Cloud computing can help extend the life of existing infrastructure by facilitating predictive maintenance, while supporting the integration of new technologies, such as the smart grid, DERs, and EVs. Cloud facilitates the centralisation of data from increasingly decentralised assets thus enabling advanced analytics and machine learning, which subsequently enhance utilities’ abilities to address looming industry challenges.
