Utilities

It’s no longer enough to report on what happened yesterday or today. Driven by the demands of smart grids and the need to improve energy efficiency, forward-thinking utility companies are increasingly turning to Analytic Data Solutions to predict and model future outcomes related to asset management, financial transformation and customer management.

To meet these challenges, Teradata helps utilities to integrate data sources and leverage deep analysis into insights enabling the best strategic and tactical decisions possible to improve operations, enhance performance and respond to energy consumption activity.

With Analytic Data Solutions based on a strategic data warehouse, utilities can create advantage from near real-time data that may let them:

  • Negate or postpone the building of additional generation
  • Improve asset maintenance and failure prediction
  • Develop and support a demand reduction program
  • Employ predictive forecasting to reduce the load on substations
  • Design better programs for improved return on capital investment

Our innovative utility customers include SCE, OGE, Sask Power, Xcel Energy, SCANA and SABESP.

Next Steps

Active Smart Grid Analytics
Globally, electric utility companies are expected to spend an estimated $1.5 trillion over the next twenty years to create a “smart” electric grid. However, by themselves smart devices actually aren’t very smart and don’t create business value out of the vast amount of data that is collected. Teradata’s Active Smart Grid Analytics functions as the “brain” that analyzes data, identifies trends, predicts events and enables smart decisions.
