    Abstract

    There is a significant distance (and many steps) between raw, granular data gathered in business and industrial processes, and information which is meaningful to human decision-makers.  The pathway from high quality data to high quality expression of information has many potential points of failure.  Some warning signs of business problems may be detected in the granular data, however the first derivative (moving towards “information”) may reveal more meaningful insight.  Also, data quality testing of raw, granular data may not be sufficient to evaluate the quality and efficacy of summary information or strategic information.  

    Decision-makers often function in a cognitive bubble.  The culture inside that bubble includes paradigms and vocabulary which the knowledge worker must understand when packaging strategic information to support executive decision-making.

    Abstract

    The main objective of this presentation is discussing applications of data centric methodologies for wind energy operation analysis and performance improvements. Due to uncertain nature of wind as a source of energy, predicting available electricity requires detailed and accurate performance modelling. Availability of accurate operational data is critical for monitoring overall electrical generation performance, equipment health, operational excellence and grid integration.

    Challenges and opportunities for ongoing industry wide digitalization initiatives, as well as research into analytics techniques such as statistical and AI/ML modelling will be discussed. Importance of standardized data models and metadata as the core foundation of digitalization initiatives for consistent AI/ML modelling, will be also included in the presentation.

    Presenter


    Alan Rezazadeh, has been working for about three decades in Alberta as a data analytics and governance specialist with focus on energy sector and academia research projects. His recent research engagements include oil and gas emission reduction, wind energy and electrical generation production optimization. Alan earned a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Regina, with a focus on applied mathematics and numerical analysis.
