Synopsis:

Smart Energy systems, by their very nature require the translation of data generated by different components 'from the HV to the home' to actionable information. The questions asked and hence the type, frequency and volumes of data required will be many and varied. Within this presentation we will discuss a common thread of work from the development of as a service components for the smartening of distribution grids, through to the use of smart grid consumption and in the future non-consumption information to solve a number of significant and pressing issues as we roll out a smart power network.
