Advancements in technology and the exponential growth of data are reshaping business operations across various sectors, including the public sector. Government data generation and digital archiving rates are accelerating due to the rapid proliferation of mobile devices and applications, smart sensors, cloud computing solutions, and citizen-facing portals. As digital information expands and becomes more complex, the management, processing, storage, security, and disposition of this data also grow more intricate. New capture, search, discovery, and analysis tools are enabling organizations to extract valuable insights from unstructured data. The government sector is reaching a tipping point, recognizing information as a strategic asset that must be protected, leveraged, and analyzed—both structured and unstructured—to better serve missions and meet requirements. As government leaders strive to evolve into data-driven organizations, they are laying the groundwork to correlate dependencies across events, people, processes, and information.

High-value government solutions will emerge from a combination of disruptive technologies:

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

Big Data represents an intelligent industry solution that enables government entities 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 far more than simply accumulating massive quantities of data. As Tom Kalil and Fen Zhao of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy wrote on the OSTP Blog, "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."

In 2012, the White House took a significant step toward helping agencies identify these technologies by establishing the National Big Data Research and Development Initiative. This initiative allocated over $200 million to maximize the potential of the Big Data explosion and the tools needed to analyze it.

The challenges posed by Big Data are nearly as daunting as its promise is encouraging. Efficient data storage is one such challenge. With budgets always tight, agencies must minimize the per-megabyte cost of storage while keeping data easily accessible so users can retrieve it when and how they need it. Backing up massive quantities of data further heightens this challenge.

Effective data analysis presents another major hurdle. Many agencies use commercial tools to sift through vast amounts of data, identifying trends that help them operate more efficiently. A recent study by MeriTalk revealed 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 allowing agencies to address their analytical 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 find links that can alert doctors to aortic aneurysms before they occur. It is also used for more routine tasks, such as sifting through resumes to connect job candidates with hiring managers.

Connected devices are disrupting numerous industries, with the power utility sector being no exception. Power utility companies currently confront four primary challenges arising from the proliferation 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, due to strict quarantine policies governing critical assets, power companies often cannot leverage these new IoT features provided by machine and controller vendors.
2. As the cost of solar and wind power microgrids continues to decline, utility companies face shrinking revenue from traditional power generation. To offset this loss, companies must aggressively pursue new revenue streams, such as Energy Management as a Service for homes, Energy Storage as a Service, grid services for EV charging, grid services for peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading between homes, microgrids, and batteries, among others. Facilitating these transactions requires smart metering, smart grids, and secure transactions enabled by Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) such as IOTA. Furthermore, utilities are exploring the provision of smart city services to municipal authorities.
3. For critical infrastructure like dams, ICOLD (International Committee of Large Dams) mandates real-time Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). This enables early warning of potential collapses in dams, rock faces, or tunnels, allowing time to evacuate affected populations.
4. An emerging revenue opportunity lies in EV charging within parking facilities—specifically, how IoT can facilitate smart charging and intelligent parking solutions.

Over the past three years, IoT engineering has undergone massive transformations, primarily driven by tech giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. These industry leaders have invested billions into developing IoT platforms that are easier to manage and more secure. IoT edge computing has gained significant momentum in both research and deployment as the primary method for practical IoT implementation. Additionally, 5G promises to revolutionize the IoT business landscape. Consequently, there is unprecedented funding for new areas of IoT research. For any practicing engineer, it is essential to understand the IoT platforms developed for major players like AWS, Google, and especially Microsoft.

However, none of these major platforms offer an exhaustive or fully comprehensive solution for scalable IoT. Deploying smart meters to millions of homes, for instance, requires additional technologies to secure the meters, radio networks, IoT management tools, and numerous other secured services. The strategy, cost, and security of any IoT deployment must be optimal and acceptable. Given the interdisciplinary nature of this knowledge, it is nearly impossible for any single company to assemble a team capable of meeting all requirements independently.

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 next-generation power utility business models.

Furthermore, scalable deployment has made managing IoT services for thousands of sensors and connections an emerging engineering research subject. Formerly known as managed IoT services, this field is experiencing rapid growth because the challenges of scalable IoT management are significantly greater than simply building the systems. This includes securing over-the-top firmware/software updates, managing sensor and system calibration, auto-diagnosing connection issues, identifying the root cause of API failures, and tracking the hardware and service health of distributed systems.
