Hello Grid Analytics Community Members,

I hope all is well! This is just a quick reminder to join us next week, Wednesday, October 21st at 1:00 PM CT, for our October “Solve my Problem” exercise. This exercise was put together with direct input from our survey and kickoff call last month and we appreciate everyone who took time to get involved. Special thanks to Community Sponsor Amin Tayyebi (Data Science Manager at Exelon Utilities) and Community Leader Victoria White (Staff Engineer at Oncor) who will be facilitating this exercise. Please see below for a full session description and come prepared ready to discuss!

Session Description:

Join the Grid Analytics Community on Wednesday, October 21st at 1:00 PM CT for an interactive “Solve My Problem” exercise facilitated by Community Sponsors and Leaders and UAI staff. The session described below has been designed with input directly from members of the Grid Analytics Community which was captured from the “Getting to Know You” survey and exercise during the kick-off Community Conversation.

The “Solve My Problem” session will be delivered in a way that will encourage partnered collaboration between members to come up with solutions and/or action plans to help members solve real-time “problems” (“problems” can be interchangeable with the word “challenges”). During conversations about the “problems”, members will showcase their successes, share experiences and lessons learned, and gain valuable insights from the supportive and knowledgeable group of peers meeting during this Community Conversation. We encourage open, interactive dialogue throughout the exercise to create a vibrant and collaborative environment, and to ensure everyone in attendance receives an opportunity to voice their opinions and ideas.

During this interactive exercise, attendees will collaborate to come up with solutions and/or action plans that can be used to address the “problem”. Come prepared to discuss the following “problems” during the Grid Analytics Community “Solve My Problem” exercise!

• Problem #1 (Facilitated by Amin Tayyebi, Data Science Manager, Exelon): Scenario: We have a small team and we went through a process to identify and prioritize around 70-80 use cases. Problem: We have lots of great data for these grid analytics use cases, but where do we start and what do we do with the data next?
• Problem #2 (Facilitated by Victoria White, Staff Engineer, Oncor): How are you using predictive analytics for things like outage damage prediction, wildfire mitigation, and storm restoration? Also, what do your dashboards for these things include? And How are you applying analytics and boiling data down to get meaningful, actionable results?

I’ll be providing our Microsoft Teams link one day prior to the meeting. If you have any questions in the meantime please reach out and let us know.

Thanks!
