Smart Grid for a More Efficient and Resilient Railway Network
A railway infrastructure operator implemented a smart-grid pilot on a major high-speed rail corridor to improve the monitoring and management of traction-power infrastructure, including electrical substations. The solution integrates telecontrol systems, energy meters, network analysers and an enterprise IoT platform, centralising consumption, power-quality and operational information in real time. This digital foundation supports a more proactive approach to energy management, asset maintenance and infrastructure reliability.
