    UA Summit 2021 , a virtual experience, is coming up May 3-5, 2021 and we will be hearing from the NFL on how they are using mathematical optimization to solve one of the hardest scheduling problems in existence.

    Mike North, VP, Broadcast Planning & Scheduling for the National Football League (NFL) will speak about how putting together the NFL broadcasting schedule is no longer a manual process, NFL planners can now generate and analyze more than 50,000 feasible schedules despite the addition of more and more constraints every year with the switch from a linear to a parallel approach to optimization.

    Hello UAI Members — I wanted to reply to this post on “Power Quality – Outage Prediction” from 5 days ago to see if you have feedback or thoughts on the topic. I noticed this thread was unanswered, so if you missed it the first time I hope circling it back to the top will help you see it and reply to your fellow member. 

    @Brian — I’m not sure if the following sessions are exactly what you are looking for, but we do have a few webinars, Community Conversations, and past event content on UAI Connect on the topic of Outage Prediction. I have provided links below to the content in order of newest to oldest content. If you find that you don’t have access to any of these items due to them being in a specific Community, let me know and I’ll make sure you gain access. You can also search “outage prediction” on UAI Connect to find a few other items. I hope this helps! 

    Thank you!

    Subject: Power Quality – Outage Prediction

    Hey all UAI members.   Our teams are working on new capabilities to predict power outages and loose neutrals with a focus on first level transformers utilizing AMI data.  We would hope to scale into outage predictions for the larger network but currently are trying to keep things simple.

    Have any of you had the opportunity to successfully implement such a program.  If so what are the results?    Would be very interested to speak to any of you in the community that may already have experience with this.   Hope you all are doing well after the cold weather if you had to deal with that in your respective territories and appreciate the feedback that this community always has for these kinds of questions.
