How Big Data Platforms can Deliver Enhanced Reliability for the Energy Industry

Extracting incremental value out of investments in smart meters, communication infrastructure, and connected sensors and devices is a complex challenge. Software must assimilate big data and deliver actionable information in real time to solve critical problems for energy employees that are asked to do more and more every day. Improving Electric Distribution Reliability is one of those key challenges.

In this webinar, you will learn how complex operational data can be transformed into an easy automatic solution to deliver improved Electric Distribution Reliability with the added benefits of reducing cost, and improving safety and customer satisfaction. Resulting from their strategic OEM partnership, Aclara and Bit Stew Systems will articulate how Aclara’s big data scientists solve the reliability problem and were able to rapidly integrate Bit Stew’s MIx Core™ platform to provide the answers in a visual, actionable solution.

The joint solution built by Aclara and Bit Stew, leveraging the MIx product portfolio, provides the ability to deliver improved Electric Distribution Reliability with the added benefits of reducing cost, and improving safety and customer satisfaction by:

  • Accurately detecting faults in record time while eliminating false alarms
  • Precisely identifying the location of the fault to dispatch crews to the right location more quickly
  • Expediting restoration and identifying nested outages to avoid situations where single ‘no light’ outages go undetected by work crews
  • Cloud hosting to reduce the cost of IT infrastructure and training
