Big Data on the Smart Grid: 2013 in Review and 2014 Outlook - Energy Collective

Big Data on the Smart Grid: 2013 in Review and 2014 Outlook - Energy Collective | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

"Big data" may be the most overused buzz-phrase in the smart grid industry today. But that doesn’t mean that managing, analyzing and deriving operational and customer value from the massive amounts of data being collected by utilities isn’t important and valuable -- or that utilities aren't spending on it.

Decentralised energy: Historically, this has been less of a priority for us. Where we had explored renewables, the results had usually come back showing that demand reduction (energy efficiency initiatives) would be more effective at cutting carbon and controlling costs for occupiers – so this was where we’d focused. However, in the light of some of the insights the crowd gave us, we’re now revisiting feasibility studies for local off-grid energy generation, as a means of reducing reliance on grid electricity and minimising the risk of supply security. We were also interested by the crowd’s suggestions regarding innovative supply arrangements for off-grid generation and supply.
