The document discusses smart grid technology and predictive engines for operational control. It introduces Metro Power Company as an energy services consultancy focused on real-time energy management. It outlines the smart grid concept and maturity model roadmap for implementation. With increasing data from sensors, artificial intelligence like the Hybrid Artificially Intelligent Statistical Engine (HAISE) will be needed to analyze data and allow for autonomous control elements in smart grid architecture. The convergence of technologies will make smart grids a reality enabled by predictive engines providing autonomous operational control through situational awareness.

10. Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining
True Data Mining est. 1990s
Started as a mix of Statistical Analysis, AI, machine
learning and very large data sets.
Three paths since 2004:
1. Decision trees
2. Artificial Neural Networks
3. Machine Learning
Data Mining uses patterns in data to build models & adjust
Neither A.N.N or Regression Statistics will do for
autonomous control elements.

Convergence of technologies, roadmaps and interoperability
will make smart grid a reality soon
With data, data everywhereartificial intelligence will be
required to turn that data into useful information
