Neara – Power lines design and analysis
The Neara Platform delivers a true digital twin -A Physics-enabled, engineering grade 3D interactive digital model of critical infrastructure.
Neara combines a utility’s existing information, then uses AI/ML to interpret geographic data and automatically execute complicated, engineering-grade design and analysis — both at the individual asset level and the network scale.
How do we do it?
What sets us apart is that we leverage a utility’s own data to provide a new lens for solving deep and complex problems more easily.
- We take GIS data – to identify structures, boundaries, points of interests.
- And Lidar data – to build an accurate 3D representation of reality.
- It then integrates technical properties such as CAD drawings, design specifications, and material information to inform you of the dimensions and physical properties of the network components in the digital twin.
Advantages
Following are some of the advantages as per NEARA users experience:
- Rapid network risk identification: For the entire network, ~10x faster risk identification (e.g. conductor clashing) is possible.
- More cost effective risk identification: Compared to manual inspection methods, ~5x reduced spend on risk identification.
- Enhanced Transparency into how Investments Impact Operations: Neara provides a precise and dynamic visual depiction of a utility’s network, inclusive of asset condition, location, and investment commitments, all within a single integrated platform.
- Improved Emergency Response and Network Remediation Speed: Neara allows a utility to rapidly assess which areas of their network and network assets are destroyed from floods, severe storms, or other natural disaster events and quickly develop a plan to rectify damaged assets - which enables faster restoration of power to communities.
- Increased design efficiency and collaboration~85% time saved when producing & redesigning network design on Neara.
- Automated LiDAR classification at-scale~30x LiDAR sorting at scale is faster and more accurate than traditional approaches, with up to 99 percent accuracy.
- Optimize OPEX spend on physical asset inspections~$5M Annual savings from using Neara's platform instead of physical inspections.
- More efficient pole analysis and inspections~2x faster pole analysis and inspections are possible compared to alternative software-based solutions.
What is NEARA?
Enables energy utilities to efficiently and easily create cloud-based 3D digital models of their entire network, auto-generated from existing company data, such as GIS, DXF, LiDAR, and more.
Underpinned by intelligent physics and engineering algorithms, 3D models are fully customizable, editable and able to evolve with the physical asset.
The platform is capable of performing complex calculations, such as finite element analysis. These calculations can be deployed to perform a broad spectrum of design and asset management use cases, accounting for environmental conditions such as terrain, wind, and temperature. This enables teams to analyze changes or modifications to the network prior to conducting work on the physical asset.
Neara Analytics
Network-wide scenario analysis for asset management, operations, and planning.
Neara Point Cloud
An end-to-end solution for point-cloud data, all on one intelligent platform.
