In the drive toward energy decarbonization and decentralization, the role of analytics is of key importance to utilities. The need to coordinate distributed energy resources while optimizing the grid and controlling costs means continual network monitoring and flexibility - enabled by real-time analytics of operational data from an ever-growing array of endpoints. The ability to mine smart grid data for insights on how to maximize network performance, renewable energy integration and new customer offerings will be increasingly critical to utilities as they migrate toward the Grid of the Future.

The Utility Data Analytics Forum, January 24-25, 2023 in Chicago is a two-day networking and educational conference focused on helping utilities translate Big Data into operational insights and bottom line success. Speakers will discuss the latest analytics tools, technologies, and strategies for reaching across internal IT/OT silos to achieve improved profitability, customer engagement, and network resiliency. The emphasis is on real-world case studies, best practices, and lessons learned to date for successfully implementing advanced analytics within a smart grid utility environment. Topics to be addressed include:

• Leveraging AMI and IoT Big Data analytics to achieve superior customer insights and engagement
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning advances for the utility industry
• Enhancing grid resiliency and reliability through data-driven insights
• Grid infrastructure modeling and T&D network planning
