Subject: Upcoming February 17th Grid Analytics Community Conversation

Hello Grid Analytics Community Members,

I hope all is well! We have a very exciting Community Conversation planned for this month and hope you all can join us. On Wednesday, February 17th at 1:00 PM CST, we’ll be joined by Community Sponsor Brad Steere, Director Operations Analytics at Consumers Energy, and his presentation, “Leveraging predictive analytics on unplanned outages at Consumers Energy.” During the meeting Brad will be discussing a Consumers Energy project that is developing a wire down predictive model that provides two beneficial outcomes:

1. Improve our activation and response to outages (Reduce CAIDI)
2. Optimize our infrastructure investment to minimize emergent outages (repair/replace before failure)

Learn more about Brad below!
