Hello @Ben and @Sandi,

Happy Friday! I hope you are well. I see that you both stated that you did not ​see the link that Blake Scherer shared earlier today for the IEEE Panel on the Texas Electric Power Crisis. I want to make sure you have your “Community Notifications” for Ask Your Network set-up to receive messages in REAL TIME. If you are set-up to receive REAL TIME messages for the discussion on Ask Your Network, you will receive messages posted in Ask Your Network in your inbox immediately upon them being posted. This is the fastest and most visible way to get messages and resources shared by your fellow members and from UAI directly into your email inbox to ensure you don’t miss something important and are able to review items in a timely manner. 

Please find directions below on how to change this feature if you don’t have your “Community Notifications” set to REAL TIME for Ask Your Network.

I also see that you asked if we could get the link to the recording of this panel. I did not register for it, so I do not have the link to the recording. Perhaps another member of UAI can help you or reach out directly to IEEE. 

If you have questions about the below directions or would like a demo on how to change any Community Notification, Email Preferences, or any else on UAI Connect, please reach out to me at lcook@utilityanalytics.com. Thanks so much! 

How-to change your “Community Notifications” to REAL TIME for Ask Your Network:

1. Go to your profile on UAI Connect at https://connect.utilityanalytics.com/directory/profile

2. ​Once on your profile, click on “MY ACCOUNT”, and then scroll down to “Community Notifications” and click it. Screen shot included below for reference.

3. Once on the “Community Notifications” page, scroll down to the section called “NOTIFICATION SETTINGS”. Screen shot included below for reference.

4. Continue scrolling until you find Ask Your Network in the list. Click on the menu to the right of Ask Your Network, and then scroll down to select REAL TIME. Screen shot included below for your reference.

You should be set after clicking on REAL TIME. However, sometimes this function is a little quirky, so I often click out of my profile to another page, like the “Events” page, and then go back to my profile and repeat the steps above to make sure the selection saved. This is a safeguard to ensure it accepted your changes. 

You are now set to receive messages posted in Ask Your Network in REAL TIME! 

Cheers!

If y’all are like me, you’ve been following this Texas situation very closely. I can’t stop consuming information about what is happening in the Texas power grid/market.

Although we don’t have all the facts and likely won’t until this tragic situation is over, I and other members wanted to start a discussion about it.

Texas: What analytics could have prevented it? What Analytics should be implemented going forward?

I’ve been keeping an eye on this thread and it looks like there is quite a bit of interest in this topic from the Enterprise Analytics Community. I love to see excitement and passion around a topic, so I’ll work with the Community leadership team to plan this discussion for the March Community Conversation. Please keep sharing on this thread as it will help align the focus for the session. 

Thanks!

When we originally started out with analytics we prioritized our use cases using a consulting firms proprietary optimizer. As time went on we have been able to handle our analytics use cases almost as they come. Our staff have been able to keep up with the pace. Going forward, we expect that pace to ick up rapidly. I am curious how organizations are prioritizing their use cases. I am looking at Gartner’s ROAR process. I am curious as to what other organizations are using.

Thanks Kevin!  This is going to be a fun and valuable exercise. I really look forward to it. We use a cool polling tool that allows you to take the poll and see real-time responses at the same time. We will review real-time responses during the session and take a look at what is bubbling to the top that is of interest to the members of this community and what you have in common in regards to maturity levels, success, challenges. As we are reviewing the responses to the poll during this session, you can ask each other questions, make comments on what you are seeing that is interesting (especially speak up if you want to see it discussed during 2021), and dig a little deeper into the responses with each other. Definitely don’t miss this session if you want to help shape the content for the Natural Gas Analytics Community over the next year. The more responses we get to the poll, the better the data!

To better prepare for the session, you can review the attachment to take a look at the polling questions in advance. You can even take the poll in advance if you are ambitious! :-) 

Directions to take the poll:

• Go to Menti.com
• Enter Code: 42 91 65 2
• Other Option – Direct Link: https://www.menti.com/y21rkxfvaq

 
Thank you all so much and see you online next week!

