Expectations
 Improved member
 Reduced cost
satisfaction
SAIDI
CAIDI
 Improved safety
 Enhanced reliability
4
Benefits
 Improved
member
satisfaction
 Faster restoration
 Monitor vacation
and remote sites
5
Benefits
 Enhanced reliability
 Improve
 SAIDI – duration of interruption during a specific period of time
 CAIDI – average time required to restore service
 Monitor system performance
SAIDI
Customer minutes of
interruption
Total number of customers
served
CAIDI
Customer minutes of
interruption
Total number of customers
interrupted
6
Benefits
 Reduced cost
 Automate processes to
locate faults and meter
outages
 Optimum dispatch of crews
 Path mapping using
automatic detection of
switching events
 Minimize training, IT
support and infrastructure
Real-time access to network
status
7
Benefits
 Improved safety
 Reduced patrolling
 Speeds time to
isolation
Localization improves
safety
8
Lot’s of Data, but What is the Answer?
Bayes’ Theorem:
Corollary:
Built on a sophisticated statistical inference
algorithm
9
Rapid Answer = Continuous Process
 Collects and processes real
time communication data
Compute outage
probabilities
 Computes probability of
outage at every point
 Fault location, localized to
AMI pings
nearest span
10
Identify areas of
ambiguity
Example Street View
Green nodes = Customer is powered
Red nodes =
Customer is without power
11
Visualize end point status
Before - Status of point,
using system hierarchy on
satellite land-base imagery
After - Outage status of
point, using system
hierarchy on satellite landbase imagery
12
Restoration Impacts
 SAIDI – CAIDI
 Fast automatic detection - less than 190 seconds
 Nested outages - less than 60 seconds automatically
 AMI
 Automatic system-wide monitoring, and path mapping
 Performance monitoring
 Satisfaction
 Automatic notification to employees, utility board and
affected members

Demo
“Automatically display outages, identifies fault
locations and verify restorations in record time”

Summary - Fault Detection & Localization
 Automatically locates, displays and resolves outages in record
time
 Benefits
 Increases member satisfaction
 Enhances reliability
 Reduces costs
 Improves safety
 Access
 Unified access through desktop and remote devices
