Wisdom Wednesday – Help us by Sharing an Inspirational Quote

  • Wisdom Wednesday – Help us by Sharing an Inspirational Quote

    Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on May 10, 2023 at 11:00 am

    Good Morning UAI Members,

    Happy Wednesday! I was scrolling through Pinterest the other day when I discovered a great new idea for our #WisdomWednesday trend. The idea this week is to share an inspirational quote, either a quote you just saw or something you’ve had in your back pocket for awhile. Simply share your quote in the discussion thread below or (extra brownie points) if you have a graphic of your quote you would like to include. The goal in doing this is to create a thread we can refer back to when times get tough and we need an extra pick-me-up!

    I’ll get us started with a great quote I found the other day. I look forward to seeing what you all have as well!

    Hello Everyone,

    I hope all is well! Last week we started a fun #WisdomWednesday thread here which I’m hoping to continue. During challenging times we often look for inspiration and one of the best ways I find myself getting inspired is through quotes from some of my favroite authors or leaders. 

    This week, I ask you help our growing thread by sharing one of your favroite inspirational quotes. If you’re struggling with ideas, Pinterest has been my go to but I’m hoping to see some unique ones and add some new ones to my personal list.

    Thanks again!

    Hi everyone– Just wanted to let you know that we did have a Teams call w/ Evan back on May 5 (time sure does slip by quickly)… It was a rather informative call. He demonstrated to us a very powerful, insightful dashboard that he built utilizing AMI data and gave us a few things to think about here at EPE as we being the AMI journey. Have a great rest of your week!

    Hello Aaron,

    I’m a Senior Data Scientist at Pepco Holdings (PHI) a subsidiary of Exelon. I’m not aware of any dashboards designed specifically for AMI data here at PHI. However, I have designed, built, and deployed pipelines and dashboards in Power BI for our AMI deployment in ACE (Atlantic City Electric) which is currently taking place. Also, a Remote Connect/Disconnect dashboard to track and monitor the success rate of remote operations and a Work Managment System (WMS) to monitor and prioritize AMI billing data exceptions that failed the VEE process. I have also deployed a model/dashboard that provides a 360 degree view of our installed meter population at PHI (AMI and Non-AMI). I’m actually presenting on this use case for the UAI data science community on May 16th. These models were deployed on a workspace specific to Field & Meter Services however access was made available to groups across PHI to remove departmental silos and promote cross functional collaboration. I’d be happy to chat about any of your specific use cases and provide any feedback I can.

    Take Care,

    Evan Saltzberg

    Happy Friday!!!

    We are going to be developing several dashboards in the next month for our initial use-cases for AMI (deployment starting soon). We’ve had a lengthy discussion regarding how to set up workspaces for these use-cases as well as trying to accommodate use-cases going forward. Currently, we have landed on creating workspaces by business function (ie: AMI Ops, Billing/Collections, Energy Efficiency, etc…) and grouping them together as “AMI Non-PII”  as well as creating another grouping of workspaces for use-cases that may contain PII data.

    We are wondering if any of our peers are using PowerBI for AMI visualizations and how you may have structured your workspaces, or what lessons you may have learned from this process. Let us know!

    Thank you all in advance and have a great weekend!
