Changing Electric Industry Changing Power Generation

ENGINEERING

ENGINEERING

Data Rich – but Information Poor Limited staff and high demand for information Reduce number of custom products Increase integrations between systems Information Data versus Operational Data

ENGINEERING

Specific to monitoring and operation of field devices and data Facilitate quicker response & restoration from outages Facilitate higher reliability and power quality Provide access to a greater amount of information Enable and support implementation of:◦ Large scale demand side management◦ Customer level solar/wind installation◦ Microgrids◦ Energy storage options

Facilitate research with universities

ENGINEERING

Similar in backend tools

Different in responsibilities

Must be collaborative

Schneider Electric: The Global Cyber Advisor by the Cyber Security Services Group, June 2015,Volume 45, Information Technology (IT) vs. Operational Technology (OT)

ENGINEERING

1. Provides a roadmap, or plan, for the vetting and implementation of technology for use on the electric distribution system

2. Added service value to the end use customer and/or operational and management excellence must be a component of a project

3. Allows DME to operate as a stand-alone entity during disasters and emergencies

ENGINEERING

Most of 20th Century – CIS is core to electric systems 1990s – ESRI and Miner & Miner 2014 – Responder OMS, Fiber Manager, ArcFM for Silverlight

Implemented 2015 – ArcGIS Online tools (Public Facing Outage Map) 21st Century – GIS and other Smart Grid systems become

central
