INTEGRATED MULTI-SCALE

DATA ANALYTICS AND

MACHINE LEARNING

Sensing and Measurements

► Develop and demonstrate distributed analytics solutions to building-grid challenges, leveraging multi-scale data sets, from both sides of the meter.

► Evaluate and demonstrate the application of machine learning to create actionable information for grid and building operators.

► Enable the transition from data to actionable information at the building to grid interface.

NASEO 9/19/2017 8

INTEROPERABILITY

► Advance adoption of interoperable products and services in the energy sector.

► Reduction of cost and effort for system integration; improved performance, efficiency, and security.

► Facilitate gap analysis, develop roadmaps, and demonstrate vision concepts.

FUTURE ELECTRICITY

UTILITY REGULATION

► Provide technical assistance and analysis for public utility commissions (PUCs) and a series of reports with multiple perspectives on evolving utility regulation and ratemaking, utility business models and electricity markets:• Adapting to new technologies and services

• Assessing potential financial impacts on utility shareholders and customers

• Engaging consumers

• Addressing utility incentives to achieve grid modernization goals

► Reports:• The Future of Centrally-Organized Wholesale Electricity Markets (March

2017)

• Regulatory Incentives for Utilities to Invest in Grid Modernization (May 2017)

• Value-Added Electricity Services: New Roles for Utilities and Third Parties (available soon)
