The Outage Data Initiative For Smart and Resilient

The Outage Data Initiative: For Smart and Resilient Cities Standardizing power outage reporting for utilities, emergency management and mutual aid Scott D. Sternfeld, P. E. Senior Technical Leader SSternfeld@epri. com © 2017 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Outage Data Initiative Why? § To improve disaster response, recovery and awareness efforts by providing secure, real-time operational information, coordinated 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. ” – National Infrastructure Management System (NIMS) EPRI 2016 Outage Data Initiative Report: 3002007928 2 © 2017 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Outage Data Initiative Why? Request from State Agency to Utilities Currently, [State Agency] accesses publicly available outage data through public websites. [State Agency] 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 Agency] 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. 3 © 2017 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc.

ODI Use Cases Standardization Visualization Optimization Standardization of data exchange: UC 1: Within a utility (Detailed outage data) UC 2: Between utilities (Generalized outage data) UC 3: With emergency management agencies (More accurate, granular outage data) UC 4: With media/public (Public outage map) UC 5: With other infrastructure providers (e. g. Cellular, Joint utility providers) UC 6: With end-point devices (e. g. AMI meters, street lights and traffic lights) Future opportunities Visualization: UC 7: Integration of Social Media for outage reporting to / from customers UC 8: Integration of Augmented Reality, Drones, mobile platforms and WMS with GIS & OMS for damage assessment Optimization: UC 9: Analysis of outage reporting codes UC 10: Standardized outage reporting UC 11: Improved Post-Storm Analysis “report card” 8 © 2017 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc.

The Outage Data Initiative 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, i. OS, 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 extremely simple interface for field users • Can authenticate local and foreign crews and track crew location • Can handle large volumes (5 K+) of simultaneous users 13 © 2017 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc.
