Smart meters, often considered the original smart grid device, have been used by utilities seeking benefits around billing, outage, and workforce considerations. In recent years, data analytics have emerged to provide additional value-adds in areas such as grid optimization, customer experience (CX), distributed energy resources (DER) integration, and more.
