Frequently Asked Questions
Grid resilience consulting helps utilities assess vulnerabilities and strengthen their networks against disruptions such as extreme weather, cyber threats, equipment failures, and network growth (intermittent renewable resources). By identifying risks and recommending technical and operational improvements, consultants support utilities in improving reliability, reducing outage durations, enhancing emergency response, and ensuring continuity of service—ultimately lowering costs and increasing customer trust.
Hitachi Energy’s Power Consulting services provide resilience assessments, scenario modeling, and actionable strategies to enhance grid robustness and accelerate recovery.
Digital transformation is a core enabler of grid modernization. It introduces real-time monitoring, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and automation into grid operations. These capabilities allow utilities to predict failures, optimize asset performance, improve decision-making, and manage increasingly complex, decentralized energy systems more effectively.
Hitachi Energy’s Power Consulting services guide utilities in defining digital strategies and selecting solutions that maximize value from data, automation, and advanced grid intelligence.
Hitachi Energy supports renewable integration by providing advanced power electronics, grid automation, energy storage solutions, and digital grid technologies. These solutions help stabilize the grid, manage variability from renewable sources like wind and solar, and enable efficient transmission of clean energy from generation sites to end users, supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy system.
Through our Power Consulting services, we help utilities plan renewable integration by assessing grid impacts, connection requirements, and flexibility needs across the power system.
Key challenges include high investment costs, integration with legacy systems, regulatory constraints, cybersecurity risks, workforce skill gaps, and maintaining reliability during transition.
Hitachi Energy’s Power Consulting services address these challenges by providing phased modernization strategies, risk mitigation approaches, and business case development.
