Powering resilient, sustainable operations with cloud-based data

Building a greener future with intelligent analytics

Enel is the world’s largest private renewable energy operator and power distribution company. With operations in 31 countries and on five continents, it brings energy and services to more than 55.4 million households and businesses. Because of its large fleets of diversified power generation assets—all of which produce a tremendous amount of data—Enel is constantly looking for new solutions to extract more value from its data. So, Enel harnessed its AVEVA portfolio, from edge data capture solutions to predictive analytics, to optimize the reliability and performance of its assets, cut greenhouse emissions and operate more sustainably.

As an AVEVA customer for many years, Enel’s needs have evolved along with its suite of solutions. By harnessing predictive analytics, industrial AI and scalable cloud-based solutions, Enel is making better, more sustainable operational and business decisions.

Cut greenhouse gas emissions by reducing emissions-intensive backup power

Maximize the availability and efficiency of all assets, catch potential failures before they happen and reduce maintenance costs

Extract value from all data across the enterprise, including smaller and more remote assets, without overloading the existing data infrastructure

461

failures prevented and €47M estimated losses avoided through the remote predictive diagnostic center

410,000

estimated tCO2e reduced over 24 months from thermal fleet catches—equivalent to 95,635 gas-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year

4,800

estimated tCO2e per year reduced from geothermal fleet catches—equivalent to 1,000 homes’ electricity use for one year

Enel adopted AVEVA APM to drive its autonomous plant vision. This enabled Enel’s teams to pivot overnight to work from home when the pandemic struck Italy, ensuring the resiliency and continued, sustainable delivery of these critical services for the wider community.

As its operation expanded, Enel faced new challenges. New plants meant new data and new demands on Enel’s existing data infrastructure. Enel used AVEVA’s cloud-based solutions to avoid overloading its data network. It expanded its data analysis capabilities and gained new insights, allowing for fast, impactful decision-making enterprise-wide.
