Iberdrola, through its US subsidiary Avangrid, has launched a Data Science and Analytics team to develop unique and proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that will focus on improving the reliability of its grid and maintaining the...

Iberdrola's Global Smart Grids Innovation Hub, located in Bilbao, is consolidating its position as a global centre of innovation and knowledge in smart grids to help respond to the challenges of the energy transition. The centre acts as a driving force for innovation, combining Iberdrola's technological capacity with that of more than 100 collaborating entities and companies.

Successive digital innovations in the 21st century have driven cloud computing technology, which allows remote access to different software via the Internet.

A smart meter provides detailed information on consumption in order to reduce electricity bills and also increase knowledge about the status of the electricity grid, which improves its performance and the quality of service for customers. As part of the evolution towards a smart grid, Iberdrola has installed and continues to install millions of these devices in all the countries in which it operates distribution networks.

Humans use our eyes to understand the world around us. Artificial vision is a scientific discipline that aims to enable computers to achieve the same capacity, i.e. it tries to ensure that machines can perceive and understand one or more images and act in a certain way. Below, we review some of its applications.

Predictive analytics uses statistical modelling techniques, big data and machine learning to extract historical data and make predictions. In the business world, it is a highly valued technique because of the benefits it can bring in of identifying risks and opportunities, for example. Its application ranges from e-commerce to energy, finance and insurance, among others.
