Problem:

Utility power outage data exists in multiple formats that require conversionsfor use by internal applications and by external stakeholders.

Impacts:

▪ Data conversions lead to inaccuracies and data latency that negatively impact critical decisions and communication with utilities and other stakeholders.

▪ Emergency Management Agencies are limited by the inability to overlay outage data with incident information.

Solution:

Standardized outage data is a “universal translator” that can address this

problem and drive decision-making on the quantity, type and prioritization of

emergency response resources. It enhances existing outage management

systems and practices.

The Outage Data Initiative Project:

Research to Solve a Utility Communications Problem


State Emergency Management Agencies (EMAs) need timely and accurate

utility outage data to help coordinate recovery efforts.

The Outage Data Initiative: Emergency Management

Disparate public outage maps

Lack of overlays of outage to other

incidents

Limited situational awareness

Delayed and degraded

response/recovery coordination

No Common Operating Picture

Direct access to outage

data enables authorized

agencies to more

accurately assess impacts

and expedite decision-

making on the quantity,

type and prioritization of

emergency response

resources.


Improve disaster preparation, resilience, response and recovery efforts by providing secure, near-real-time outage data with internal and external stakeholders during major events.

“In time of crisis, our communities and country count on us to be able to work together as a team. We all must commit to a common way of doing business.”

▪ Standards-based data model is familiar to many utilities for sharing data

between different applications

▪ Each application provides data defined by the model

▪ Each application consumes data in the same model-defined structure

▪ Eliminates point to point conversions of data from different applications

Outage Data Use Cases for exchanging data

Utilities can choose these use cases

UC 1: Within a utility (Detailed outage data)

UC 2: Between utilities (Generalized outage data)

UC 3: Between utilities and mutual aid organizations: Regional Power Outage Dashboard for enhanced situational awareness (Could be General or Detailed)

UC 4: With state emergency management agencies (Detailed outage data)

UC 5: With local Police/Fire/EMS (Detailed outage data)

UC 6: With media/public (Utility public outage map)

UC 7: With “Smart” municipalities/cities (Customization of UC 6)

UC 8: With other infrastructure providers (e.g. Cellular, Joint utility providers)

Potential Use Cases for Continued Research:

UC 9: Integration of Social Media for outage reporting to/from customers

UC 10: Integration of Augmented Reality, Drones, mobile platforms and WMS with GIS & OMS for damage assessment

UC 11: Extend outage messaging to AMI meters

UC 12: Improved Post-Storm Analysis “report card”, analysis of outage reporting codes

Outage Data Sharing: Vision with standardized data

CIMCIM = Outage Data using the Common

Information Model


Problem: State Emergency Management Agencies (EMAs) often do not receive utility outage data which is necessary to help recovery efforts. Their only sources of data are the public outage maps.

Request from a State Emergency Management Agency to Utilities

“Currently, [State EMA] accesses publicly available outage data through public websites. [State EMA] uses this information to inform emergency management operations; however, is limited by the inability to overlay outage data with incident information nor visualize a stateside outage picture.”

“This can delay and/or misinform executive understanding of incident impacts and lead to degraded and less effective response operations. Direct access to outage data will enable [State EMA] executives and emergency responders to more accurately assess impacts on [State] residents and drive decision-making on the quantity, type and prioritization of emergency response resources.”

Phase 2 Opportunities

Enabling Future Data Sharing Opportunities

One utility’s vision…

The goal: an application to provide enhanced damage assessment, outage restoration and resource management capabilities…and…

• Works via BYOD (tablet, laptop, smartphone)

• Is operating system-agnostic (Android, iOS, Windows)

• Can continue to function in a disconnected (no data connection) mode

• Can provide and receive real-time or near real-time data, including dynamic grid, tabular, photo, and graphical data outside the corporate firewall via temporary credentials provided to mutual assistance or other non-routine support personnel.

• Provides an simple interface for field users

• Can authenticate local and foreign crews and track crew location

• Can handle large volumes (5K+) of simultaneous users

(Energy is ESF-12)


▪ CIM based ODI enables utility outages to be

overlaid on Incident Management Systems

▪ Knowing the power status will assist in

developing the planning and compensatory

measures for each Operational Period.
