Advances in technology and the escalating volume of information are reshaping business operations across numerous industries, including the public sector. The rate at which governments generate data and archive digital records is accelerating, driven by the rapid proliferation of mobile devices and applications, smart sensors and devices, cloud computing solutions, and citizen-facing portals. As digital information expands and grows more complex, the management, processing, storage, security, and disposition of that data become increasingly intricate. New tools for capture, search, discovery, and analysis are enabling organizations to derive insights from unstructured data. The government sector is reaching a critical juncture, recognizing that information is a strategic asset. To better serve the public and meet mission requirements, governments must protect, leverage, and analyze both structured and unstructured information. As government leaders strive to evolve into data-driven organizations capable of successfully accomplishing their missions, they are laying the groundwork to correlate dependencies across events, people, processes, and information.

High-value government solutions will emerge from a combination of the most disruptive technologies:

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

Big Data represents an intelligent industry solution that enables government entities to make better decisions by taking action based on patterns revealed through the analysis of large volumes of data—both related and unrelated, structured and unstructured.

However, achieving these outcomes requires far more than simply accumulating massive quantities 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," noted Tom Kalil and Fen Zhao of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy 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 included more than $200 million to maximize the potential of the Big Data explosion and the tools required to analyze it.

The challenges posed by Big Data are nearly as daunting as its promise is encouraging. Efficient data storage is one such challenge. As always, budgets are tight, so agencies must minimize the per-megabyte cost of storage and keep data easily accessible, ensuring users can retrieve it when and how they need it. Backing up massive quantities of data further heightens this challenge.

Effectively analyzing data is another major hurdle. Many agencies utilize commercial tools that enable them to sift through mountains of data, identifying trends that help them operate more efficiently. (A recent study by MeriTalk found 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 allowing agencies to address the need to analyze their data. For instance, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Computational Data Analytics Group has made its Piranha data analytics system available to other agencies. The system has helped medical researchers find a link that can alert doctors to aortic aneurysms before they strike. It is also used for more routine tasks, such as sifting through resumes to connect job candidates with hiring managers.

Connected devices are disrupting numerous industries, with the power utility sector being no exception. Power utility companies currently face four primary challenges stemming from the growth of the Internet of Things (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, strict quarantine policies regarding critical assets prevent power companies from fully utilizing these new IoT features provided by machine and controller vendors.
2. As the costs of solar and wind power microgrids continue to decrease, utility companies will soon experience declining revenue from traditional power generation. To compensate for this loss, companies must aggressively pursue new revenue streams such as Home Energy Management as a Service, Energy Storage as a Service, grid services for EV charging, and grid services for peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading between homes, microgrids, and batteries. These services require facilitation through smart metering, smart grids, and secure transactions enabled by Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) like IOTA. Additionally, utilities are exploring the provision of smart city services to municipal authorities.
3. For critical infrastructure such as dams, ICOLD (International Committee on Large Dams) mandates real-time Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) to provide advance warning of potential collapses in dams, rock faces, or tunnels, allowing for the evacuation of affected populations.
4. A new emerging revenue area is EV charging in parking facilities. This module explores how IoT can facilitate smart charging and intelligent 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 means for practical IoT implementation. 5G promises to further transform the IoT business landscape, leading to unprecedented levels of research funding in this area. Consequently, it is absolutely essential for practicing engineers to understand the IoT platforms developed by major players such as AWS, Google, and especially Microsoft.

However, none of the aforementioned 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 meters, establish radio networks, manage IoT systems, and provide other secured services. Strategy, pricing, and security for any IoT deployment must be optimal and acceptable. Given the interdisciplinary knowledge required, it is nearly impossible for a single company to assemble a team capable of meeting all these requirements.

This course is a modest attempt to educate key decision-makers, developers, and security experts about the challenges, risks, and practical approaches to deploying IoT for their next-generation power utility business.

In addition, as deployments scale, managing IoT services for thousands of sensors and connections is emerging as a separate engineering subject of research. Known formally as managed IoT services, this area is experiencing rapid growth because the challenges of scalable IoT are significantly greater than simply building the infrastructure. This includes securing over-the-top firmware and software updates, managing sensor and system calibration, auto-diagnosing connection issues, identifying the root cause of API failures, and tracking the health of hardware and services within distributed systems.
