Digipede for the Energy Industry

Organizations throughout the energy industry have a broad variety of compute-intensive applications well suited for distributed
computing. Among the earliest and largest users of 3-D modeling and simulation tools, exploration and production companies
can gain significant improvements in application performance from the Digipede Network grid computing solution. Digipede
also supports electricity industry organizations including utilities, project developers, transmission companies, and regional
grid operators who rely on simulation models (e.g. PROMOD) for grid planning

Enhancing Energy Industry Performance with Digipede

From oil exploration operations to electric and gas utilities, the energy industry
can improve its business performance in multiple ways using the Digipede
Network grid computing solution.

Whether in oil exploration, electric utilities, or gas operations, the Digipede Network provides numerous benefits, improving business processes across the energy sector.

The Digipede Network allows complex computational problems to be solved quickly and affordably, without the need for extensive training or costly consultants. Models like PROMOD IV, hydroelectric system simulations, neural network training for load forecasting, and transmission optimization run exponentially faster when distributed across the Digipede Network. Specifically, PROMOD users have relied on Digipede to scale out complex grid simulations for more than 15 years. 

Accurate reservoir simulations are crucial for maximizing lifetime production. While distributed computing can enhance these models, many companies have been deterred by the complexity and expense of other solutions. The Digipede Network simplifies this process, unlocking substantial improvements in simulation accuracy and productivity.

By linking dozens or even hundreds of workstations and servers, Digipede accelerates critical model execution. Engineers can now explore multiple operational scenarios, benefiting from a significant increase in computing power, leading to more effective decision-making.

As the energy industry focuses more on risk management in trading, the Digipede Network can greatly accelerate Value-at-Risk analysis and other techniques requiring extensive simulations. With quick installation and use of existing hardware, simulations that once took hours now run in minutes, providing more comprehensive risk assessments.

Risk management is a growing focus in energy trading. The Digipede Network accelerates Value-at-Risk (VaR) analysis and other risk simulations. With quick installation and use of existing hardware, simulations that once took hours now run in minutes, providing more comprehensive risk assessments.

Restructured wholesale and retail energy markets have spawned an entire industry
segment in scheduling, billing, and settlements in which application performance
is directly related to bottom-line performance. These markets are plagued by the bottleneck of overnight software runs to calculate multi-billion-dollar payments. Digipede is intimately familiar with the structure of these complex systems, and
has designed an API that lets you easily spread the load across dozens or hundreds
of processors, thereby relieving computational bottlenecks.

In restructured energy markets, scheduling, billing, and settlement processes rely on high-performance applications. The Digipede Network eliminates bottlenecks by distributing workloads across multiple processors, optimizing system performance.

When billions of dollars are at stake, faster calculations help you reduce float significantly. The Digipede Network can generate a compelling return on investment quickly, even on a relatively small scale to start.

Faster calculations in the energy sector can significantly reduce financial float. Even on a small scale, the Digipede Network delivers a quick and impressive return on investment.

The Digipede Network is built entirely on Microsoft .NET and integrates deeply into
multiple points of Microsoft’s stack. Our API provides access to all the capabilities
of the Digipede Network through the tools you already know in Visual Studio.

The Digipede Network is fully integrated with Microsoft .NET, allowing easy access through familiar tools like Visual Studio. This deep integration simplifies the use of distributed computing across your organization.
