VISDOM Publications

VISDOM is a web-based platform and architecture for load analysis and management. VISDOM enables rich exploration of load data in conjunction with geographic, demographic, weather, survey, and other data sources.

By incorporating standard statistical methods as well as newly developed and published algorithms, VISDOM allows a deeper understanding of load data from unconventional angles. VISDOM’s data exploration capabilities can yield insights for program design and targeting and can assist with program measurement and evaluation.

The goal of VISDOM is to enable researchers and practitioners to more easily interpret and learn from demand side data and to apply those insights to improving demand side management for the smart grid. Learn more about VISDOM here.
