Condition monitoring: Big data - Where is it and is it useful?

Brian Sparling ; Dynamic Ratings Inc.

Abstract

A great deal has been made of big data and its potential usefulness in many applications in the electric power industry. It certainly is useful in many domains, such as banking and logistics, giving insights to previously ‘hidden’ data aspects that can and do escape the human eye.

Data for assets in substations is required to facilitate condition assessments of equipment and to develop the subsequent action plans for maintaining a safe and secure electrical infrastructure. Often when one seeks to retrieve this data, it can be difficult to find. If it is found, the question arises: how accurate is the data and is it current?

For those engaged in the development of condition (or health) indices, this can prove to be a major challenge. Data quality and timeliness determines the confidence one can place on the evaluations made.
