Data analytic for improving operations and maintenance in smart-grid environment

Abstract

The Smart-Grid concept relies on a collection of generation, transmission and distribution components that undertake power production and delivery to various types of loads. Since multiple components have to be collaborated in this procedure, advanced system orchestrators are absolutely necessary. The decision of these intelligent mechanism typically rely on the analysis of large amount of data, also known as “big data analytic”, in order to optimize among others the environmental and economic constraints. This chapter provides an overview of recent advances in the domain of big data analytic, which are suitable for being applied to the smart-grid environment.
