SMi present their 2nd annual
Smart Grid Data and Information Management
Managing the mountains of data
9th and 10th May 2012
|
The smart grid will generate data from hundreds of thousands of customers .....but how will we manage and utilize the mountains of data that is created?
Data Tsunami, Data Moutain, Tide of Data......however it is put thanks to the developments and recent advancements of the smart grid and smart meter, soon utilities will be flooded with data from every home a smart meter is in place. The million dollar question is how can they avoid being data rich, but information poor? The benefits of the smart grid do not lie in the quantities of data gathered, but the information that this data provides about consumption patterns and energy use, which in turn can result in benefits for the customers, increased energy effiicency, better energy management, and increased profits for the utilities. How this data is turned into valuable, and more importantly actionable, information and stored provides fantastic opportunities for vendors in terms of analysis and storage solutions.

Why should you attend this event?
The smart grid represents a great opportunity to bring about a paradigm shift in the way in which consumers use electricity and understand their consumption habits. However the way in which smart meters' systems are designed and deployed present numerous challenges and risks for consumers. Data and information management is only one of them, but indeed one of the most important. This data from hundreds of different sources must be turned into information is analyzed and integrated in a manner that leads to action and results for the consumer and utility.
Massive amounts of data is forecast to swap the existing infrastructure with the immenient roll out of the smart meter world wide. This poses a new challenge to all those involved. It has been mentioned the energy economy has moved on from a power economy to a data and power economy, which has the possibility of being of great value to customers, consumers, providers, and generators, if managed correctly. This is a new area, full of variability, differing expectations and goals. This conference aims to discuss how to maximise this opportunity.
