The Challenge
In a storm the control room sequences hundreds of feeders from paper damage assessments while customers get a restoration time that slips three times. Outage, meter, weather and crew data sit in four systems.
How It Works
- Reads outage and control system events, meter last-gasp signals, weather feeds and rosters.
- Clusters events into damage points and ranks feeders by customers restored per crew hour.
- Pushes the restoration sequence to the storm room and a defendable time to the contact centre.
What It Removes
- Paper damage assessment forms from the field
- Manual feeder-by-feeder restoration sequencing
- Restoration times set by a round of phone calls
Input Data RequirementsOutage and control system events, meter last-gasp data, weather feeds, crew and mutual aid rosters, material stock, network connectivity model
Output FormatLive restoration sequence by feeder with crew assignment, a defendable restoration time per customer group, and a post-event regulator report
“During a storm we sequence the network off a whiteboard and give customers a restoration time we cannot defend”
