EDF Power Solutions North America manages 16 gigawatts of power across wind, solar, and battery energy storage systems, with equipment from dozens of OEMs that was never designed to interoperate. To bring all of that data into a common format, the company deployed an edge solution across more than 50 sites and adopted the IEC […]

There was a time when “real-time” in energy operations meant something measured in minutes. A SCADA poll every few seconds. A historian recording values at fixed intervals. An operator watching a dashboard and making a call when something looked off. For the grid as it existed ten or fifteen years ago, that was fast enough.However, […]

Close to 80% of power generation deployments in ABB’s global electrification and power install base run on-premise at the edge. That figure, shared by Cody Falcon of ABB Energy Industries during IIoT World Energy Day 2026, is not an aspiration. It is the current state of how power gets managed. The reasons are practical: battery […]

At an IIoT World Energy Day 2026 panel on scalable edge solutions for modern grids, Andrew Foster of IOTech Systems, Cody Falcon of ABB, Brenna Wood of EDF Power Solutions North America, and Janko Isidorovic of Fluence Energy discussed what distributed energy resource fleets require before edge AI can produce useful results. The panel, moderated […]

The energy sector has made real progress in deploying AI closer to operations. Battery storage operators are running predictive models at the site level. Renewable fleet managers are using AI to accelerate troubleshooting and optimize asset performance. Grid-connected systems are beginning to rely on edge-based inference to make decisions that must occur in under a […]
