Key Responsibilities
Grid Operations & Control Center Expertise
• Act as a trusted subject matter expert for transmission and distribution operations, including real time grid monitoring, switching activities, outage coordination, restoration planning, and control room procedures.
• Provide practical insight into how operators manage voltage conditions, equipment loading, alarms, contingencies, and coordination with neighboring utilities and market operators.
Operational Systems & Data Assessment
• Evaluate operational and enterprise systems across EMS, GMS, SCADA, DMS/ADMS, OMS, historians, asset platforms, market systems, and field technologies.
• Identify where system boundaries, data latency, or organizational handoffs limit operational awareness or delay effective decision making.
AI & Advanced Analytics Use Case Development
• Identify operational scenarios where AI and advanced analytics can support grid operations, including:
o Alarm prioritization and reduction of nuisance alarms
o Detection of abnormal grid behavior
o Correlation of events across transmission, distribution, and field systems
o Improved awareness during outages, restorations, and abnormal operating conditions
o Visibility into emerging asset and reliability risks
Architecture & Data Strategy Collaboration
• Work with operations, OT, IT, and data teams to define secure and reliable data sharing patterns that support near real time operational insight without disrupting control system integrity.
• Translate operational requirements into analytics and AI needs, including data quality expectations, contextual tagging, event streams, model inputs, operator review points, and explainability considerations.
GE ETERRA GMS / EMS Advisory
• Provide guidance on how GE ETERRA GMS and EMS are typically configured and used within utility control centers.
• Advise on integration touchpoints, operational workflows, and data considerations relevant to reliability monitoring, visualization, analysis, and control functions.
