The Cortana Intelligence Suite provides tools for analyzing data from IoT devices, sensors, and operational systems to help optimize energy usage and production. It offers machine learning, analytics, and predictive capabilities through an integrated set of services that can be easily deployed and scaled on Microsoft's cloud platform. This allows energy companies to gain insights from their data to improve demand forecasting, asset management, and other functions without upfront costs or maintaining their own IT infrastructure.

2. The Internet of Things (IoT), alternative
energy sources, and big data have all come
together to generate enormous prospects in
the utility and energy sectors. At the same
time, the utility and energy sectors have
seen consumption level out as customers
seek improved ways to regulate their energy
use.

History of energy production, energy consumption | IN VIETNAM
- Prior to 1954, the French explored hydropower projects in order to harness
hydropower - irrigation for the goal of colonial exploitation.

- The Thac Ba hydroelectric project began construction on August 19, 1964.
With Soviet Union assistance, the first large-scale hydroelectric plant with an
initial capacity of 108MW was launched.

Current energy sources in Vietnam | IN VIETNAM
• Hydropower now accounts for the greatest proportion of all renewable energy
sources, followed by wind and biomass. Solar energy, biogas, and waste-to-energy
technologies are all progressing slowly, while geothermal and tidal power are still in
their infancy.
• The government intends to expand renewable energy generation from 58 billion kWh
in 2015 to 101 billion kWh in 2020 and 186 billion kWh in 2030.

8. History of energy production, energy consumption | In the world
Over the last several centuries, the availability of energy has altered the path of human
history. Not only are we unlocking new energy sources - initially fossil fuels, then nuclear,
hydroelectricity, and now various renewable technologies - but we are also increasing our
capacity for production and consumption.

11. Energy sources in today

12. 12
Solar
• Japan, the United States, and a few
Western European nations were early
adopters of solar energy (since the 1950s
in the last century). As of 2002, Japan has
produced around 520,000 kW of power
using solar cells at an average cost of
800,000 yen/kW, which was ten times
lower than it was a decade earlier.

13. 13
Energy from the ocean
• This is a very abundant source of energy,
particularly in a nation with a vast marine
area. Waves and tides are utilised to
create power by spinning turbines. The
produced power can be utilised directly
for marine equipment such as lighthouses,
buoys, wharfs, navigation systems, and so
on.

14. 14
Wind
• Wind energy is regarded as a highly
plentiful, abundant, and pervasive green
energy source. Wind power may be used
to turn turbines and create energy. For
example, in the Netherlands, the United
Kingdom, or the United States.

15. 15
Geothermal
• This is a source of energy found deep
beneath the islands and volcanoes. This
energy source is generated by pulling hot
water from hundreds of metres down and
using it to power electric turbines.

16. 16
Global energy demand
• In 2021, Vietnam has given a short and long-term perspective on the development
scenarios of Vietnam's energy industry to 2050. Vietnam's future economic and
population development requirements, as well as its energy requirements, are
predicted to rise.
• In the basic scenario, it is estimated that imported fuel will account for 70% of total
energy supply by 2050, at a cost of $53 billion USD. In the context of today's high
and difficult-to-control global fuel costs, limiting fuel imports implies lowering

17. II.Renewable energy
technologies

33. Renewable energy technologies | Pros and Cons
i
• Renewable energy is still costly and difficult to
get.
• Some green energy projects occupy large areas
of land that might be used to raise crops.
BUT
• To minimise exhaustion, biomass and geothermal
energy require efficient management.
• If renewable energy becomes more popular, the
electrical transmission and distribution systems must
be modified and handled more actively
• The use of household power generators (for
example, rooftop solar panels) relieves load
on electricity distribution networks.
• Renewables will never run out since nature
replenishes them quicker than we consume them
• Green power is becoming more available to
the common customer.
• Renewables are typically not harmful to the
environment.

42. Cortana Intelligence Suite | Advantages
COST
There are no upfront costs or
COGS (Cost of Goods Sold)
component costs associated.
Meaning there is no need to
invest in hardware, software,
and/or IT maintenance. This
translates into a substantial
reduction in business risk.
SCALABILITY
Servers for computing and/or
storage can be deployed and
scaled on an as-needed basis
and can be done quickly and
easily. This effects the cost
efficiency advantage of a
cloud-based solution with a
pay-for-what-is-used policy.
GROWTH
Features, components, and
capabilities are consistently
being introduced and evolved
in Cortana Intelligence Suite.
As such, they can easily and
quickly be implemented in a
cloud-based solution.

Learn more on our customer story
Business need
 eSmart wanted to deploy a cloud-based solution that enables
predicting the propensity of an overload situation on any
given substation of the grid.
 In particular, eSmart wanted to identify substations that are
likely to overload within the next hour, so an immediate
action could be taken to avoid or resolve that situation.
Solution
 To achieve the business need, an accurate and fast performing
prediction is needed which requires implementation of three
predictive models.
 Long term model that enables forecasting of power consumption on each
substation during the next few weeks or months
 Short term model that enables prediction of overload situation on a given
substation during the next hour
 Temperature model that provides forecasting of future temperature over
multiple scenarios
