[Kevin Praet (Adm)]

Hello Data Science Community Members,

I hope all is well! We are one week away from our August (2022) Data Science Community Conversation and want to get you excited about the session taking place. On Tuesday, August 16 at 1:00 PM CT, we’ll be joined by @Brad, Sr. Data Architect and @Sarah, Sr. Data Scientist at The Energy Authority who will be leading a discussion around, “Using Machine Learning to Detect Broken AMI Meters.” 

Learn more about this session and our speakers below!

Session Description:

We all know AMI systems are great at collecting detailed metering information remotely. But without regularly scheduled field checks, how do you determine if your meter reads are still accurate over time? Learn how TEA’s Connected Analytics group is using machine learning to find broken water meters, reduce unnecessary field activity, and ultimately protect the utility’s revenue.

Speaker: Sarah Valovcin, Sr. Data Scientist (The Energy Authority)

Sarah Valovcin is a Senior Data Scientist at The Energy Authority (TEA) responsible for developing advanced analytics solutions as part of TEA’s Connected Analytics service.
