Presentation by John Pressley and Dylan Lustig, Duke Energy Corporation | This discussion outlines the trajectory of digital transformation at Duke Energy. As of late 2020, Duke Energy's open #analytics platform utilizes one to one and a half terabytes of data per day, related to #meter usage, meter voltage, plan information, #sensor data, and more. Originally designed for revenue protection, the platform now allows the #utility to leverage #analytics and use #AI and #machinelearning applications to improve services in diverse ways. Pressley and Lustig describe how the data journey informs offerings and decisions. For example, Internet of Things (#IoT) technologies help to support more efficient #solar operations; forecast #grid events at a discrete level; improve mapping relations for grid assets and customer meters; and give large utility customers information about their #carbonemissions footprints.
