Analytics can help make the grid safer.
Utilities need to beef up security when it comes to smart grids. A breach in smart grid security could spell disaster for utilities. Analytics could be used to help detect if someone is in the grid framework, tampering with meters and other tools. They could also see energy being improperly diverted. It’s already begun to happen and will continue. Smart grids are a powerful too, but they’re also highly vulnerable. Analytics could help maintain and beef up security

drive innovation and ultimately job growth.
IT professionals are always in demand, but especially when it comes to the development side of the smart grid.
“Market for IT solutions will be one of--if not the--largest categories among all of the components of a smart grid. “The only larger category is transmission upgrades, which will be necessary for the grids of the future, but aren't 100% tied to actual 'smart' technology.”

Better understanding how the grid works allows for better efficiency.
Analytics help understand exactly how the grid works and is able to identify trends. Using this knowledge, utilities can help drive efficiency and better utilize their resources. This is something that must be done, too.
“Growth in smart grid is no longer a luxury for utilities—aging infrastructure, retiring personnel and the proliferation of distributed generation resourceS

severe weather events and other emergencies that could disrupt the grid.
One of the biggest issues with aging grids is the fact that anything can take them down at any given time. With analytics, these events can be better predicted and prepared for. Severe storms are more and more common, making grid outages more common.
“Analytics enable operators to monitor and report the exact times of service interruption at each system endpoint and use these results to measure improvement in restoration time from automated distribution processes,” . “This allows utilities to identify and restore outages more rapidly, without having to rely on customer inquiries.”
This means faster response times and faster repairs.

the load balance.
As grids age, properly balancing the power distribution can sometimes be a bit tricky. However, by using smart grid analytics, power can be distributed as needed in an effective manner. .
Transformer load management analytics can utilize smart-meter data and actual to continuously monitor and analyze distribution transformer loading levels and report on asset health, helping utilities make informed decisions to balance loads,”