Between January – December 2020, the Safety Analytics Community level set. Members collaborated amongst their safety, data science, IT and operations peers across the utility industry to share current and planned safety analytics initiatives, lessons learned, obstacles faced, and achieved and desired results. Through this scan of utility safety efforts, members learned innovative ways to use analytics, better understood the current state of utility safety analytics, and closed in on their envisioned future desired state, as well as gained a better idea of what is needed to close the gap to their success.

During 2021, we now want to take a deeper dive into safety analytics. This poll is designed to help us all get to know each other better, understand the use cases you are working on, and your successes and challenges, so we can better plan content for 2021 Safety Analytics Community Conversations that is timely, relevant, and valuable for our members.

Hi my name is John, I’m with Mosaic Data Science, a data science and analytics consulting company, for over 3 years now.  I have 10+ years of experience in the realm of mathematical modeling, analytics, and data science. Although I’m more of a generalist, I’ve recently been involved in several projects related to computer vision and nlp using deep learning methods. Currently, I live in sunny Austin, TX where I take full advantage of year-round warm weather to climb, cycle, and play outdoors.

On a personal level, I’ve been geeking out about smart grid, microgrids, and peer-to-peer energy trading. If you have any interest in these topics I’d love to have others to geek out about those topics with.

Subject: Introduce Yourself

Hello UAI Members,

I’m excited to try something new on UAI’s Member-Only Community. I want to not only make this forum a place for work and professional connections to take place on a daily basis, a place to ask each other questions, find answers and exchange knowledge and share information, I want to make it a fun environment to help us all de-stress, get to know each other a little better, and build bonds and friendships of a lifetime.

One of the coolest things about the UAI community is seeing members make connections with one another-it’s incredible to watch personal and professional relationship and friendships begin, grow, evolve, and last. The more relationships that are built between us and the more we get to know each other, the more valuable our work exchanges will become. We open up, we share more, we learn more and we all become so much better together!

Our community gets bigger every day. Many of you already know one another, while others are brand-new faces. I feel like it’s time that we (both new members and established ones) take a little time to introduce ourselves.

• Share your name
• Where you’re from
• How long you’ve worked in utility analytics
• I also encourage you to share non-invasive personal tidbits about yourself, i.e. what you like to do for fun, your hobbies, your pet peeves, or even your favorite memes, of course keeping it in good taste. Share things that will help us all get to know you better

I think it is important to have a little fun while we work and enjoy each other’s company. Please, use the UAI Member-Only Community as a place to work hard and play hard, enjoy, laugh, and have some fun.

I’ll kick us off, and please know you can include as much or little detail in your introduction. I’m wordy, so I went all out:

I’m Leslie, UAI’s membership & digital engagement manager. I’ve been with UAI for almost five months and I’m passionate about connecting members who share similar interests and challenges, and providing them with benefits, experiences, and tools they need to solve their problems and improve their organizations. I enthusiastically joined UAI to help improve and evolve the UAI membership value, as well as manage UAI’s collection of Communities. I am a strategic program director, dynamic business leader, and expert facilitator with over 20 years of experience. To learn even more about my professional work or to connect with me, visit my profile on UAI’s member-only site or LinkedIn. Please reach out to me directly at any time if you have questions or need anything from UAI. I can be reached at lcook@endeavorb2b.com or 646-693-5965.

I’m a Texas girl at heart, born and raised in a small town in north Texas, and then I headed out west to graduate from Texas Tech University (Go Red Raiders!). After school I moved to Colorado and I’ve lived all along the front range for the last 22 years, settling in Denver for the last six years, and I still have a Texas accent (You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can’t take the Texas accent out of the girl!). I’ve been married to my best friend from high school for 17 years, and we have two amazingly intelligent miniature Australian Shepherds, Indio and Charley, who keep us busy.

