About You•Who has AMI deployed?

•Who plans to or, is deploying AMI?

• Can your GIS support the deployment?

•Will your Network Model support advanced functionality (tracing, loading, predicting)?

Using your AMI/AMR Data

• Monitor system to see problems and opportunities

• Notify and inform stakeholders better and easier

• Leverage todays Outage Management Systems

• Usage and load reports on any system elements

• Reduce outages and restoration times

• Save money thru efficient loading

Recently completed Esri’s Utility Network Management Training

• Deep technical dive into the advanced capabilities of Esri’s Utility Network Model (creation, migration, and maintenance of the new models).

• mPower is pursuing certification as Utility Network Specialist.

• Next for mPower, Esri GeoConX in Atlanta, GA

Model Types and Terminology

• Parent Child – id based, (Windmil)

• Topological – water/ww (flow and line direction)

• Geometric Network – common electric model

• Utility Network – Esri (hybrid future of modeling)

Building, migrating, repairing and

synchronizing maps and models is a must!

• So you can do things like:

Use Braintree Sytem Reliabilty Reports/Scenarios

Our latest release: eReliability Sync

• Map your utility’s outage codes to APPA’s outage codes• Synchronize substations and feeders with APPA eReliability Tracker• Upload events from your OMS directly to APPA’s eReliability Tracker • Utilize all of APPA’s online tools, without manual data entry!

Start or enhance your maps and models during AMI deployment

• Connect and model all the way to meters

Advanced Load Analysis

Connectivity Model Check Results• Shows all elements that are properly connect

• Identifies problems i.e., Disconnected, Loops, Tracing Issues, etc.• 5669 elements don’t trace to substation• 195 only trace downstream (no or bad parent)• 187 don’t trace

• Can be displayed in Map or GIS for easy analysis and correction

• Black lines are problem primary lines

• Blue triangles are problem transformers
