PragmaLINE V6.5 Enhancements Power Analysis Integration: Overview

A Loosely coupled approach

• CYME Gateway import, validation and synchronization of Utility data (GIS, CIS SCADA, engineering, protection system)

• CYMDIST server engineering analysis, simulation, load allocation and power functions

• OMS Web Service requests for Load Flow, Short Circuit Analysis and Fault Location called from PragmaSWITCH, PragmaVIEW & PragmaGEO

• Outputs in tabular format and/or against a geospatial background

Benefits

• Data validation performed throughout the process by FME script during initial GIS tracing and then by CYME Import tool.

• All calculations involve simulation, load allocation & state estimation.

• Impacts of ad hoc switching operations can be verified prior to execution.

• Enables identification of potentially hazardous conditions, highlight potential inconsistencies in data or operational decisions before execution by the staff on the ground.

Taking Outage Analysis to the Next Level for advanced resolution and greater predictability of events.

AS-BUILT MODEL IMPORT

• CYME Gateway access to relevant data in GIS, CIS and other supporting systems (including SCADA, engineering, MDMS, Data Historian, protection system definitions, etc.)

• Background synchronization of model with these sources done by CYME – instead of OMS.

• Ensures CYME-verified model import data of higher accuracy

LOAD / IMPEDENCE MODEL

• CYME builds the operational model using the nominal and/or maximum values for the AS-BUILT network. OMS does not have to maintain the engineering data.

• Future improvements will cause analysis requests to pass current demand information (e.g. SCADA AMPs) for a real-time load allocation / state estimation.

MODEL VALIDATION & GENERATION

• Data validation is performed throughout the process, starting with the FME script during the initial tracing of the GIS data, the CYME Import tool when importing the GML file into the CYME database, etc.

• Another important aspect of this data preparation step is the harmonization of common identifiers and mapping to the PragmaLINE data model.

• This includes:

• Feeder-based "network" files

• Substation / Feeder breaker labeling (S or B)

• Unique object naming identification

• Normal switch statuses • Line and Cable

Configuration • Bus Bar (modeled as

JSON standard for GIS import


PragmaGEO







14

PragmaLINE V6.5 Enhancements JSON for GIS

15

JSON and OMS

• As an alternative to XML, the JSON format is a JavaScript Object Notation standard that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects like ... electrical circuits in the GIS

• The JSON format can be used for representing Circuit Data. One JSON object by circuit file (Device, conductor, Structure, Graphical object, Geometry objects such as Annotation, Line, Polygon and Symbol)

Standards

• JSON is currently described by two competing standards, RFC 7159 and ECMA-404 (RFC including grammar, some semantics and security).

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) - a text-based, lightweight, data interchange format - can be used to share GIS data between ArcGIS and other systems.

PragmaLINE V6.5 Enhancements JSON for GIS

16

Benefits

Simplicity: simpler than SGML or XML Extensibility: less tag & attribute complexity since JSON is NOT extensible Interoperability: same as XML Openness: at least as open as XML Readability: JSON is much easier for human to read than XML Processing: JSON is processed more easily than XML because its structure is simpler. Structure: JSON structures are based on arrays and records (what data is made of) so no need to separate strcuture from data, as in XML. Internationalization: Like XML, JSON uses Unicode.

JSON represents significant evolution in terms of readability, flexibility and expandability of GIS data import for OMS

PragmaLINE V6.5 Enhancements Integration of CGI’s Citizen Interaction Platform

35

Public Safety

Public safety is always the highest priority in service restoration but communications with public officials, first responders, emergency managers and customers is also critically important

Empowering Citizens

Safety messages and restoration progress reports help residents make informed decisions about their well being and property.

Smart Citizen Interactions

Reaching citizens directly on their smart phone enables Smart Citizen Interactions. For example: • Days prior: to communicate about safety and to help people prepare. • During: to advise on the daily locations of equipment charging tents and generators; to

explain how to report outages and damaged equipment. • Days after: explain historic amount of damage and efforts taken to rebuild.

A CGI offering for closer communications with clients through registration of their mobile devices via a company portal and integration of two-way communications with OMS to receive trouble calls and damage reports and send outage-related notifications and call backs.

