Building the pyramid of grid analytics

The energy system is changing according to fundamental trends – the transition to renewable energy, the decentralization of generation, the electrification of loads, and of course digitalization. These trends are introducing new challenges to both transmission and distribution system operators.

Conventional approaches are not able to deal efficiently with these challenges and are becoming less effective and more labor-intensive. This is where grid analytics can help, by adopting data-driven approaches and processes across the organization.
In this white paper, we describe the grid analytics as a pyramid, which should be built up layer by layer from the base. Implementing processes that will ensure the quality of each layer is vital, otherwise value delivery suffers, leading to a loss of trust in such innovations and to resistance. In addition, we put the implementation of grid analytics in the perspective of the cultural and legal environment that grid operators find themselves in.