When I’m not working, I can be found traveling the world. We have been to 11 countries so far and we hope to continue to expand our adventures. I also like to leverage my high attention to detail and project management skills when dabbling in home remodeling and interior design. I come up with crazy design schemes and my patient husband implements my ideas, doing all the skilled and hard labor work. We are now close to the end of a complete remodel of our 1952 house. I cannot wait to be done with this project that has taken us about three years to complete…I can almost see the light!

I am truly excited to get to know ALL UAI’s members, so please reply to this discussion post to introduce yourself. Give a little of yourself and you will be surprised at how much you get in return through your valuable, purpose-built relationships via UAI.

Like I said, I have only been with UAI for about five months, but I’m already having so much fun and learning a lot from all of you! We have a lot of positive updates coming soon and we are evolving, with your input, to better meet your needs and goals, and I can’t wait to share these things with you. You must stay tuned into UAI’s Member-Only Community to learn more within the next few months. We will also be announcing some new things and some updates during the unique and exciting event we have coming in June 2020, UA Summit Reimagined!

Introduce yourself, learn more about others, and connect through UAI!

Stay safe and healthy,

     Leslie

Good afternoon Safety Analytics Community Members,

We need your input! Please take the Safety Analytics Community Poll to help us plan and build content for the 2021 Safety Analytics Community Conversations. We want to delivery monthly programs that are relevant, timely, valuable, and help you address your challenges and meet your goals.

Directions to take the poll:

2.) Enter code 83 52 03 5
3.) Answer the questions in the poll as it relates to safety analytics within your utility

Between January – December 2020, the Safety Analytics Community level set. Members collaborated amongst their safety, data science, IT and operations peers across the utility industry to share current and planned safety analytics initiatives, lessons learned, obstacles faced, and achieved and desired results. Through this scan of utility safety efforts, members learned innovative ways to use analytics, better understood the current state of utility safety analytics, and closed in on their envisioned future desired state, as well as gained a better idea of what is needed to close the gap to their success.

During 2021, we now want to take a deeper dive into safety analytics. This poll is designed to help us all get to know each other better, understand the use cases you are working on, and your successes and challenges, so we can better plan content for 2021 Safety Analytics Community Conversations that is timely, relevant, and valuable for our members.

We encourage you to take the Safety Analytics Community Poll to help us shape the monthly Safety Analytics Community Conversations! 

We currently have 96 Safety Analytics Community Members. I would like at least 20 members to take this poll, so we can have a 20% response rate. We currently have 9 members that took the poll during today’s (1/26/21) Community Conversation, so lets add more to this count!

Thank you all so much for playing an active role in helping make this Community a valuable experience!

Cheers!

Subject: Data Analytics Candidate

I met this Data Science Candidate fellow out side my apartment building during yesterday’s storm. Would you hire him? Wasn’t very emotional but seems like he can weather the storm. Adores Tableau ( definition: group of models or motionless figures representing a scene from a story or from history). Was bowled over on Snowplow Software. He refuses to work with Spark, will not go near Spotfire, loves Snowflake, Jupyter Notebook is cool enough, H20.ai needs to be cooler, goes gaga over Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor)

Hello UAI Grid Analytics Community Members,

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Since we launched the Grid Analytics Community back in September 2020, we have doubled our member size. We are now 82 members strong! WOW! Thanks so much to everyone that has joined this Community over the last few months!

When we first launched this community, we did a “getting to know you” session and survey, so we could get to know each other and better understand where you are within your grid analytics journey, your successes and challenges, and your needs and wants in regards to topics of discussion. We collected this information so that we could better plan content for our monthly Community Conversations. Since we started this group with fewer members, we now want to take an opportunity at the beginning of 2021 to re-circulate our “getting to know you” survey.

There are A LOT more members now that will have input. Plus, we need more input to help us build out our monthly content… We’ve almost used all the content from the first round of results to pull together programs in 2020 through February 2021. Please take 5 minutes to complete this easy survey! We will keep it open until Friday, January 29, so don’t delay and take it today! 

Thank you all so much!

Take the Survey by January 29 at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Grid2021!

Cheers,
Leslie Cook, Kevin Praet, and your friendly Grid Analytics Community Leadership Team
