Overall, data and insights empower utility companies to adopt a proactive and adaptive approach to systems thinking, enabling them to better understand, manage and optimize the complex interactions within the utility system for improved efficiency, reliability and customer satisfaction. Gathering data from various sources within the utility system, such as smart meters, sensors and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, provides a comprehensive understanding of system dynamics, performance and interactions. Utility Logical Data Model (ULDM) helps in integrating data from different sources, which allows utility companies to create a holistic view of the entire system.
