- title: Synthetic Smart Meter Data - Open Source Community
- presenter: @gus_cnz
- description:
We’re kicking off 2024 with the launch of a new, global open data community. The community will specifically focus on unlocking access to synthetic data to accelerate the decarbonisation of global energy systems.
The core thesis of the community is simple. Access to raw smart meter data is essential to a rapid and successful energy transition. Yet little of this data is available for research and modelling purposes, largely because of consumer privacy protections. Synthetic data can solve this problem.
We want to liberate global access to smart meter data for research and innovation purposes, by creating an open source community of synthetic smart meter data contributors and users.
In this lightning talk we will introduce the community, it’s goals and some of the interesting, relevant projects that are occuring in parallel.
