Utility & Grid Analytics Symposium

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED

Analytics, Utilities and the Future Grid
– Challenges and Opportunities –

The utility and grid analytics market is poised to explode over the next five years, with estimates that utilities will spend well over $1 billion per year in smart grid and other analytics capabilities by 2020. Analytics are seen as driving savings across the entire enterprise – from asset planning and management; to load balancing and management; transmission planning, management, maintenance and reconfiguration; resource distribution and renewables integration; demand anticipation and response; power grid management and modification; risk management; competitive pricing; and consumer energy reduction and savings. The ultimate goal is to achieve all this in as near real-time as possible, on the way to becoming an “intelligent utility.”

This outstanding symposium brings together the utility and industry experts who are shaping the future of the analytics-based organization. They will provide an in-depth examination of utility analytics needs and capabilities and a broad, reasoned perspective on what industry can provide, now and in the future.

What are the emerging lessons learned in utility analytics?

What are the potential pitfalls? How do you determine ROI and case success?

What are the infrastructure and technology requirements? How do you deal with system, sensor, smart meter, etc. information overload?

What role can “big data” play? How do you select appropriate big data applications? Develop use cases?

How can analytics facilitate IT/OT strategic and operational integration? How will analytics shape national smart grid R&D, rollout and evolution?

These and many other critical questions will be addressed during this important two-day event!
