Analytics for Energy and Utilities

Energy utilities operate some of the most data-rich environments in any industry. SCADA systems sample grid conditions thousands of times per second. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) produces interval usage data for millions of customer endpoints. Outage Management Systems log every fault, switching operation, and restoration activity. Geographic Information Systems catalog every asset from generating stations to service drops. Yet despite this wealth of data, many utilities still struggle to answer basic operational questions like which feeders are most prone to reliability problems, which transformers are nearing end-of-life, and which customer segments offer the best demand response potential.

Adapter builds analytics platforms that unlock the value in utility data. For grid operations, we create real-time monitoring dashboards that display system conditions with drill-down from transmission to distribution to individual feeder levels. We build outage analytics that identify root cause patterns across incidents, weather events, and equipment types, helping reliability engineers focus capital investment on the highest-impact improvements. For asset management, we develop equipment health scoring models that combine SCADA readings, maintenance history, age data, and loading information to rank assets by replacement priority.

For customer operations, we build analytics that segment customers by usage patterns, enabling targeted marketing for time-of-use rate plans, energy efficiency programs, and distributed energy offerings. We develop revenue protection analytics that identify potential meter tampering and billing anomalies. And for regulatory compliance, we automate the calculation of reliability indices like SAIDI, SAIFI, and CAIDI, along with the supporting documentation that public utility commissions require. Every analytics solution we build for utilities is designed with the data governance and security controls appropriate for critical infrastructure, including role-based access, data classification, and audit logging.