Damage report created with the Mobile Application can be viewed on the mobile and on the Dispatcher’s station

COARSE Capture mode

• Assessment performed during 1st patrol dispatch, to rapidly obtain a quantitative estimate of damages for the “big picture”.

• It counts the quantities of poles down, wires down, transformers down, etc. – noting the position of protective devices (line reclosers, fuses), physical damages, tree work needed) and capturing GPS coordinates of each occurrence.

DETAILED Capture mode

• Once the COARSE reports have been prioritized with other information, the detailed assessment of critical or high-priority damages can be initiated.

• For this purpose, Integrated Damage Assessment provides for the capture of extended damage details (c.f. next foil)

Benefits

• This dual option approach facilitates a flexible workflow for Damage Patrols. Coarse mode is used to rapidly build the needed “big picture” from which to establish a restoration strategy. Detailed assessment mode complements this by providing extensive descriptions of the damages

DETAILED Capture mode

Situational Awareness for the Mobile User and the Dispatcher

List nearby Assets (online)

• Provide information on nearby non-electrical assets (e.g. GIS assets not in OMS model: substation details, telecom devices, towers, etc.).

Benefits

• Information on non-electrical assets, used in conjunction with other nearby damages (on electrical assets, outages, abnormal devices), will help further define and orchestrate the restoration / repair work, as well as refine the ETR & resource estimates

Enriches the capabilities of the Basic Mode • List nearby outages

(online only) And details • List nearby Abnormal devices

(online only) And details • List nearby damage (online only)

Storm Configuration Defaults



Benefits

• Using pre-configured defaults makes the data gathering process much faster and much safer (in terms of data accuracy and integrity), enabling more reliable field reporting, richer problem determination and damage extent information, that collectively speed up outage resolution

Configurable defaults for Damage Assessment tasks

Different parameter values will feed the calculations, based on the type of storm and its intensity, allowing various defaults to be set:

• Default time to repair damage type

• Default material and quantity to repair damage type

• Default crews and quantity to repair damage type

• Priority customers / Critical infrastructure weighting factor



Tracking Damage Patrols in OMS

Benefits

¹Edison Electric Institute - Before and After the Storm

Example of SaS Analytics, using OMS and Social Media Information

Potential Benefits

• Ensure accurate media coverage • Keep abreast of emerging and

anticipated issues • Better pinpoint outages in real-time

from sources such as Twitter

The Situation

• During storms, utilities received numerous tweets from followers but have no means of leveraging the information for better problem determination and enhancement of the damage assessment process.

CGI’s Offering

• This OMS feature is designed to help improve outage detection and localization, provide faster problem determination, more accurate characterization of damage extents and blackout centers, ensure more granular outage details and better estimates of restoration times.

PragmaLINE Roadmap: a Peek into the Future Tweets for Damage


Features

• Accept customer Tweets with Utility-defined observation codes (#wiredown, #powerout, etc.) and photos to speed up damage information collection & assessment of the impacts to electrical assets

Benefits

• Gather faster and richer problem determination and damage extent information, to speed up outage resolution and time forecasting.

• Improve outage detection, provide faster problem determination, more accurate characterization of damage extents and identify blackout centers

CGI is exploring social media feed from GNIP – now a Twitter company


Generalized Web Access



• OMS for Gas


58

PragmaLINE Roadmap: a Peek into the Future Generalized Web Access

59

Features envisioned

Benefits

• Facilitates sharing of timely and “actionable” operational information

• Improve restoration efforts in a decentralized operation mode – such as during major storms

• Web-enablement of additional modules for decentralized and mobile operations: PragmaSWITCH plans and orders and 2-way Outage management display and input


Features

• Some two-way interoperability is already available in OMS, using PragmaCALL and PragmaWEB in a browser.

• However, there is a need to generalize all aspects of OMS modules by providing bi-directional access to all functions including switching and storm incident management, utilizing common WEB technology

A WEB-based UI would enable administration and monitoring of OMS systems from a centralized location as well as enable decentralized operations (which certain Utilities consider mandatory for managing major storms)



Map Transparency Layer


• OMS for Gas


60

• Currently, mapping functionality in

PragmaGEO is limited to the

Microsoft MapPoint software and

does not leverage other

commercial alternatives.

