1:10 PM Arizona Public Service Grid Explorer: Connecting Data, AI and Operations to Build the Next Generation of Operational Intelligence

As Arizona's largest energy provider, APS serves approximately 1.4 million customers across a grid spanning more than 38,000 miles of power lines. With customer demand continuing to grow, APS recorded an all-time peak of 9,053 MW in July 2026, reinforcing the need for greater visibility and intelligence across the distribution network.

In this session, APS will share how its Grid Explorer platform brings together high-frequency operational data, SCADA measurements and asset-level data to create a more unified view of the network. The session will explore how AI and machine learning can help identify anomalies, better understand system behaviour and anticipate future operational and infrastructure needs.

• How to bring together SCADA, sensor and asset data to create a more complete operational view
• Applying AI and machine learning to identify anomalies and emerging operational issues
• Improving asset visibility, forecasting and data-driven decision-making
• Using operational intelligence to anticipate changing demand and future infrastructure requirements
