Aduriz Distribución, a leading electric power distribution company, identified a clear need to modernize its infrastructure. Partnering with Barbara, the company deployed Edge Computing in two low-voltage substations using Barbara’s Industrial Edge Platform. This initiative marks a major step toward substation virtualization, enabling Aduriz to enhance system performance and deploy real-time intelligence models that drive smarter, more efficient grid management.

Despite the vast amount of data collected by the industry in recent years, less than 25% is ever processed. This is often due to enterprises lacking the necessary infrastructure to effectively utilize their data. In this article, we will explore the digital journey of a Power Grid operator, from its initial stages till deploying machine learning at the edge.

Barbara and Gridfy have joined forces to bring AI Flexibility algorithms to the Edge.‍‍ Gridfy has developed and implemented the AI flexibility algorithm located in one of Cuerva´s substations while Barbara has provided the Edge Infrastructure that deploys and orchestrates Artificial Intelligence at the Edge.

One more year, Barbara has been chosen as one of the top 100 Edge Computing Companies to watch in 2024 based on its accomplishments in 2023 and the exciting developments coming this year.

Barbara Marketplace keeps growing with the addition of Cuerva's AI Forecasting Model. Developed by experts in the Smart Grid at Cuerva, the Spanish DSO, this application leverages the transformative power of edge technology and cutting-edge AI techniques to revolutionize energy grid planning and operations.

According to Gartner, “The technology or service offering must be innovative, impactful and available for purchase for a Cool Vendor.” With Barbara, companies can deploy, run, and manage their models across distributed locations, as easily as in the cloud.
