Smart Grid Big Data: Automating Analysis of Distribution Systems

A computer cloud based architecture for the automated analysis of distribution systems is presented. Smart Grid Big Data solutions are delivered by combining Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Outage Management System (OMS), and weather measurements with big models and measurement driven analysis of the big models. Both daily analysis for management and real-time analysis for operations are considered. Two types of system models, As-Designed and As-Is models, are used in the solution.
