Automation of power industry in Russia
The analytical center TAdviser collected information on revenues of system integrators in the field of informatization of the energy companies and made the high-level overview of the industry.
As well as most capital-intensive branches of the economy, the power engineering specialist is historically less subject to informatization. Nevertheless, digitalization of a power complex is very important for the industry and domestic economy in general. Therefore in recent years in the field of power the serious shift of focus of attention towards information technologies was outlined (in more detail...).

The IT market in power is more and more heterogeneous every year. In general it is possible to tell that in the industry the software and technologies increasing performance and providing uninterrupted operation of work of a power complex are demanded. However it can be as traditional instruments of automation of work of the large companies, such, both electronic document management systems (ECM) or the business analysis (BI), and the innovation products: predictive analytics based on algorithms of machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT) or artificial intelligence (AI) for optimization production and business processes. (In more detail...)
1. Gain of a role of information security
A number of technology innovations, such as industrial Internet of Things, information and technology real-time systems and solutions in the field of optimization of production and electric power distribution, global changes of the power industry around the world caused, having opened for her qualitatively new opportunities of growth. In this regard to the forefront there is a problem of development of uniform standards of use of IT in the geographically distributed companies. The majority of the IT products implemented in the energy companies belongs to the category business and critical, and it means that increased requirements in the field of data protection are imposed to them.
The Big Data accumulated by the energy companies need to be stored and processed somewhere. In this regard there are needs for new resources and continuous upgrade.
Increase in number of digital instruments for production management and business leads heads of the power enterprises to a question whether it is possible to build IT infrastructure so that as much as possible to implement the potential of each specific IT solution and at the same time to gain high synergy effect of interaction of IT systems. At this stage they think of giving installation processes, settings, supports and upgrades of an IT ecosystem on outsourcing.
4. Implementation of modern strategy of TORO
Implementation of modern strategy of TORO (maintenance and repair of the equipment) based on calculation of indexes of technical condition of the equipment and complex infrastructure facilities becomes one of the main trends for the Russian energy companies. Except assessment of a condition of equipment, use of techniques of assessment of probability and failure effects of the equipment becomes the standard in this area also.
5. Informatization of mobile crews
Wide circulation of mobile devices in the classical management systems used in the energy companies becomes one more important trend. First of all it is necessary for operational assessment of technical condition of any element of power supply system.
6. Automation of unique business processes
All energy companies (at least, large players of the market) anyway already took care of automation of the supporting processes, having implemented the corresponding systems (EDMS BPM BI etc.) which they continue to develop, upgrade, change old for more modern, to expand functionality, etc. There are also modified solutions – "natives" of standard automation systems of core business processes – which are adapted for the industry.
7. Platforms of approbations of new technologies
Trunk trends form the state program "Digital economy": Big Data artificial intelligence Internet of Things (IoT) added and virtual reality. These are technologies of the future which only begin to take the first steps in terms of real applicability at the enterprises of the industry. But already now for their implementation the companies create special platforms.
