Abstract
Augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, highly driven by the video game industry, have recently reached a level of maturity enough to fulfil most of the utility sector needs. However, limitations exist but due to the fast pace of technological progress they are expected to be overcome soon. Also driven by the digitalization process, current being held in all organizations, possible application of these type of AR and VR are increasing every day. Overall, the market is growing fast and major utilities around the globe are currently developing and implementing AR pilots.Having in mind the fast-growing pace and upcoming importance of this technology on the utility sector, EDP Distribuição (EDPD), the main Portuguese DSO, recently launched its first AR initiative after conducting an analysis on the internal possible application opportunities.This paper aims to share EDPD’s entire journey throughout the experimentation, study and implementation of AR/VR technology applied to the energy sector. The paper starts by presenting the short AR pilot, then goes on detail by the internal analysis of identified opportunities and the correspondent CBA and finishes with the first results of the on-going pilot project.
