Technological advancements and the exponential growth of information are reshaping business operations across numerous sectors, including the public sector. Government agencies are generating and archiving digital records at an accelerating pace, driven by the proliferation of mobile devices and applications, smart sensors, cloud computing solutions, and citizen-facing portals. As digital information becomes more voluminous and complex, the challenges associated with information management, processing, storage, security, and retention intensify. Emerging tools for capture, search, discovery, and analysis are enabling organizations to extract valuable insights from unstructured data. The government sector has reached a critical juncture where leaders recognize information as a strategic asset. To better serve citizens and meet mission requirements, governments must protect, leverage, and analyze both structured and unstructured information. As government leaders work to evolve into data-driven organizations, they are laying the groundwork to correlate dependencies across events, people, processes, and information.

High-value government solutions are being created through the integration of disruptive technologies:

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

Big Data serves as an intelligent industry solution, enabling governments to make better decisions by acting on patterns revealed through the analysis of large volumes of data—both related and unrelated, structured and unstructured.

However, achieving these goals requires more than just accumulating massive amounts 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," wrote 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 advanced this effort by establishing the National Big Data Research and Development Initiative in 2012. This initiative allocated over $200 million to maximize the potential of Big Data and the tools required to analyze it.

The challenges posed by Big Data are nearly as formidable as its promise is encouraging. Efficiently storing data is one significant challenge. With budgets remaining tight, agencies must minimize the cost per megabyte of storage while ensuring data remains easily accessible so users can retrieve it efficiently. The need to back up massive amounts of data further exacerbates this challenge.

Effectively analyzing data presents another major hurdle. Many agencies utilize commercial tools to sift through large datasets, identifying trends that improve operational efficiency. (A recent MeriTalk study 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 helping agencies meet their data analysis needs. For instance, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Computational Data Analytics Group has made its Piranha data analytics system available to other agencies. This system has helped medical researchers identify links that can alert doctors to aortic aneurysms before they occur. It is also used for routine tasks, such as sifting through resumes to match job candidates with hiring managers.

Connected devices are disrupting numerous industries, and the power utility sector is 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, stringent quarantine policies governing critical assets prevent power companies from fully utilizing these new IoT features offered by machine and controller vendors.
2. As the costs of solar and wind power microgrids continue to decline, utility companies will soon experience a drop in revenue from traditional power generation. To offset these losses, companies must aggressively pursue new revenue streams, such as home energy management as a service, energy storage as a service, and providing grid services for EV charging and peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading between homes, microgrids, and batteries. All these transactions require smart metering, smart grids, and secure trading facilitated by Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) like IOTA. Additionally, utilities are exploring opportunities to offer smart city services to municipal authorities.
3. For critical infrastructure such as dams, the International Committee of Large Dams (ICOLD) mandates real-time Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). This allows for early warning of potential collapses in dams, rock formations, or tunnels, enabling the timely 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 smart parking solutions.

Over the past three years, IoT engineering has undergone massive changes, driven primarily by tech giants Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. These industry leaders have invested billions of dollars to develop IoT platforms that are easier to manage and secure. Furthermore, IoT edge computing has gained significant momentum in both research and deployment as the primary method for practical IoT implementation. The advent of 5G promises to transform the IoT business landscape, leading to unprecedented levels of research funding. Consequently, it is essential for practicing engineers to understand the IoT platforms developed by major players like AWS, Google, and especially Microsoft.

However, none of these platforms offer a fully exhaustive or comprehensive solution for scalable IoT. Deploying smart metering across millions of homes requires additional technologies to secure the meters, radio networks, IoT management systems, and numerous other secured services. The strategy, pricing, and security of any IoT deployment must be optimal and acceptable. Given the interdisciplinary knowledge required, it is nearly impossible for any 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 on the challenges, risks, and practical approaches to deploying IoT for their next-generation power utility business.

Additionally, with scalable deployment, managing IoT services for thousands of sensors and connections is emerging as a distinct engineering discipline. This area, formerly known as managed IoT services, is experiencing rapid growth because the challenges of scalable IoT management are far greater than just building the infrastructure. This includes securing over-the-top firmware/software updates, managing sensor and system calibration, auto-diagnosing connection issues, identifying root causes of API failures, and tracking the hardware and service health of distributed systems.
