Catalysts to catapult digitalization in power sector-an outlook
Abstract
Workplace digitalization has ample advantages. It helps improve safety, efficiency, productivity, security, transparency, and sustainability to name a few. Further it minimizes human errors, brings a single point of truth out, promotes transparency and collaboration, boosts operational intelligence, and reduces costs. Despite such a plethora of benefits, digitalization could not grow as much as it is expected to be in the power sector due to an umpteen number of challenges. This paper presents a study on such challenges for digitalization in power sector and catalysts to overcome them and a framework achieve the clear-headed digitalization.
