Unlocking Grid Orchestration: Why Data Fabrics are Essential for AI-Driven Grids
AI and machine learning (ML) offer the potential to transform grid management, enabling utilities to manage renewable energy at scale, orchestrate millions of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), and proactively address grid disruptions. But a grid data foundation is critical to fully realizing these benefits.
Electric utilities have vast (and growing!) data sources at their fingertips, spanning IT and OT, T&D, and even external sources such as wildfire and weather data. However, the collective value of the data often goes unrealized because of challenges with intra-system connections and accessibility. In this webinar, join experts as they discuss why implementing a data fabric is key to creating a smart grid. Learn how data fabrics seamlessly connect all data, allowing every system to access and leverage its AI-enabled insights for grid automation, forecasting, scenario planning, and countless other smart grid functions. This webinar will explore:
- The transformative power of AI/ML in grid operations
- How data fabrics support a combination of different data integration styles
- Steps to building a grid data fabric for end-to-end orchestration
