1 Grid Analytics Europe June 2017 Electric T&D Utility Analytic Use Cases Andy Gay T&D Segment Leader

2 Grid Analytics Europe 2017 Overview Industry Trends Analytics Platform Core T&D Analytics Innovative Analytics Use Cases Summary

3 Industry Trends

4 Industry Trends What is Driving Grid Analytics? Business: Supply everywhere Changing business model(s), revenue opportunities Need better decisions, more quickly Technology: Capitalization of Cloud computing Huge untapped data resources Incorporation of Machine Learning and AI 4

5 Data Integration Challenge 80% 50% of projects will exceed budget, or fail to deliver expected benefits due to inadequate data integration tools & architecture. of a data analytics project time and cost is associated with data integration. 5

6 Complex Environments Lead to Complex Data Why is Industrial Data so complicated? Variety of Source Types Messy Data Complex Data Relations Different Sizes Massive Volumes Varied Frequency 6

10 Analytics Business Case Develop high level Analytics use cases and Strategy Interview user groups & prioritize Detailed benefits analysis for high priority Analytics Implement platform & test Proof-of-Concept (PoC) applications Speed is critical, think agile prototyping, microservices Validate business case Full-scale implementation Workflow change management Audit benefit models Repeat 10

11 Core T&D Analytics

12 Foundational Use Cases Network Connectivity & Visualization Asset Optimization DER Integration Foundational Use Cases Provide 50 70% of Business Benefits 12

13 Network Connectivity and Visualization Digital Twin of the T&D grid Creates asset awareness of how connected Provides geospatial reporting and analysis Supports all other use cases 13

14 Asset Optimization Manage T&D asset fleet as a whole Quantify impacts of DER adoption 15% reduction in O&M expense reported with increased asset life Continuous improvement of maintenance strategy 14

15 DER Analytics Circuit Hosting Capacity - illustration Adoption trends identify areas that may expect an increase in DER adoption Clustering identify trends in technology co-adoption (EV, solar, storage, etc.) Impact on O&M identify locations that may experience increases in device operations / reduction in expected lifetime due to DER adoption 15

16 DERMS Dashboard 16

17 Foundational Use Cases Provide the starting point for gathering, cleansing, and improving data Support new and innovative use cases Use Artificial Intelligence to build semantic models geared to solving business problems Use Data Science to look for patterns & make suggestions how data can be used Establish a Proof-of-Concept framework to evaluate and prove business benefits Bring Order to the Data 17

18 Innovative Analytics Use Cases

19 Innovative Use Cases Outage Prediction Cyber Security Customer Energy Trading Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Inspections 19

20 Outage Prediction Calculate the expected number and duration of outages Project the level of storm damage and impact on time of restoration (resiliency impact) Visualization of danger trees (combine with Vegetation Management analytic use case) Probability of occurrence & intensity of storm events, ice, wind, snow, etc., (history and forecast) Number of expected storm days/year (weather history) 20

21 Cyber Security Combine abnormal network traffic patterns on the grid with operational data to identify potential threats Provide granular Role Based Access Control across analytics platform Executive dashboards show overall security posture, vulnerability and incident management trends 21

22 Customer Energy Trading Utilize demand forecasting and DER integration to enable renewable energy trading amongst prosumers Manage customer level demand as well as customer level capacity (demand response and/or renewable generation) Energy trading software can be used to support revenue generation by brokering individual transactions 22

23 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Inspections Image Recognition Hot Spot Detection Corona Detection LiDAR Analysis Replace flyovers and field inspections Image Recognition Software Perfectly repeat inspection routes 23

24 Summary

25 Summary Bring Business and IT together to develop business case(s) Leverage contacts at peer utilities Use PoC to verify business case assumptions before proceeding Start populating model and cleansing data ASAP Prepare for workflow change management (more than just training) Establish executive champion and key stakeholders early on Quantitative and qualitative ( soft ) benefits both ok since driving for strategic goals In the future, we will provide service to an even larger customer base while keeping costs low 25
