Electricity Industry Agenda * Participate and learn from industry peers and experts in these valuable sessions to help you get started and advance your digital industrial journey. Leaders in the power and utility industry recognise that digital is the secret to a competitive edge in a dynamic market. Control and flexibility to serve business needs with greater confidence and precision are an outcome of leveraging data and analytics to drive efficiency and profitability. In these sessions, you will discover untapped value and learn how to unlock gains across the Electricity Value Network from renewables to fossil and coal steam power plants, through transmission and distribution to commercial and consumer utilisation. Digital Transformation of Power & Utility Tuesday, June 13, 1:00pm Main Stage Utility companies and power generators must rethink their entire business model to compete in a shifting environment. Join industry leaders as they discuss the importance of a unifying technology platform to gain economies of scale, cross-enterprise visibility and speed to market in their businesses of generation, transmission/ distribution and prosumer. Convergence of Markets, Monitoring and Optimisation Tuesday, June 13, 2:00pm Main Stage Faster than you think, the days of monitoring centers per plant or region operating in silos, focusing just on equipment performance, are becoming a thing of the past. The ability to leverage vast volumes of machine data in a cloud environment for market and operational insights across fleets and geographies is ushering a new age of operations and automation, expanding the reach and capacity for M&D. Attend this session and hear for yourself how this shift means greater economies of scale, improved efficiencies and better capital planning decisions. This session will include live demos of Predix** and discussions about the future of the industry. Digital Worker in Power and Utility Wednesday, June 14, 11:00am Breakout 1 Ultimately, the success of any operation comes down to the people who run it. Enabling those workers with the most efficient tools, scheduling automation, knowledge capture and sharing, and mobile technologies can make all the difference in productivity gains. Learn how optimisation software and geo-aware innovations are changing the way operations are executed in the modern plant, fleet and grid arenas. *Session locations and times subject to change. **Predix is a trademark of General Electric Company. The New Utility Gold Mine Accelerating Transformation with Data Science Wednesday, June 14, 3:00pm Breakout 1 The possibilities are only beginning for the power and utility markets to leverage analytics for transformative change, innovating newer business models from generation to consumer. From the existing >550K GE Digital Twins built to date to self-learning neural networks in production today, applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and data science seems boundless. Don t be left behind as you learn how analytics are already expediting the rate of change for energy players. Digital Transformation of Renewables Tuesday, June 13, 3:00pm Breakout 2 Now that the momentum of change is underway for renewable energy, how can data and analytics drive the most efficient and productive operation of these power sources? How do we effectively manage renewables across the grid? Join the experts as they discuss ways that deep analytic insights can produce greater power output, reduce unplanned downtime and increase the contributions of your lowestcost power sources. When Physical Meets Digital: Unlocking Intelligent Environments Wednesday, June 14, 2:00pm Breakout 1 Combining capabilities in LED, solar, energy storage, electric vehicle infrastructures, and wireless controls can drive a new path for productivity and energy management for cities and businesses globally. In this session, learn how local generation, energy saving technologies and deep analytic insights are creating more intelligent, efficient and profitable city environments. Microgrids and Digital Substations Wednesday, June 14, 1:00pm Breakout 3 Listen to the stories of power and utility trendsetters as they discuss steps taken along their digital journey.
