With the move towards the smart grid an abundance of data is now flooding utility networks. Identifying, capturing and making sense of all of this information is now critical to making informed business decisions and improving grid operations and network performance. Grid Analytics Europe 2013 is a dedicated conference, exhibition and networking forum designed to provide implementable information and guidance to establish and execute a robust data management and analytics strategy within the utility environment. Practical experience-based sessions will demonstrate how to develop an infrastructure to ensure data quality, break down silo-based operations, overcome systems interoperability and harmonisation issues, and ensure access to the right data at the right time. Industry front-runners will share how they are implementing data analytics to improve load management, regulate voltage fluctuations, enable the transition to renewable energy resources, achieve proactive maintenance and asset management, and ensure grid stability and security. This event will bring together key cross-functional stakeholders charged with improving utility network operations and realising the smart grid vision in practice.Hear utility case studies from:Stefan Rebner, Fortum DistributionArto Matsinen, Fortum Sähkönsiirto OyEva Pagan, Red Electrica de EspanaEric Lambert, EDF R&DNejc Petrovič, Elektro GorenjskaAurélio Blanquet, EDP DistribuiçãoJenny Woodruff, Western Power DistributionAykut Uysal, EnexisPer-Oddvar Osland, Agder Energi NettMarti Laidre, Elektrilevi OÜDavid MacLeman, Scottish & Southern Energy Power DistributionAntonello Buodonno, ENEL Distribuzione
