Power Generation:Where do we drill for oil? (Geospatial analysis)How much wind/solar might we get? (Weather forecasting)What is the state of the power plant? (Monitoring & diagnostics)
Transmission and Distribution:Is our electrical grid in good condition? (Reliability analysis)When is the highest daily electricity usage? (Pattern recognition) Are there indications of power theft? (Machine learning)
“Show me the money!”What will be the market price of biomass? (Demand analysis)Will there be lower tariffs with smart meters? (Asset pricing)How do we brand nuclear energy? (Risk management)
