Why is GIS so Important to Smart Grid?Features of GIS together with Smart Grid

• Manages the grid data

- Wires/devices

- Telco

- Integrates the grid parts

- Server based

• Provides analysis capabilities

- RF planning (AMI)

- Transformer loading/reliability studies

- Risk analysis

- ArcGIS provides rich analytics

Why is GIS so Important to Smart Grid?Features of GIS together with Smart Grid

• Workforce optimization

- Access to knowledge in the field

- Data capture

- Work management

- Server based mobile solution

- Deployed on popular platforms

- iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile

• Operational Awareness

- Visualize the grid data

- Must know the health of the system

- Real time view of the grid

- Simple to use web API’s

Enterprise GIS and Smart GridFoundational technology

• GIS will not

- Control and monitor

- Process sensor data

- Manage Smart Meter data

• Smart Grid will not

- Collect, process on-going network data transactions

- Provide visualization – particularly spatial

- Provide an integration framework for corporate data

Enterprise GIS and Smart GridFoundational technology

• GIS will

- Model the T&D system (like it does now)

- Provide network data to Smart Grid (like it does for OMS)

- Receive real time data from Smart Grid

- Provide an information framework for corporate decision making (of which Smart information is a part)

- Visualize all aspects of the Smart Meter deployment

What Else?

• Spatially enable smart meters and MDM

• Using GIS for AMI rollout

• Smart Grid Asset Management

• Use of a GIS Server and SOA for integration

• Management of renewable distributed resources

Utility Challenges – the Data

The Deadly Backlog

How Complete is the Data?

• Secondary network system

- Large, older cities

- Downtown networks

- Spot network systems

• Secondary electric

- Overhead

- Underground

- Services

• Structures
