2026 Event Schedule

Accurate distribution-system topology has become foundational for modern grid-edge operations, yet many utilities still rely on incomplete or outdated connectivity models. This session presents a rigorous AMI-based topology estimation approach that infers transformer–meter and feeder–meter relationships with high precision using data most utilities already have. After outlining the core algorithmic method, the session moves through a set of real-world vignettes that illustrate how this technique has uncovered transformer wiring errors, corrected feeder associations, and revealed unexpected emergent insights at multiple utilities. Attendees will see how AMI data—already widely deployed—can become an operationally decisive source of truth for connectivity, power-quality context, and future analytics.
