ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we build on the earlier concepts of the data analytics architecture and examine the role of algorithms and data presentment as well as the use

of visualization to achieve a fully realized data analytics program. The goal of this chapter is to solidify for the reader the foundation for understanding how to use analytics to drive value from the smart grid. The topics introduced in this chapter are the keys for later discussions on applications and implementation issues. Smart grid data classes are also examined, as is the processing layer of the analytics architecture.
