Today’s energy consumers are turned off by fossil fuels and have turned their attention, and demand, to renewable and greener sources of energy like wind, solar, and biofuels. Traditional utilities are scrambling to provide renewable capacity on their own grids, and new companies, new technology, and new approaches to production and distribution are booming. Too many promising new renewable energy offerings end up as expensive experiments because developers fail to consider the real-time streams of data from their assets, infrastructure, and software. It’s not enough to simply ingest and store time series data. You need to know how to take action with that data, leveraging it for effective tracking, predictive maintenance, and ensuring that data-backed evidence supports the achievement of sustainability goals. This talk will use real customer use cases to go into how people are applying their time series data, and in turn time series databases.
