Speaker:Nikita Shamgunov, CTO and co-founder, MemSQL
As the dangers of global climate change multiply, utility companies seek methods to reduce carbon emissions, such as integrating renewable and sustainable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. Renewable energy not only has the power to improve climate conditions, it also encourages economic growth. By combining advances in sensor technology with machine learning algorithms and environmental data, utility companies can monitor energy sources in real time to make faster decisions and speed innovation.
In this session, Nikita Shamgunov, CTO and co-founder of MemSQL, will conduct a live demonstration based on real-time data from 2 million sensors on 197,000 wind turbines installed on wind farms around the world. This Internet of Things (IoT) simulation explores the ways utility companies can integrate new data pipelines into established infrastructure. Attendees will learn how to deploy this breakthrough technology composed of Apache Kafka, a real-time message queue; Streamliner, an integrated Apache Spark solution; MemSQL Ops, a cluster management and monitoring interface; and a set of simulated data producers written in Python. By applying machine learning to analyze millions of data points in real time, the data pipeline predicts and visualizes health of wind farms at global scale. This architecture propels innovation in the energy industry and is replicable across other IoT applications including smart cities, connected cars, and digital healthcare.
