Application of big data analytics to support power networks and their transition towards smart grids

摘要

Power systems are becoming more complex, which increases instability issues and outage risks. The development of smart grids could help manage such complex systems. One important pillar in smart grids is big data analytics. In this poster paper, we discuss where and how machine learning could contribute to more efficient asset management. We also identify challenges that stand in the way of the widespread use of big data analytics in smart grids. While the nature of data, as well as data and asset management systems themselves make the use of big data challenging, data analytics could improve the reliability of power supply by providing the functions of detection, prediction, and selection.
