Data Use Cases for Electricity Distribution System Operators

[suchona.kani.z]

Deep and machine learning methods or artificial intelligence can be used to make predictions and detect anomalies on large, complex data sets. The efficiency and accuracy of such models have increased massively in recent years through ongoing research and productive application. This allows relatively reliable analysis results with comparatively little (data) effort.

This means that possible failures of strategically critical network elements can be identified in advance as a use case. Further examples of use cases can be found in the following graphic. A single data use case can ideally be presented economically. This means that the costs of implementing a small IT project, for example, can be recouped through efficiency gains or cost reductions, and in the medium term, data use cases can lead to more efficient use of budget.

Possible data use cases for electricity distribution system operators (Data Analytics Use Cases)

Data use case analysis with innovative moderation formats from adesso
A working meeting helps to create transparency about your own data situation and to determine the feasibility of innovative use cases in your own company.

In a one-day workshop , accompanied and moderated by cyprus consumer email list industry-experienced experts from adesso, the relevant stakeholders can meet and identify the possible data sources and use cases for the distribution network operator.

In joint discussions before the working meeting , relevant topics and important framework conditions (e.g. the IT landscape) are determined for the group of participants. This ensures a result-oriented discussion during the workshop.
In the workshop, the customer's existing data types are analyzed, for example in which unit and which granularity is which data transmitted and stored (in which system)? adesso can put together a detailed data map for the data architecture.
The next step is to analyse which use cases can be implemented by the customer with their data within a defined period of time. The focus is on the focus topics already defined before the workshop. adesso supports this part with experienced industry experts who contribute use case ideas and know-how.
In a final step, the use cases are evaluated by the participants and put into a possible implementation order (recommendation). The evaluation criteria, such as implementation costs, staff availability, cost savings, implementation time, runtime, feasibility, etc. are agreed in advance.
The result of the workshop is ideally a prioritized and evaluated list of use cases that can be transferred to individual IT projects. Some use cases can be implemented by the electricity distribution network operator's internal IT departments and teams if necessary. In addition, adesso can help the customer with the implementation after the working meeting and/or continue to provide advice if the customer wishes. The main goal of data use cases is to relieve the burden on processes and employees through digitized and simplified processes in order to become more efficient and faster.
