Abstract
The digital infrastructure of the smart grid is changing the nature of the power industry, and advanced analytics are the lever to realize the benefits of this intelligent structure. Traditional approaches to data management and to managing data truth in the enterprise fall short, where new software approaches can bring success. This chapter discusses the challenges of creating a highly scalable, easily managed, secure foundation for data management, and it explores techniques that can drive the transformation necessary to meet society’s energy demands with a modernized grid.
