Thank you so much for introducing yourself, Eina! You are first! �� I hope to see many others chime in, now that we have broken the ice.  

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

 

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

My name is Eina Ooka. I work for The Energy Authority (TEA). I’ve been with the company for 8.5 years now, and that’s also how long I’ve been working in utility analytics. There are 2 office locations for TEA, Jacksonville FL and Bellevue WA, and I’m located at the latter.

Until recently my main focus was researching, developing and maintaining stochastic forecast models for wholesale markets and portfolio risk. Now I’m transitioning to working with AMI data. I focus on developing models using both ML and statistical methods. My main tool is R.

R has been not only a tool but a sense of community for me as well. And I’d like to see a community of utility analytics grow, just as open and exciting as R community has been for me. You can find some of my past community contributions (in a form of conference talks) here:

https://github.com/einaooka (Since most of my developments are in private repos you won’t see much else there).

Cheers,

-Eina

Greetings UAI members,

We are trying to find short term Data Science contractor support to conduct troubleshooting on one of our R Shiny applications while our team is short-staffed. Does anyone have recommendations for a company that provides this type of resource? Currently having a hard time finding Data Science resources through our traditional staffing mechanisms.

Thanks!
Kate

Hello again, @Liang, 

I was just advised by my team that we will not be able to do an online interface for this meeting. However, we will share notes from the meeting with UAI members after the event. I’ll make sure to make you aware once the notes are available via this thread. I hope this helps. Thank you. 

Happy Holidays to you!

Leslie​

Join the Discussion! You are invited to the next UAI and NREL workshop to share your experience and insights and learn from other utilities on the topic of Artificial Intelligence.

 

UAI has teamed with the Department of Energy (DOE) on a new Voices of Experience initiative to help utilities understand how artificial intelligence may help improve their operations, where the challenges are and what other utilities are learning through their own experience.

 

The Voices of Experience (VOE) Initiative is unique in that it compiles the valuable insights and advice provided directly by utility personnel at the forefront who are working the challenges, interconnecting the new resources, and testing the emerging technology. Utilities participated in working group discussions, regional meetings and individual interviews with the purpose of sharing industry knowledge so that all utilities can better prepare for the operational challenges they face in this changing industry.

 

·       What: an Artificial Intelligence workshop to share your experience and insights, and to learn      from other utilities

·       When: Thursday, January 30, 2020 from 8:30 am – 4:00 pm

·       Host: CPS Energy

·       Where: 145 Navarro Street, San Antonio, TX 78205

·       Learn More: https://utilityanalytics.com/voices-of-experience/

·       Register Today! https://eb.informabi.com/Voices-of-Experience-Artificial-Intelligence-Working-Group-01302020?code=UAIsite

·       Attendance is restricted to utility employees only!

Hello @Liang, 

Thank you for your question. Please know we are looking into whether this event will offer an online interface. Once we find out, we will post the answer here for you and others to see. We will probably have an answer after the first of the year as those running the event are already out for the holiday. Thank you so much for your patience as we wait for an answer. More to come…

Happy Holidays!
Leslie​
