SmartD: Smart Meter Data Analytics Dashboard

Smart meters play an important role for the success of the future smart energy grid. It communicates real-time customers’ energy consumption to the utility company. Smart meters help the utility company to perform rich energy analytics such as customers’ consumption behavior analysis, theft detection, outage management, and conduct demand response events.

In this project, we will develop a dashboard that can be used by an operator to analyze smart meter data. This dashboard will provide functionalities needed in modern data analytics such as querying available data, filling in missing values, and forecasting future (or past-unavailable) consumption. The dashboard should be easy to understand, simple to use, but complete enough to support the operator for their everyday job. If needed, whenever possible, we will not implement machine learning algorithm or visualization tool from scratch. Instead, we will use public libraries available.
