Utilities have operated in a static business environment for years. Today, they face a number of regulatory and revenue challenges that result in a singular need: to do more with less. Utilities are struggling with the integration of customer-owned generating resources and regulatory challenges in terms of reliability and justifying rate cases?even as they work to digitize their power networks. As such, they need more information and control over their enterprises than ever before. Improving asset management is a key way in which utilities can address these challenges. Asset performance management (APM) is an emerging field of technologies and strategies that aims to improve and optimize asset management by centralizing asset information in a way that it can be usefully analyzed. APM builds a bridge between software such as enterprise asset management systems, workforce management systems, and other relevant sources of data that pertain to assets. Upon consolidating this information, analytics can translate data into meaningful insights that cut costs and improve the safety and reliability of the power grid. Whether it be improving the operating efficiency of the workforce through more intentional management and planning or implementing predictive analytics around asset failure and grid malfunctions, APM technologies offer a more streamlined approach for utilities to pursue continuous improvements.
