Power Plant

• Energy Infrastructure is quite diverse • Electricity Infrastructure: Distributed generation, Transmission/Distribution network,

electricity cables, electrical isolators,… • Natural gas/ Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): tanks, pumps, pipelines,…

• Predictive Maintenance is of utmost importance not only due to the high accompanying cost, but also in achieving extended protection including highest power network reliability

Energy Critical Infrastructures


Predictive Maintenance as a Service for Energy networks Wind Turbines Farms Photovoltaic Parks

Transmission Network


PMaaS using swarms of drones

• Pros: may significantly help in • more efficient operation and reduced maintenance costs • accidents avoidance and fast restoration of energy networks

• Barriers: require complex, bandwidth demanding, computationally heavy and time critical operations:

• operational requirements, define the flight plan for each drone in a swarm (optimal coverage with minimal resources, taking into account the flight capability and remaining energy of each drone),

• communication requirements, either by cellular or satellite links control the drones flight and upload captured video and

• mission requirements, object (i.e. lines, pipes, tanks, blades, towers) analysis and inspection


5G Vision

• Ensure user experience continuity in challenging situations: high mobility (e.g. in trains) very dense or sparsely populated areas journeys covered by heterogeneous technologies.

• Key enabler for the Massive Internet of Things Connect a massive number of sensors, rendering devices and actuators

with stringent energy and transmission constraints.

• Inherently support Mission Critical Services Very high reliability, Global coverage , Very low latency Integrate specific networks, typically public safety, will become natively

supported by the 5G infrastructure.


5G Key Enabling Technologies

• Wireless Technologies • Flexible resource allocation; Flexible air interfaces; new waveforms; advanced beam-

forming , beam-tracking and MIMO. • Integrated heterogeneous air interfaces, i.e. 2G-4G for macro cells, WiFi and previous

releases of 3GPP technologies on small cells. • New operational models (i.e. crowd networking for ultra-dense networks)

• Network Virtualization & Software Defined Networking • Server scale out and cloud technologies • Logical centralization of control functions • Network functions virtualization (NFV)

Security

Resilience High Availability

• There is variety of software frameworks and reference architectures already available for 5G • Yet, there is still a clear gap to bridge for 5G seamless deployment within a number of “vertical” sectors • The energy “vertical” represents one of the most demanding “use/test case” for 5G technologies
