    Hitachi Europe Digital Solutions Group (DSG) is an innovative business and technology venture operating as the UK extension of Hitachi Ltd‘s ‘Internet of Things’ and Information and Communications Solutions Divisions. As a global entrepreneurial team, we deliver social innovation projects in the UK with a focus on Cities, Connected Communities, Resource Management and Mobility powered by the latest technologies in IoT and AI.

    The DSG is currently seeking a Business Modelling Analyst for our current ‘Optimise Prime’ programme in London.

    About Optimise Prime

    Ofgem, the UK’s Gas and Electricity Markets regulator, has agreed to award funding to the Optimise Prime programme under its Network Innovation Competition (NIC). Hitachi, together with UK Power Networks, Royal Mail, Centrica, Uber and Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks, has formed the Optimise Prime consortium to study the impact of commercial EVs on the UK grid.

    Optimise Prime is a 4 years’ (2019-22) programme which will collect data from 3 trial fleets (Royal Mail, Centrica and Uber) and develop charging solutions for depot and home based commercial electric vehicles. The principle goal of Optimise Prime is to develop the world’s largest dataset on commercial electric vehicle charging, improve the ability of Distribution Network Operators to accurately forecast changing demand and provide cost effective electrification options for fleets.

    Hitachi leads the project and is delivering a number of technology solutions, including the depot energy management tools and the project’s central IoT platform which will perform network demand forecasting and analysis necessary to reduce the cost of fleet electrification.
