The power sector is getting smarter, and increasingly that means more than just intelligent technology installed in the grid. Instead, the key aspect of utility intelligence comes from the collection of data from that smart equipment and the deliberate, thoughtful, and impactful analysis of the data to create customer, asset, and business insights.
Too often, though, utilities are stopping short of implementing those solutions, simply collecting the data and then sitting on it without taking full advantage. Data without analytics is as useful as a power plant disconnected from the grid, but in the increasingly data-filled world, it can be tough to know where to start.
That's where we're leaning on the Energy Central community to provide their experiences and insights in this November Special Issue: "Data Analytics & Intelligence."
For this issue, we want to hear from you! We are seeking stories, white papers, and case studies from our community for this Special Issue Edition. We are especially looking for insights on the following topics: Customer Analytics, Real-Time Data Analytics, Organizational Analytics, Infrastructure Modeling, Analytics, and any other related topics.
Our Special Issues present a unique opportunity to share your experiences with peers in the industry and perhaps even help kickstart conversations that help you and others uncover new potential solutions and opportunities.

For Professionals who work for a Utility, IPP, RTO, or Government Agency

If you need feedback on your submission idea, feel free to send questions or even an abstract to the same email address.
