Abstract: This talk will focus on different databases used for modern Artificial Intelligence solutions in Electric Power Systems. We will investigate various database structures, some being derivatives of the relational (SQL) database, and some examples of noSQL databases for processing of very large datasets. We will discuss the reasons for a variety of database designs and strategies used to improve querying performance. Every database example will be paired with an example of a real-life application of machine learning to an electric power system problem.

The IRS’ definition of R&D and industry’s definition of R&D differ. A large majority of R&D performed in the US is done in the private sector, rather than done by universities and the work that qualifies for R&D Tax Credits is much broader (and more lucrative) than you would think. The program that pays for this R&D work is the Research Tax Credit, which is administered by the IRS. This presentation, R&D Tax Credits for Engineers and Scientists, is a high level basic primer that will teach you what type of R&D work that you already do qualifies for the credit and the general steps required to present your work successfully to the IRS.
