Bit Stew machine learning for smart-grid operational triage
BC Hydro used machine learning to triage smart-grid data generating approximately 237 million values daily
Problem
Smart meters greatly increased the volume of operational data BC Hydro had to interpret. Information spread across separate systems made it harder to identify problems quickly.
Approach
BC Hydro implemented Bit Stew's MIx Core and MIx Director Suite. The software combined operational data and applied machine learning to detect patterns and anomalies. Operators used a shared dashboard to prioritise alerts and assess outages.
Results
Takeaway
The deployment supported operational triage, but no controlled measurement of faster outage restoration was disclosed.
