AI Innovations for a Sustainable Tomorrow
"We are convinced that there must be an Italian way to the development of artificial intelligence," Giorgia Meloni stated on 12th of March 2024 during her speech at the 78th United Nations General Assembly.
This underscores a global movement towards sustainable resource management, where innovative AI solutions are becoming indispensable.
In this context, advanced AI is harnessed to monitor and control the consumption of vital resources like water and gas, aiming to minimise waste and prevent leakages. Such a proactive approach is essential not only for conservation efforts but also for ensuring the efficient use of resources in urban and industrial settings. By integrating these technologies, new benchmarks are being set in leveraging technology to foster a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
It is within this global movement that Terranova has carved its path since 2021, particularly after HPA became a key partner in our journey. Our approach, encapsulated by the 'Terranova Way,' sees technology as an enabler of innovation, spurring creative thinking and the rapid development of innovative solutions. This mindset promotes a culture of adaptability and forward-thinking, positioning us at the forefront of the utility sector through our unwavering commitment to research and development.
Our efforts have led to the creation of an AI solution now in its pilot phase in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This tool is designed to provide our clients with key insights and greater control over their networks.
Here is what our product offers:
- Tools for the optimal placement of data loggers and identification of critical areas enhance the design and optimization of networks, ensuring a comprehensive view of network health.
- Comparing the existing network setup with the AI-optimised version helps in making well-informed decisions about network improvements and investments.
- An AI-based mechanism for forecasting consumption aids in managing the network more effectively, ensuring the digital transformation of the network while maintaining uninterrupted supply and safety.
The foundation of our AI solution is data. The accuracy of the AI model improves with the relevance of the data fed into it. For optimising gas networks, crucial data includes information on pressures and flows.
The picture below describes how it works.
We are currently in an exciting phase of collecting and analysing data with our client, refining our model to enhance its precision. The process includes several important steps, such as
- analysing feedback from data checks,
- stabilising the dataset,
- installing the necessary hardware and software.
This leads to selecting the best locations for device installation and extensive data gathering. We have chosen one area in Tashkent that is perfect for the pilot. This careful process ensures that as we progress to the next phase, our model's accuracy and reliability are unparalleled.
In conclusion, Terranova's innovative approach, embodied by the 'Terranova Way,' allows us to blend creativity with agility in developing solutions. Our AI initiative in Tashkent is a prime example of this, showcasing our commitment to sustainable resource management. As we progress, our focus remains on this technology to create a future where efficiency and sustainability are at the forefront of utility management.
