Episode #10 | Big Data Analytics and the Brilliant Grid
This episode of The Energy Exchange is focused on data connectivity between applications and the information it generates that goes beyond Big Data and Smart Algorithms, as well as how IT plays a key role in using the information received from connected systems. Anyone who has purchased an item, or even just simply looked at certain items online, has experienced the magic of related suggestions for purchase that are pushed to us by various search engines. This type of customer predictive behavior is only one example of how and what we do is noted, recorded, analyzed and acted upon. In looking at what the electric utility business is doing with the vast amount of available data, it is often hard to envision how this can be transformed into meaningful and actionable tactics. To help us better understand the potential of mining data, host Ron Chebra speaks with Jerry Sullivan.
