Innovation Specialist at Terna
Padova, Italy
About
As transmission infrastructures age and operational complexity increases, TSOs must enhance the resilience, reliability, and lifecycle performance of existing assets.
Digital technologies and advanced analytics offer new opportunities to shift from reactive maintenance to predictive, risk-based, and proactive asset management.
Solutions should enable Terna to:
-
Anticipate failures and reduce unplanned outages
-
Optimize maintenance strategies and asset lifetime
-
Enable predictive and adaptive decision-making
We are particularly interested in solutions addressing:
-
Predictive maintenance and condition-based monitoring for transmission lines, substations, and critical components
-
Advanced analytics combining sensor data, historical failures, and environmental data
-
Asset criticality assessment and risk-based maintenance prioritization
-
Tools to optimize asset lifetime while maintaining safety and reliability
-
Platforms enabling real-time or near-real-time situational awareness of asset health
