Turn AMI Data Firehoses into
Reliable Grid Intelligence.
Stop losing deep engineering focus, capacity planning hours, and analytical flow to manually parsing 500,000-row 15-minute AMI interval CSVs, compiling monthly IEEE 1366 reliability indices (SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI), verifying GIS transformer phase mappings, cataloging DER solar interconnection queues, and hunting missing SCADA time-series gaps. SageDoer provides specialized Smart Grid Virtual Assistants supervised by a free dedicated Project Manager who ensures your telemetry datasets stay cleansed, models stay verified, and regulatory filings deliver on schedule.

A High-Precision Remote Utility Analytics Office Without Management Drag
Whether you lead distribution planning for an investor-owned utility (IOU), optimize DERMS algorithms for an energy storage startup, or model microgrids for municipal co-ops, raw data wrangling kills engineering velocity. We absorb the operational grind.
Single Point of Contact
Communicate data cleaning criteria, feeder modeling parameters, and filing deadlines solely with your dedicated Project Manager on Slack, Teams, or email. They brief your analytics assistants with zero micromanagement.
Centralised Time Tracking
Gain transparent, screenshot-verified activity logs detailing exact work performed on AMI data parsing, GIS phase mapping, and regulatory report charts. Pay strictly for productive operational minutes.
Zero Recruitment Drag
Skip posting job ads, filtering 200+ generic applicants, or training unvetted freelancers who cannot tell the difference between real and reactive power (kVA vs. kW). We supply pre-vetted, software-fluent utility data assistants in 24 to 48 hours.
0% Platform Surcharges
Freelance marketplaces add 20% to 40% in hidden client fees, currency conversion markups, and monthly fees. SageDoer operates with 0% platform markups and zero monthly membership fees.
Seamless Storm-Event Backup
If your assigned data assistant takes leave right as severe weather triggers extensive outage reporting and post-event MED filings, your dedicated PM immediately activates an internally trained backup with your exact SOPs.
Consolidated Engineering Invoicing
Receive clean weekly summaries of datasets scrubbed, reliability models updated, GIS records reconciled, and unified USD invoices tailored for your engineering department accounting and client billing.
100% Industry-Standard Smart Grid & Utility Tech Stack
Your virtual assistant integrates directly into your meter data management systems (MDMS), time-series historians, power modeling suites, and geospatial GIS tools on day one.

What Your Smart Grid Virtual Assistant Handles Every Day
Keep your mental bandwidth dedicated to high-impact capital planning, hosting capacity analysis, feeder reconfiguration, and executive rate case testimony. We absorb the repetitive data engineering grind.
AMI Interval Ingestion & Gap Cleansing
- Ingesting and standardizing high-frequency 15-minute and hourly AMI smart meter load profile exports
- Running automated Python/Pandas scripts to identify dropped reads, negative values, and timestamp gaps
- Applying VEE (Validation, Editing, and Estimation) rules according to utility regulatory standards
- Formatting clean, ready-to-model load profiles for OpenDSS, CYME, or Synergi Electric
Voltage Fluctuations & CVR Audits
- Cross-referencing secondary circuit smart meter voltage readings against ANSI C84.1 Range A/B limits
- Auditing Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) and Volt-VAR Optimization (VVO) efficiency datasets
- Highlighting persistent low-voltage sag or high-voltage swell pockets across distribution feeders
- Compiling feeder voltage profile charts for capacitor bank and voltage regulator tap adjustments
IEEE 1366 Indices & OMS Audits
- Calculating monthly and annual SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, and MAIFI metrics according to IEEE 1366 standards
- Extracting Outage Management System (OMS) logs to categorize storm vs. blue-sky equipment failures
- Calculating TMED (Major Event Day threshold) values using the IEEE 2.5 Beta statistical methodology
- Formatting public utility commission (PUC/PSC) annual reliability compliance tables and exhibits
DER Interconnection & Solar Backfeed
- Tracking distributed energy resource (DER) interconnection study queues (rooftop PV, EV chargers, BESS)
- Auditing daytime minimum load (DML) against solar nameplate ratings to detect backfeed risks
- Cataloging smart inverter settings (IEEE 1547-2018 Volt-Watt and Volt-VAR curves)
- Updating public hosting capacity maps and substation reverse power relay margins
GIS Network & Transformer Loading
- Reconciling meter-to-transformer connectivity inside ArcGIS Utility Network or QGIS databases
- Aggregating peak consumer kW loads to identify overloaded distribution service transformers (kVA)
- Detecting phase identification errors (Phase A/B/C misassignments) using AMI voltage correlation
- Maintaining updated conductor thermal rating logs and line replacement candidate registries
SCADA PI Data & Regulatory Artifacts
- Auditing OSIsoft PI System / AVEVA telemetry streams for flatlined tags, sensor dropouts, and noise
- Compiling NERC CIP compliance audit logs, control room access change tickets, and asset inventory evidence
- Extracting hourly RTU and recloser cycle counts to flag aging breaker mechanisms
- Generating weekly executive reliability KPI dashboards in Power BI, Tableau, or Google Looker

"We monitor 42 distribution feeders with high solar penetration. Parsing millions of rows of 15-minute interval smart meter data in Python to identify backfeed voltage spikes was taking 20 hours every week. Our SageDoer VA cleans and structures our AMI datasets and flags low-voltage violations before our Monday morning planning syncs."
Trevor Caldwell, PE
Lead Grid Modernization Engineer, Lone Star Power Analytics
"Managing commercial solar and battery storage interconnection queues was burying our consulting staff. Samrat Pal and our virtual assistant audit transformer loading margins, cross-check secondary GIS connectivity, and populate OpenDSS load profile decks. Exceptional engineering discipline."
Mateo Arismendi
Principal DER Consultant, WestGrid Energy Consulting
"I previously tried hiring data contractors on Upwork, but none of them understood VEE rules, meter multipliers, or how to pull head-end telemetry from Itron and Landis+Gyr. SageDoer provided someone with authentic utility data competence and zero platform markups."
Deon Kendrick
AMI Data Operations Manager, Keystone Energy Partners
"Compiling our monthly IEEE 1366 SAIDI and SAIFI metrics from OMS feeds and classifying Major Event Days (MEDs) used to steal a week of our engineering staff's time every month. Our SageDoer assistant calculates the 2.5-Beta thresholds and formats our PUC compliance reports flawlessly."
