Technological advancements and the exponential growth of information are reshaping business operations across numerous sectors, including government. The rate at which governments generate data and archive it digitally is accelerating, driven by the proliferation of mobile devices and apps, smart sensors, cloud computing solutions, and public-facing portals. As digital information expands in volume and complexity, managing, processing, storing, securing, and disposing of it becomes increasingly intricate. Emerging tools for capturing, searching, discovering, and analyzing data are enabling organizations to extract valuable insights from unstructured sources. The government sector is reaching a critical juncture, recognizing information as a strategic asset. Agencies must protect, leverage, and analyze both structured and unstructured data to better serve citizens and meet mission objectives. As government leaders evolve toward data-driven organizations to successfully achieve their missions, they are establishing the framework to correlate dependencies across events, personnel, processes, and information.

High-impact government solutions are emerging from the integration of the most disruptive technologies:

• Mobile devices and applications
• Cloud services
• Social business technologies and networking
• Big Data and analytics

Big Data serves as a key intelligent industry solution, empowering governments to make superior decisions by acting upon patterns revealed through the analysis of vast volumes of data—whether related or unrelated, structured or unstructured.

However, achieving these outcomes requires far more than merely accumulating large amounts of data. "Making sense of these volumes of Big Data requires cutting-edge tools and technologies that can analyze and extract useful knowledge from vast and diverse streams of information," Tom Kalil and Fen Zhao of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy noted in a post on the OSTP Blog.

The White House took a significant step toward assisting agencies in identifying these technologies by establishing the National Big Data Research and Development Initiative in 2012. This initiative allocated over $200 million to maximize the potential of the Big Data explosion and the tools necessary to analyze it.

The challenges posed by Big Data are nearly as formidable as its promise is encouraging. Efficiently storing data is one such challenge. With budgets often tight, agencies must minimize the cost per megabyte of storage while ensuring data remains easily accessible so users can retrieve it as needed. Backing up massive data volumes further complicates this task.

Effectively analyzing data presents another major challenge. Many agencies utilize commercial tools to sift through vast amounts of data, identifying trends that enhance operational efficiency. (A recent MeriTalk study revealed that federal IT executives believe Big Data could help agencies save over $500 billion while also fulfilling mission objectives.)

Custom-developed Big Data tools are also enabling agencies to meet their analytical needs. For instance, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Computational Data Analytics Group has made its Piranha data analytics system available to other agencies. This system has assisted medical researchers in identifying links that alert doctors to aortic aneurysms before they occur. It is also employed for routine tasks, such as filtering resumes to match job candidates with hiring managers.

Connected devices are disrupting businesses across the board, with power utilities being no exception. Power utility companies are currently grappling with four major challenges brought about by the rise of IoT.

1. Vendors are increasingly connecting machines, controllers, HMIs, and SCADA systems to the cloud, promising enhanced analytics and insights for predictive and preventative maintenance. However, stringent quarantine policies for critical assets prevent power companies from leveraging these new IoT features offered by machine and controller vendors.
2. With the rapidly decreasing cost of solar and wind power microgrids, utility companies are anticipating a decline in revenue from power generation. To compensate for this loss, companies must aggressively pursue new revenue streams such as energy management for homes as a service, energy storage as a service, and grid services for EV charging or P2P energy trading (between homes, between homes and microgrids, between microgrids, between microgrids and batteries, between homes and batteries, etc.). All of this requires facilitation through smart metering, smart grids, and secure transactions enabled by Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) like IOTA. Additionally, utilities are exploring offering various smart city services to municipal authorities.
3. For critical infrastructure like dams, ICOLD (International Committee of Large Dams) mandates real-time Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) to provide advance warning of potential collapses or dangers associated with dams, rocks, or tunnels, allowing for the evacuation of affected populations.
4. Another emerging revenue area is EV charging in parking facilities. This module explores how IoT can facilitate smart charging and smart parking solutions.

Over the last three years, IoT engineering has undergone massive changes, primarily driven by Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. These tech giants have invested billions of dollars to develop IoT platforms that are easier to manage and more secure. Furthermore, IoT edge computing has gained significant momentum in both research and deployment as the primary method for practical IoT implementation. The advent of 5G promises to transform the IoT business landscape, leading to unprecedented levels of research funding in this area. Consequently, for any practicing engineer, it is absolutely essential to understand the IoT platforms developed by major players like AWS, Google, and especially Microsoft.

However, none of these platforms offer an exhaustive or completely comprehensive solution for scalable IoT. For instance, deploying smart meters to millions of homes requires additional technologies to secure the smart meters, radio networks, IoT management technology, and many other secured services. The strategy, pricing, and security of any IoT deployment must be optimal and acceptable. Given the vast interdisciplinary knowledge required, it is almost impossible for any single company to assemble a team that can meet all these requirements.

This course is a modest attempt to educate key decision-makers, developers, and security experts on the challenges, risks, and practical methods for deploying IoT in next-generation power utility businesses.

Additionally, as deployment scales, managing IoT services for thousands of sensors and connections has emerged as a distinct engineering subject of research. This area, formerly known as managed IoT services, is experiencing rapid growth because the challenges of scalable IoT are far greater than simply building them. This includes securing over-the-top firmware/software updates, managing sensor and system calibration, auto-diagnosing connection issues, identifying the root cause of API failures, and tracking the hardware and service health of distributed systems, among others.
