Augmented reality is gaining momentum not only in the entertainment sector but also in different industrial sectors. Throughout this talk we will analyze different use cases in which augmented reality has served to reduce production costs, train employees, guide operators in assembly or maintenance work, and also provide new and intelligent interactive interfaces for process monitoring. We will show specific use cases related to Smart Grid, outlining the challenges and limitations of each case, providing new approaches to overcome them in order to maximize the benefits for the Smart Grid industry.

2. ISGAN in a nutshell
International Smart Grid Action Network TCP (ISGAN)
‘Strategic platform to support high-level government attention and action for
the accelerated development and deployment of smarter, cleaner electricity
grids around the world’
 An initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM)
 Organized as the Implementing Agreement for a
Co-Operative Programme on Smart Grids (ISGAN)
The CEM is the only multilateral forum dedicated
exclusively to the advancement of clean energy
technologies and related policies. ISGAN is the only
global government-to-government forum on smart grids

36. The focus of this project on augmented reality is addressed to the development and
implementation of a tool allowing a more efficient display of the reality analysed and
inspected during the mapping phase. A way to enrich the sensorial experience, through the
combining of information characterized by a high degree of interactivities that, electrically
generated and routed, would not be perceived by the five senses.
