Overview• Establishing the optimal analytics and visualisation methodologies to support grid planning and operation
for a single network as well as multiple networks for comparison
• Achieving speed of visualisation when dealing with unstructured data sets from multiple sources across the grid
• Optimising visualisation interactivity to ensure data can be fully explored and anomalies identifiedeffectively
• Ensuring effective interworking of data science and grid engineering colleagues to maximise exploration effectiveness
• Improving the visualisation tool to ensure its robustness for additional applications and key performance indicators
• Reviewing the range of visualisation tools and open-source libraries on the market and how they can be adapted for grid analytics

Improving tools for new apps and KPIs
• The “Open” in Open Grid Systems
• Approach has always been to integrate using international and de-facto standards
• CIM / IEC 61970 for electrical network integration
• Appropriate extensions as required
• RFC 7946 / GeoJSON for overlay and features
• Allows ready integration of third-party data
• JSON, XML and OData (in OASIS standards process) to make data available via GridIM
• Data available directly via RSS/XML for integration, or consumption via Excel, SharePoint, etc
• Active Directory for authentication
• Integrate authentication for ready access to data and minimise the maintenance burden

Tools and Libraries Available• Usual mapping libraries from Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc
• An unlikely source? Uber
• https://eng.uber.com/data-viz-intel/
• deck.gl: https://uber.github.io/deck.gl/
• https://d3js.org / https://vega.github.io/vega/
• Open Grid Systems now making native libraries available
• Allows custom apps focussed to specific markets using the mature GridIM integration backend
