Advances in technologies and the increasing amount of information are transforming how business is conducted in many industries, including government. Government data generation and digital archiving rates are on the rise due to the rapid growth of mobile devices and applications, smart sensors and devices, cloud computing solutions, and citizen-facing portals. As digital information expands and becomes more complex, information management, processing, storage, security, and disposition become more complex as well. New capture, search, discovery, and analysis tools are helping organizations gain insights from their unstructured data. The government market is at a tipping point, realizing that information is a strategic asset, and government needs to protect, leverage, and analyze both structured and unstructured information to better serve and meet mission requirements. As government leaders strive to evolve data-driven organizations to successfully accomplish mission, they are laying the groundwork to correlate dependencies across events, people, processes, and information.

High-value government solutions will be created from a mashup of the most disruptive technologies:

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

Big Data is one of the intelligent industry solutions and allows government to make better decisions by taking action based on patterns revealed by analyzing large volumes of data — related and unrelated, structured and unstructured.

But accomplishing these feats takes 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," Tom Kalil and Fen Zhao of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy wrote in a post on the OSTP Blog.

The White House took a step toward helping agencies find these technologies when it established the National Big Data Research and Development Initiative in 2012. The initiative included more than $200 million to make the most of the explosion of Big Data and the tools needed to analyze it.

The challenges that Big Data poses are nearly as daunting as its promise is encouraging. Storing data efficiently is one of these challenges. As always, budgets are tight, so agencies must minimize the per-megabyte price of storage and keep the data within easy access so that users can get it when they want it and how they need it. Backing up massive quantities of data heightens the challenge.

Analyzing the data effectively is another major challenge. Many agencies employ commercial tools that enable them to sift through the mountains of data, spotting trends that can help them operate more efficiently. (A recent study by MeriTalk found that federal IT executives think Big Data could help agencies save more than $500 billion while also fulfilling mission objectives.).

Custom-developed Big Data tools also are allowing agencies to address the need to analyze their data. For example, 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’s also used for more mundane tasks, such as sifting through resumes to connect job candidates with hiring managers.

Connected device is disrupting many business, power utility being no exception. Power Utility companies are essentially faced with four challenges from growth of IoT

1. Machines, Controllers, HMI, SCADA systems are increasingly becoming cloud connected by the vendors who promise to offer more analytics and insight via their data for predictive and preventative maintenance. But quarantine policy of the critical assets means these new IoT features from the Machine/Controller Vendors can’t be utilized by the Power Companies
2. With the ever decreasing cost of solar and wind power microgrid, Utility companies will soon see declining revenue from power generation. To compensate for the lost revenue of power production, the company has to aggressively pursue new areas of revenues such as Energy management of Home as a service, Energy storage as a service, offering grid service for EV charging, grid service for P2P energy trading between the homes, home and microgrid, microgrid to microgrid, microgrid to battery, home to battery etc. All of this need to be facilitated via smart metering, smart grid and smart & secured transactions only possible via DLT ( distributed ledger technology) like IOTA. Also Utilities are exploring to offer some of the smart city services to the city authority
3. For critical infrastructure like dams, ICOLD ( International Committee Of Large Dams) want to see Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of the dams real time so that any impending danger of collapse of the dam or rock or tunnel can be informed in advance to vacate the people who may be affected
4. Also a new emerging area of revenue will be EV charging in Parking-How IoT can facilitate smart charging and smart parking?

Over the last three years, engineering in IoT has seen massive changes primarily driven by Microsoft, Google and Amazon. These large behemoths have invested billions of dollars to develop IoT platforms that are more easy to manage and secure. Also IoT edge has gained a lot of momentum in both research and deployment as only means for practical IoT implementation. 5G is promising to transform the business of IoT. This has led to an unprecedented large swath of new areas of research funding in IoT. This is why right now for any practicing engineer it is absolutely essential to understand IoT platforms developed for major players like AWS, Google and Specially Microsoft.

However, neither of the above platform offers exhaustive or a totally comprehensive solution for a scalable IoT. Just for Smart Metering to be deployed to millions of homes, additional technology to secure the smart meter, radio networks, IoT management technology and many other additional secured services will be required. Strategy, Price and Security of any IoT deployment must be optimal and acceptable. Given so much of interdisciplinary knowledge, it is almost difficult for any company to deploy a team which can meet all the requirements.

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

In addition, with scalable deployment, managing IoT services for thousands of sensors and connections are emerging as a separate engineering subject of research. This area , formally known as managed IoT services is experiencing rapid growth as challenges for scalable IoT are much bigger than building them. This includes security of over the top firmware/software update, managing calibration of the sensors and systems, auto-diagnosis of any connection issue, narrowing down on root cause of API failures, tracking the hardware and service health of the distributed system etc.
