Utilities collect a significant amount of data from their operational systems. If utilities want to extract business value from this data, it needs to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8a0bba8b-it_ot-solutions-for-utilities.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accessible and high-quality<\/a>. This requires combining disparate datasets, analyzing this data and processing it into actionable intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics are critical for maintenance and help keep costs down and increase efficiency. Analytics and AI allow utilities to predict what assets need maintenance or will potentially fail and react quickly to prevent losing capacity. With AI analytics, utilities can plan for outages and increase the efficiency of their turnaround. Data science and analytics are considered some of the most important skills in the industry, second only to skill in traditional engineering.<\/p>\n<p>As utilities and customers increasingly adopt distributed energy resources and smart meters, utilities employ digital mapping and analytics to allocate resources appropriately. All initiatives should correlate with increasing operational excellence and plant efficiency. For maintenance, predictive analytics is key to keeping costs down and improving efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>At TRC, we tackle the challenges facing the electric utility industry. We can drive insights in various areas, from asset maintenance and performance management to profiling and network planning and customer usage. We drive insights by leveraging our technology partners, analytic platforms and expertise in utility networks and operations.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"col-lg-4 columns js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                                        <div class=\"wysiwyg__links js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                        <div class=\"wysiwyg__links__top \">\n                                                        <h4>Related Services<\/h4>\n                                                                                    <ul class=\"js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                                                                <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/markets\/power-and-utilities\/electric-utilities\/\" target=\"_self\">Electric Utilities<\/a><\/li>\n                                                                <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/services\/electrical-power\/\" target=\"_self\">Electrical and Power<\/a><\/li>\n                                                                <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/markets\/power-and-utilities\/\" target=\"_self\">Power and Utilities<\/a><\/li>\n                                                                <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/services\/electrical-power\/power-distribution-engineering\/\" target=\"_self\">Power Distribution Engineering<\/a><\/li>\n                                                                <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/services\/electrical-power\/protection-and-controls\/\" target=\"_self\">Protection and Controls<\/a><\/li>\n                                                                <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/services\/intelligent-grid-solutions\/\" target=\"_self\">Smart Grid Solutions<\/a><\/li>\n                                                                <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/services\/electrical-power\/substations\/\" target=\"_self\">Substations<\/a><\/li>\n                                                                <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/services\/electrical-power\/transmission-engineering\/\" target=\"_self\">Transmission Engineering<\/a><\/li>\n                                                            <\/ul>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                            <div class=\"wysiwyg__links__bottom\">\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/services\" target=\"_self\">View All Services<\/a>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                                                                <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg section-padding bg-white-fog\">\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\n        \n        <div class=\"row\">\n                        <div class=\"col-lg-12\">\n                                    <div class=\"wysiwyg__columns-text-top\">\n                        <div class=\"row js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                            <div class=\"col-lg-8 js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                                <div class=\"option-links\">\n                                    <ul>\n                                                                            <\/ul>\n                                <\/div>\n                                <h2>Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)<\/h2>\n                                \n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"col-lg-4\">\n                                                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-lg-4 \">\n                                                        <div class=\"js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                                <p>Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an example of IT\/OT convergence.
