Their core team, consisting of 10 individuals, including six engineers, plays a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth operation of their diverse customer base, which includes utilities, industrial scale pharma and major data center clients. “Our service group plays a pivotal role in supporting our project business,” Burke explains. “Our responsibilities encompass installation, commissioning, and, crucially, addressing warranty issues and breakdowns that may occur during installations.” Meeting the Challenges of the Energy Transition Burke recognizes that the energy sector is evolving rapidly to decarbonize. With this comes new renewable energy sources and a need to update aging infrastructure. Ancillary equipment needs to be redesigned to accommodate uctuations in renewable energy sources – wind and solar- caused by their intermittent nature. “The energy transition is reshaping the entire energy landscape,” Burke says. “A significant challenge lies in the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Unlike traditional power stations operating on a constant load, renewables exhibit variability.” Hitachi Energy’s Service business is uniquely positioned to support this transition. Starting with existing infrastructure and addressing future needs, we offer exceptional service solutions that cover the entire lifecycle of assets.
