Utility Analytics 101 (Virtual Training)

UAI has partnered with the University of Oklahoma Data Science and Analytics Institute (OU DSAI) to develop and deliver Utility Analytics 101 training.

Utility Analytics 101 is delivered via virtual classroom and private group training throughout the year. All delivery formats consist of a lecture component and practical utility analytics application.

The Utility Analytics 101 course is a three-day workshop for professionals in the utility industry and covers key topics in analytics, database fundamentals, data preparation, and visualization, with a focus on smart meter data. Participants will learn how analytics can optimize operations in utilities, including safety, predictive maintenance, and sustainability efforts. The workshop introduces machine learning applications in utilities, discusses the importance of data integrity and security, and explores big data infrastructure like Hadoop and Spark. Through hands-on exercises, participants will design and build databases, clean and prepare data, and visualize insights. Additional topics include time-series data handling, anomaly detection in smart meter
data, and data quality metrics. By the end of the workshop, participants will have the skills to apply analytics to real-world utility scenarios, ensuring data-driven decision-making in their organizations.
