If you don’t remember your utility code, or haven’t had one established, just email; you must enter the regional entity and identify whether you allow additional studies before you can proceed off this page

This table is used to roughly identify customer sparseness or denseness based on customers per circuit miles

A suggestion was made that for business district circuits with single delivery points it made sense to include those circuits and customer counts into the urban percentages…sounds like a reasonable convention

Please note that the Inactive Accounts is checked if you don’t have a means to reduce your customer minutes interrupted and customer counts based on inactive accounts

This page is specific to what you do to identify major events for your regulatory authority…

Remember the benchmarking wizard is populated with all outages on a calendar basis and we perform segmentation of major events based on calendar day exceedance

This page tries to correlate regulatory reported numbers and the outages filtered out to the IEEE reported results…please report results that are consistent with the calendar period

Here we are trying to determine what may be excluded based on your regulatory authority’s major event definition…if one submittal covers multiple jurisdictions, please just report on the most significant contributor’s exclusions

Enter customer data, then daily data in the two sheets.

Now exclude any outages that began upstream of the substation

Now also remove outages that were maintenance or pre-arranged outages and enter the daily data results

Begin the calculation process

Indication of successful calculation!

Here’s what you see after it’s done.

Review the results here, as well as in the data validation worksheet.
