We live in an environment where an increasing number of everyday objects are becoming network enabled and generating copious amounts of data. These networked objects are forming an Internet of Things (IoT) where the growth of data for analysis and discovery is accelerating at a rate that will prohibit efficient processing by current hardware and software. With the increasing use of smart grid technologies, the electrical energy sector is not immune to these big data problems. While there has been extensive research and industry development in big data software and hardware products for processing large volumes of data, the smart grid IoT is creating new problems that must be solved.
