Smart Grid
• Saves energy, reduces cost, and increases reliability
• Minimizes carbon footprint and reduces emissions
• Increasing focus on renewables• Peak load management• Reduces outages, improving
efficiency• Reduction of aggregate technical
and commercial (AT&C) losses• Consumerizing energy technology

Spatial Information – Smart Grid Enabler
Capital Expenditure: Smart-grid spending to hit about $200 billion by 2015
The potential of spatial information is unleashed
How do we leverage existing investments and reduce expenditures?

Smart Grid – Tsunami of Data
• Tsunami of data from various systems (smart meters, sensors…)
• Multiple independent systems
• Need to convert data into valuable information
• Establish single source of truth

Spatial Information Foundation for Smart Grid
• Complete, positionally accurate, connected, consistent, up-to-date geospatial information
• Traditional way of looking at spatial information needs to change

Example – Connectivity Issue
Topological property referring to the inter-relationships between geographical assets – graphical, logical
Wrong Connectivity - Industrial Consumers

Case Study – Network Planning & Operations
An award winning EGIS project helped a utility to reduce design cycle times and improve meter-to-cash collections
• Helped reduce aggregate technical and commercial losses from 48.1% to 18.5% • Direct savings derived out of this project: $323,000 in the first year

Case Study – Asset Management
Spatial data consolidation helped improve the asset management of a US-based Fortune 500 energy services company
• Centralized access to asset data resulting in increased productivity and reduced costs
• Estimated savings on a one call ticket management of $1,000,000 per year

Case Study – Outage Management
Integration of GIS with OMS, DMS and mobile applications enabled a major power utility to:
• Deploy field crews faster • Reduce restoration after supply complaints

Case Study – Demand Response
Developed a spatially enabled DR dashboard by integrating MDM, ERP and GIS systems for:
• Demand response monitoring• Load relief signals

Conclusion
• Huge investments to realize Smart Grid
• Explosion of information that is predominantly geospatial
• GIS has evolved over the years
• GIS system has the potential to be an enabler
• Utilities need an interoperable, accurate and intelligent spatial database
