Abstract
The article considers the problems of IT development in the power industry. During the studies the analysis of the competitive advantages of information technologies was carried out and the following functional features of information systems were revealed: Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Manufacturing resource planning (MRP II), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Enterprise Resource & Relationship Processing (ERP II), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supply Chain Management (SCM). The authors also justify the incentives for the development of intelligent technologies in the electric power industry. The main purpose of the study was to substantiate that management capabilities based on IT create the conditions for innovative development of the industry. The digitalization of the energy sector, intelligent metering and distribution systems for the electric power present new requirements for the training of IT specialists. Analysis of the main current IT trends in the power sector helps to justify the need for the use of the Internet services during laboratory work in the educational process.
Highlights
The development of the electric power industry currently has a number of serious problems such as moral and physical aging of the entire equipment stock, high energy intensity of the supply grid, excessive increase in operating voltage in the network, cross-subsidization in various forms, payment crisis, lack of investment, inefficiency of the management system, etc
- automatic dispatch control systems. - information and analytical energy management systems aimed at the proper use of energy resources
- creation of systems aimed at working with customers of electric power enterprises (CRM-systems)
Summary
The development of the electric power industry currently has a number of serious problems such as moral and physical aging of the entire equipment stock, high energy intensity of the supply grid, excessive increase in operating voltage in the network, cross-subsidization in various forms, payment crisis, lack of investment, inefficiency of the management system, etc. The more complex the production is the more acutely it needs more automation of the processes occurring. The use of IT in the field of energy distribution and energy saving can reduce technical losses in the process of electric power transmission, efficiently use generated electricity, diagnose and fix problems with automatic operation, increase the stability of electricity supplies, provide an objective analysis of the efficiency of energy and money consumption [1]
