The STEAG Digital Energy Week, held from November 8-11, 2021, served as a crucial platform for industry leaders and experts from STEAG and global partners to explore advanced digital solutions across the energy sector. This landmark event highlighted significant innovations in wind power and other renewable energy sources, addressing the urgent need for decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization in transforming the global energy industry. It underscored the commitment to environmental sustainability and economic efficiency, featuring in-depth discussions on optimizing operations and increasing value for diverse power generation facilities.
The STEAG Digital Energy Week spanned four consecutive days, from November 8 to 11, 2021, featuring 16 insightful presentations from esteemed experts, senior leaders of STEAG, and global partners. These discussions focused on critical areas of the energy industry, including solar power, wind power, waste-to-energy (WTE), and thermal power generation. The event provided valuable perspectives on the latest advancements and strategic approaches.
The rapid evolution of the energy industry has brought about significant changes, driven by key factors such as decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization. These elements are profoundly influencing the global energy industry’s transformation towards environmental sustainability and economic benefits, presenting both considerable opportunities and challenges. Effective asset management, optimizing operation activity, and robust operation and maintenance strategies are crucial for increasing annual energy production (AEP) and enhancing the overall value of wind power plants within this dynamic landscape.
Leveraging over 80 years of extensive experience across various facets of the energy industry, particularly its outstanding proficiency in digital solutions, STEAG organized the STEAG Digital Energy Week. This prestigious event brought together leading experts who shared optimal digital solutions and effective implementation strategies for diverse energy segments, including solar power, wind power, waste-to-energy (WTE), and thermal power. Discussions specifically addressed how these technologies facilitate decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization within the sector.
The STEAG Digital Energy Week program, with its 16 presented aspects, was structured over four days, with each day featuring four distinct parts. This format allowed attendees the flexibility to participate in all sections or select sessions based on their specific interests in the STEAG Digital Energy Week agenda. Further details on the detailed topics and registration information were previously available on the official event page.
A notable highlight of the STEAG Digital Energy Week was the presentation by Mr. Joël Wagner, Head of Sales at STEAG Energy Services GmbH, titled “Beyond best-before-date – Let’s maintain wind turbines perfect shape.” Mr. Wagner’s session focused on innovative digital solutions for operating and effectively managing assets for windfarms. These solutions are designed to maintain optimal wind turbine condition, extend their operational lifetime, and ultimately optimize profits for investors. Such advanced digital solutions for wind turbine maintenance, powered by Machine Learning and AI, form a crucial foundation for smart asset management, significantly enhancing the value proposition for wind farms.
This cutting-edge digital approach underpins the comprehensive Value Driven Asset Management service packages, which include Asset Monitor, Asset Guide, and Asset Pilot. These services are actively provided for windfarms in Vietnam through the Vu Phong – STEAG asset management cooperation, aimed at optimizing the production potential of facilities and maximizing asset value and profit for investors.
