimize decisions, and mitigate the risks from an aging workforce, but many still struggle to capture ROI and significantly improve their workflows.
Siloed industrial data
Structured and unstructured data remain in disparate systems such as historians, ERP, CMMS, etc., making it difficult to find, access, and use
Lack of context
Data relationships remain largely unmapped, putting the burden on domain experts to understand and interpret what the data means
Inability to scale use cases
Analytics use cases are developed individually at high cost and with little repeatability because scaling today is largely a manual process
Unlock and scale brownfield Asset Performance Management (APM)
Aging assets and new cycling patterns are creating additional reliability challenges at brownfield sites, deferring the vision of the autonomous power plant.
Deliver industrial digital twins to equip monitoring and diagnostics (M&D) and operations teams with consolidated views of critical and balance of plant (BoP) equipment for condition monitoring and advanced analytics. Leverage work orders, event logs, and time series data to deliver prescriptive insights with less effort and an improved user experience.
Improve participation in power trading markets
Fast-changing power markets create unprecedented operational challenges for participation and optimization across power markets. The exploding complexity has outpaced the capacity for prudent, optimal decision-making.
Improve forecasting across markets and resources while facilitating an environment for benchmarking and continuous improvement by mastering the flow of real-time market data and information to stakeholders and analytics.
Improve visibility and reporting across diverse asset portfolios
Generation portfolios continue to expand through new development and acquisition, but integration and consistent performance reporting is often challenging due to unique data source systems, instrumentation, and processes that exist at greenfield and brownfield sites.
Improve operational visibility and reporting accuracy across your operations by integrating and normalizing structured and unstructured data with simple access to complex industrial data. Leverage automation, domain data models, and quality monitoring tools to make this data speak human with more context and granularity than before.
Unlock the future of data-driven power generation
Cognite Data Fusion offers a more scalable and sustainable approach to industrial data management that puts data directly into the hands of experts and data scientists. Compared to existing analytics vendors that you may already be contracting with, our software is built to solve the foundational data problem.
Simple access to complex industrial data
Cognite Data Fusion® connects diverse data sources (historians, IoT platforms, ETRMs, ERP, CMMS, PLM, engineering/design data, external sources, etc.) for secure, unified access. Utilize its no-code calculation engine for improved decision-making with time series, events, and engineering documents in one workspace. With this, you can calculate cross-site KPIs for production, maintenance, and ESG using normalized data, such as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), mean time between failure, emissions, energy load, and emissions per unit.
Open, extensible, and secure
Provide easy access to data through pre-established connections to popular solutions and applications, such as Grafana and PowerBI.
Create personalized views of solutions and dashboards organized by areas of focus, such as operations, maintenance, and quality, as well as by functional areas, such as production and engineering.
Offer the ability to iterate and improve KPIs over time through flexible data modeling and adopt a scalable approach to gaining insights.
Built for enterprise scale
- Highly optimized time series database designed for real-time insights and enterprise scale
- Speed to scale insights using open standards and documented APIs with out-of-the-box templatized extraction and contextualization
- A cloud-native environment, leveraging elastic scaling and high-performance computing (HPC) power
- Active user community for support and access to product experts