• An Open PragmaGEO module

requires replacing the specific

MapPoint interface by a

transparent drawing layer created

in an OpenLayer that can

consume geographic and feature

data from Web Mapping Services

(WMS).

PragmaLINE Roadmap: a Peek into the Future Objectives of the Transparency Layer

61

Benefits

• The objective is to allow use of PragmaGEO with commercial Web Mapping Services like:

• Esri WMS • Google Maps • Bing Maps • & possibly others –

• This will provide functionality such as satellite Imagery, or integrating the specific GIS land base and features of the client’s system.

This enhancement will enhance user access to Utility-specific land base and feature information


PragmaLINE Roadmap: a Peek into the Future The Transparent Drawing Layer

• PragmaGEO will create an independent mapping layer infrastructure, working with

Navteq, and removing MapPoint services.

• Thereafter, PragmaGEO will develop support for adding other 3rd party web-mapping

services–such as Google Earth, Bing Maps or Esri. Incorporation of Esri in dispatcher

and mobile modules will be made using Esri’s ArcGIS Runtime SDK

62

Initial replacement services developed with Navteq include: • Base Map layer • Geo coding (search by address) • Reverse geo coding (nearest address

from latitude/longitude) • Routing (display route on a map) • Directions (readable direction from a

route).

PragmaGEO is structured to enable binding to commercial mapping software through open APIs and Adapters

Esri


PragmaLINE Roadmap: a Peek into the Future The PragmaGEO Roadmap


Revamping the underlying architecture to accommodate integration of Web Map Systems will be taking place “behind the scenes”. This will comprise functions like: Geo coding (search by address); Reverse geo coding (nearest address from latitude/longitude); Routing (display route on a map) and Directions (readeable direction from a route). In the meantime, the offering will remain based upon MapPoint. INTERNAL UPDATE: NOT VISIBLE TO CLIENTS.

6.5

6.6

Esri’s ArcGIS Runtime SDK is planned to enable offline operations and data synchronization.

Roadmap

The transparency layer will implement basic Web Map functions. Because the mapping services will be offered in connected mode only, PragmaGEO mobile will have an option to switch to an embedded instance of MapPoint, during offline mode – awaiting the evolution of Esri’s SDK for ArcGIS Runtime.

The transparency layer will implement additional Web Map services equivalent to the original MapPoint product, through integration of 3rd party commercial mapping systems, using open APIs

NOTE: This web-based feature will first work in connected mode, only because of the current unavailability of disconnected mode in the ArcGIS Esri Runtime SDK




Esri ArcGIS Runtime Integration

• OMS for GaS


64

• Business collaboration between CGI and Esri Canada, and alignment

of our Canadian business plan and objectives are designed to develop

and grow our common business funnel.

• The partnership currently focuses on three of the most progressive

sectors of geospatial growth:

• Esri is collaborating with CGI Utility Solutions & Services to integrate

the best of Esri technology into the PragmaSMART offering.

Why Integrate ArcGIS Runtime?

• Provide the Dispatcher with the same geocentric view of assets as the crews.

• Enable access to additional Esri functions that provide enhanced field use of maps and asset properties

Partnership Milestones

• Joint Engagement on Services began in August 2013

• Technology transfer workshops took place to assist with the development of a prototype application

• GIS access targets PragmaLINE and PragmaCAD, including mobiles.

• Entered in private beta of ArcGIS Runtime SDK for MS .NET Platforms

• Currently, the SDK does not offer offline and data synchronization capabilities. However, access to Esri data and functionality is possible using a web-connected session.

• CGI’s implementation is evolving at Esri's own pace and will eventually offer offline processing when the SDK makes it available.

Developed in partnership with

SUPPORT SLIDES


• The purpose of including materials tracking as part of damage

assessment is to capture additional information to initiate and speed up

the eventual repair of the damaged assets.

• This will be supported through multiple enhancements.

– Initially, the application will assume pre-configured default materials (with associated

default repair times) based upon the reported damage type. Those default values

will be fully configurable.

– In a subsequent phase, additional, specific materials may be entered by the field

worker into the application. In other words, the user will be able to override the

defaults etc.
