In collaboration with enervance, we are developing an innovative geo-analytics tool that supports key planning processes at Amprion and significantly simplifies them through digitalization. Our focus is on providing a transparent representation of planning by integrating various source systems. The generated information enables planning-relevant analyses, allowing us to draw valuable insights and provide strategic guidance.
Strategic asset management for power grids
Analyse equipment, identify needs for action, plan measures and new assets and prioritise investments transparently – based on linked grid, asset and project data.
When asset, grid and project data are viewed separately, the basis for forward-looking decisions is missing
Strategic asset management takes more than an inventory list. Condition, age, grid context, existing projects and future measures have to be considered together.
- Relevant information sits in different source systems.Link grid, asset and project data and analyse it together in one application.
- Needs for action in large asset portfolios are hard to identify systematically.Assess assets and grid areas using individual key figures and target critical equipment precisely.
- New equipment and measures are often planned detached from the existing asset base.Develop renewal, extension and grid expansion measures directly in the context of the existing grid.
- Investments and projects have to be prioritised across many individual measures.Bundle measures and affected equipment into projects and present the basis for decisions transparently.
From Asset Portfolio to Transparent Grid Development
Integrate data
Bring together grid, asset and project data from existing source systems and link it.
What e.asset changes in asset management
End-to-end asset transparency
Consider equipment, grid context, measures and projects together.
Identify needs for action early
Systematically identify critical equipment using individual key figures.
Plan equipment directly
Map renewal, extension and expansion right in the existing grid context.
Prioritise investments traceably
Consolidate individual measures into projects and a transparent investment portfolio.
Make asset data easier to access
AI support is integrated directly into e.asset. It helps users navigate complex grid and asset data, answers individual data questions, and increasingly supports recurring workflows.
Intelligent navigation
Quickly find the right view, relevant asset, or information you need.
Natural-language data access
Ask individual questions about grid, asset, and project data and retrieve relevant information directly.
Assisted workflows
Recurring analysis and work steps are increasingly supported and partially automated by AI.
AI supports navigation and analysis while professional decisions remain with the user.
Strategic asset management in practice
Asset management works together with grid planning and data quality
Frequently asked questions about e.asset
e.asset supports strategic asset management from data integration through the analysis of equipment and needs for action to the planning of measures, equipment and projects. Asset decisions and long-term investment needs can therefore be assessed on a shared data basis.
e.asset can bring together grid, asset and project data from different source systems – for example technical equipment data, condition and age information, grid topologies as well as existing and planned projects. In addition, further data sources can be connected flexibly – including ad hoc, for individual analyses or specific questions. Which sources are connected depends on the respective use case.
Equipment can be assessed using freely definable or customer-specific key figures and filters. Besides individual assets, spatial and grid-topological relationships can be considered as well, so conspicuous equipment and areas become visible quickly.
Yes. e.asset supports more than the analysis of existing assets: renewals, extensions and additional equipment can be planned in the grid context – for example measures in the substation and line area.
Affected equipment can be assigned to measures, and measures can then be bundled into projects. This creates a continuous link from the identified need for action via the planned measure through to the project portfolio.
Yes. Planned projects and measures can be viewed across defined points in time, making it traceable how the asset base and grid structure develop through planned changes.
e.asset is geared towards strategic analysis, equipment and measure planning as well as project formation. Detailed technical execution, construction or permitting planning can still take place in the specialist systems intended for it.
e.asset starts primarily from equipment, its condition and existing or future projects. e.planning starts more from the future supply task, scenarios and electrical grid requirements. Both perspectives complement each other in long-term grid development.
