14 Benefits of Smart Data & Analytics Discover. Model programs, management strategies, and reports in minutes. Identify & justify new ways to capture load, reduce costs, and increase revenues. Detect theft. Assess. Determine what contribution DSM and EE programs can have to the situation based on a variety of variables. Establish quantifiable metrics for business & rate cases. Strategize. Better plan, target, define & validate energy management programs. Simplify. Reduce complexity. Correlate dispersed information to expose risk, loss, capacity, and inefficiency. Automate and support time-consuming decisions & analysis. Optimize. Create optimized asset, pricing, demand, power purchase, and usage reduction strategies based on insight gained from analytics. Target specific customer segments for programs based on multiple attributes. Achieve. Realize operational efficiencies, optimized field staffing, reduced costs, and improved business value.

15 Criteria for Technology Selection Interoperability the solution must be able to integrate easily with existing energy data systems, devices, and applications. It should be open architecture and support current industry standards. Flexibility the solution should utilize a SOA and work with all required data, devices, engines, and applications to reduce risk and provide long-term options. Intelligence just having access to more data isn t helpful. The right system must be able to mine, analyze, and distill information in a way that enables you to manage energy and reduce costs. Track record if it hasn t been deployed beyond pilot stage, it isn t proven. Adaptability the solution should provide value for all stakeholders (as well as customers!); DSM programs should be expandable and adaptable for future needs and requirements. Adoptability the solution must be simple to use, effective, and provide a clear value for utilities and their customers. Automation the solution must be able to automate energy management for customers. Changing behavior is too expensive, unreliable, and time consuming.
