Abstract:
Data analytics is an important part in solving the challenges faced by transforming utilities. The introduction of smart meters and smart grids is leading to the convergence of information and communications technologies and utilities. Data analytics can be a powerful tool to create major improvements in efficiency and customer experience or it can even bolster service innovations. The deployment of data analytics is a necessary move as infrastructures, particularly electric grids, are expected to transform from more or less linear energy systems into networked, distributed systems with a multitude of market participants and management models in play. The grids simply become too complex to handle without large-scale data analytics.
