  October Grid Analytics Meeting Follow Up + What’s Next

  Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on October 26, 2020 at 6:26 am

  Hello Grid Analytics Community Members,

  Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for our “Solve My Problem” session! For those unable to attend, we discussed two key problems/challenges brought about during our “Getting to Know You Survey” and kickoff meeting which we’ve listed below:

  • 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?

  Please catch up with a full recording and copy of our presentation deck HERE.

  Next month we will be meeting Wednesday, November 18 at 2:30 – 4:00 pm CT for a special 90-minute session on “How to Apply Analytics to Improve the Outage Experience for Utility Customers.” This session will be part of Utility Analytics Week which again is 100% complimentary for members this year (Using code MEMBER20).

  Please find more info on this session below and let me know ASAP if you do not have a calendar placeholder.

  Session Description:
