What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

bull No single standard definition

bull ldquoBig Datardquo is data whose scale diversity and complexity require new architecture techniques algorithms and analytics to manage it and extract value and hidden knowledge from ithellip

29

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

bull The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland will produce about 15 petabytes of data per year

67

Outlier Analysis

68

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

bull Outage Management

bull Transformer Load Modeling and Asset Management

bull A full circuit model is important for

bull Circuit modeling

bull Phasing

bull Voltage Management

bull Most model improvements are done manually when discrepancies are noticed by an operator dispatcher or field crew

bull The Smart Gird and Analytics can offer solutions to automatically identify discrepancies and errors They include

bull Outage amp Event Analysis

bull Outlier Analysis

bull 100 accuracy should always be a goal but recognizing the current state will help drive opportunities

bull Known problem areas can be prioritized and addressed

67

Outlier Analysis

68

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

Baseline Methods

bull Existing Methods focus on near term historical data

ndash Use from 1 up to 10 previous days

ndash Typically take simple hourly average of selected historical data

ndash May apply adjustments due to weather pre- and post- event load data

bull Issues with Existing Methods

ndash Accuracy

ndash Subject to gaming especially if events can be anticipated

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

ndash Allow for forecasting for dynamic setsgroups of loads

2) Response (capability) Forecastsndash Direct Load Control Operational forecasts and limits

ndash Dynamic Pricing Behavioral considerations

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

29

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Outlier Analysis

68

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

bull The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland will produce about 15 petabytes of data per year

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

29

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

bull The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland will produce about 15 petabytes of data per year

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

bull Outlier Analysis

bull 100 accuracy should always be a goal but recognizing the current state will help drive opportunities

bull Known problem areas can be prioritized and addressed

67

Outlier Analysis

68

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

bull The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland will produce about 15 petabytes of data per year

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

ndash Allow for forecasting for dynamic setsgroups of loads

2) Response (capability) Forecastsndash Direct Load Control Operational forecasts and limits

What are AnalyticsCommon Definitions

bull Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics computer programming and operations research to quantify performance Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight ndashSource Wikipedia

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

bull Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies and organization to make better business decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope purpose and focus of the analysis Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships Data analytics focuses on inference the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher ndash Source What iscom

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

bull The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland will produce about 15 petabytes of data per year

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

bull The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland will produce about 15 petabytes of data per year

ndash Subject to gaming especially if events can be anticipated

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

bull The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland will produce about 15 petabytes of data per year

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

bull The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland will produce about 15 petabytes of data per year

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

bull The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland will produce about 15 petabytes of data per year

Analytics 20 Big Data - DefinitionsAccording to Wikipedia

bull Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

bull The challenges include capture curation storage search sharing transfer analysis and visualization

bull The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data allowing correlations to be found to spot business trends determine quality of research prevent diseases link legal citations combat crime and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions

30

Does ldquoBig Datardquo Matter bull The New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte

of new trade data per day

bull Facebook hosts approximately 10 billion photos taking up one petabyte of storage

bull Ancestrycom the genealogy site stores around 25 petabytes of data

bull The Internet Archive stores around 2 petabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month

Outlier Analysis

68

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Baseline Methods

bull Existing Methods focus on near term historical data

ndash May apply adjustments due to weather pre- and post- event load data

bull Issues with Existing Methods

ndash Accuracy

ndash Subject to gaming especially if events can be anticipated

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

ndash Allow for forecasting for dynamic setsgroups of loads

2) Response (capability) Forecastsndash Direct Load Control Operational forecasts and limits

ndash Dynamic Pricing Behavioral considerations

bull Issues with Existing Methods

ndash Accuracy

ndash Subject to gaming especially if events can be anticipated

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Subject to gaming especially if events can be anticipated

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

bull Most model improvements are done manually when discrepancies are noticed by an operator dispatcher or field crew

bull The Smart Gird and Analytics can offer solutions to automatically identify discrepancies and errors They include

bull Outage amp Event Analysis

bull Outlier Analysis

bull 100 accuracy should always be a goal but recognizing the current state will help drive opportunities

bull Known problem areas can be prioritized and addressed

67

Outlier Analysis

68

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

68

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Outlier Analysis

68

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Transformer Load Profilesbull Once a daily transformer load shape is identified it can be used to develop

overall ldquonormalrdquo operating parameters for each device

bull If the loading suddenly exceeds the normal operating envelop an investigation can be initiated to understand why the change in load shape

bull In many cases the equipment may need to be upsized or load relief activities must be performed

Outlier Analysis

68

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

bull 100 accuracy should always be a goal but recognizing the current state will help drive opportunities

bull Known problem areas can be prioritized and addressed

67

Outlier Analysis

68

During a routine transformer outage outlier customers are identified and corrections to the connectivity models are made

Transformer Monitoring

69

bull Utilities use analytics to determine transformer overloads and predict failures based on metering data from the AMR AMI data

bull A program was initiated to investigate daily transformer consumption data (aggregated from meter data) for failures that occurred during winter peak load days

bull Transformers with yr-to-yr load increase of more than 25 (3764 winter 1233 summer) were flagged for investigation

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

Method

Achieved through the use of residential customer Home Energy Reports mailed to

100000 selected participants

Personalized reports indicate how a participant customerrsquos energy consumption

compares to others like them (ldquoNeighboursrdquo)

Baseline Methods

bull Existing Methods focus on near term historical data

bull Issues with Existing Methods

ndash Accuracy

ndash Subject to gaming especially if events can be anticipated

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

ndash Allow for forecasting for dynamic setsgroups of loads

2) Response (capability) Forecastsndash Direct Load Control Operational forecasts and limits

ndash Dynamic Pricing Behavioral considerations

bull High levels of uncertainty due to historical lack of detailed individual information

ndash 15 min AMI data is an enabler

Method

Achieved through the use of residential customer Home Energy Reports mailed to

100000 selected participants

Personalized reports indicate how a participant customerrsquos energy consumption

compares to others like them (ldquoNeighboursrdquo)

Baseline Methods

bull Existing Methods focus on near term historical data

bull Issues with Existing Methods

ndash Accuracy

ndash Subject to gaming especially if events can be anticipated

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

ndash Allow for forecasting for dynamic setsgroups of loads

2) Response (capability) Forecastsndash Direct Load Control Operational forecasts and limits

ndash Dynamic Pricing Behavioral considerations

ndash Accuracy

ndash Subject to gaming especially if events can be anticipated

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

ndash Allow for forecasting for dynamic setsgroups of loads

2) Response (capability) Forecastsndash Direct Load Control Operational forecasts and limits

ndash Dynamic Pricing Behavioral considerations

Method

Achieved through the use of residential customer Home Energy Reports mailed to

100000 selected participants

Personalized reports indicate how a participant customerrsquos energy consumption

compares to others like them (ldquoNeighboursrdquo)

Baseline Methods

bull Existing Methods focus on near term historical data

ndash May apply adjustments due to weather pre- and post- event load data

bull Issues with Existing Methods

ndash Accuracy

ndash Subject to gaming especially if events can be anticipated

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

ndash Allow for forecasting for dynamic setsgroups of loads

2) Response (capability) Forecastsndash Direct Load Control Operational forecasts and limits

ndash Dynamic Pricing Behavioral considerations

bull High levels of uncertainty due to historical lack of detailed individual information

ndash 15 min AMI data is an enabler

Need to be able to accurately forecast aggregate diverse noisy resources

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

2) Response (capability) Forecastsndash Direct Load Control Operational forecasts and limits

Social Benchmarking Pilot ndash Overview

Purpose

Drive residential customer behavioural energy savings by leveraging billed usage

data (TOU data where possible)

Method

Achieved through the use of residential customer Home Energy Reports mailed to

100000 selected participants

Personalized reports indicate how a participant customerrsquos energy consumption

compares to others like them (ldquoNeighboursrdquo)

tailored suggestions on how they might best save energy

bull Issues with Existing Methods

ndash Accuracy

ndash Subject to gaming especially if events can be anticipated

ndash Adjustments may be misleading (eg pre-cooling)

bull Why not Load Forecasts

ndash Statistically calibrated and proven over many years

ndash Incorporate weather and other factors that influence daily load changes

ndash Based on Aggregate loads ndash not adequate for individual loads

115

Forecasting

bull A good forecast helps utility justify rate case

bull Enables incorporation into Unit commitment and dispatch

bull Components ndash1) Load Forecasting to feedermeter level

ndash Allow for forecasting for dynamic setsgroups of loads

2) Response (capability) Forecastsndash Direct Load Control Operational forecasts and limits

ndash Dynamic Pricing Behavioral considerations
