Abstract
As power generation gets more distributed, and electricity markets become more deregulated throughout the world, utilities have been trying to find a way to match consumption with generation. Recently, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has been deployed wide-spread including smart meters, and smart meters make two-way communication possible between the meter and the central system. They provide concrete information about customer electricity consumption and create a unique opportunity to investigate and understand customer consumption behavior much better than before. Integrating the needs of utilities and potential benefits to customers, the ultimate target of the studies in this dissertation is building a data-driven demand management system which is based on smart meter data analytics. Thus, we develop scalable methodologies of data analytics using data mining, machine learning techniques. The methodologies developed in this dissertation include learning customer consumption patterns, segmenting customers by relevant features, selecting the proper customers for various energy programs and implementing a data analytics system.
