Two Day Thought Leadership Conference June 25th and 26th, Hilton San Diego Resort & Spa, San Diego, CA
Brian Rich VP, Information Technology Pacic Gas & Electric Company
I thought the conference was very good well-organized and managed, great content and a great venue. Please have more events!
If knowledge is power, then todays utilities have more power at their disposal than ever before. The vast amounts of data being collected through smart meters and other system sensors have increased by an exorbitant amount, but not all of that information is being converted into meaningful intelligence. Having invested in the means to gather masses of data from their grids and networks, utilities are now grappling with the looming issue: What should be done with this data to meet the objective of their smart grid deployments and, presumably, generate a return on their investments? There is no clear-cut answer to this question, but this conference will help bring about a better understanding of what data management can do, why you should be using it and how much it really costs (both upfront and in time to implement) with real life-examples. As we saw by the number of sessions that addressed data management at DistribuTECH this year, its the hottest topic in the industry right now. This conference aims to show why utilities are increasingly relying on data analytics and how you can optimize e ciency, reduce operational costs and predict energy demands through it. I gained a lot of knowledge in a short amount of time and was able to make some connections with industry/ vendor reps. This is only my third conference that I have ever attended and I can tell you that without a doubt that it was the best! The sequencing, the speakers, the topical themes.
