Data Governance and Analytics

Utility companies frequently encounter difficulties due to insufficient information about their assets. Much of the utility network infrastructure was installed decades ago, during a period when data recording was not a priority. To overcome this challenge, utilities can utilize newly collected data from smart meters and other modern sources. However, to fully harness the potential of this data, companies must develop a data-driven operation and an ecosystem that supports processes, systems, and personnel. This strategy will enable utilities to create models that accurately represent their current operations, rather than relying on outdated models from the past.

ADMS – Advisory for “As Operated” Model

To achieve seamless integration of various systems and data sources, utilities need a network model capable of real-time operation. Running ADMS applications requires a network model that incorporates GIS connectivity and real-time operational data. While most utilities use GIS to create network models, these models are typically static and do not accurately reflect the dynamic nature of the network's operational state. The GIS model represents the network as it is built, which is beneficial for inventory accounting and asset management. However, the ADMS model is an operational model that depicts the current state of the network and adjusts dynamically. Known as the "as operated" model, it includes both real-time and near-real-time aspects, providing a more accurate and responsive representation of the network's operational conditions.

DERMS for Electric Grid Operations

Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) are enterprise systems owned and operated by utility companies. Their primary function is to monitor, manage, coordinate, and optimize various distributed energy resources (DERs) owned by the utility, its customers, or third-party aggregators. DERMS play a crucial role in supporting grid operations and facilitating participation in energy markets. The electric industry is undergoing significant changes due to the increasing adoption of distributed energy resources, driven by state policies, incentives, and customer demand. Real-time DERMS provide the flexibility needed to meet load demands, but they also pose challenges to traditional service providers.

Expected Results:

Work Management

Effective work management is a holistic process that involves the entire organization, rather than being confined to specific departments. The goal is to identify necessary tasks early, plan and schedule them efficiently, execute them effectively, and document the results comprehensively. Integrating systems, data, and tools can significantly enhance productivity in this area.

Key Benefits:

Reduced Need for External Contractors:

By improving internal processes, reliance on external contractors can be minimized.

Decreased Emergency Work and Callouts:

Proactive planning and scheduling reduce the frequency of emergency interventions.

Properly Prioritized Work:

Ensuring tasks are prioritized correctly leads to more efficient workflow management.

Stabilized Inventory Spending:

Better planning and execution results in less volatile inventory expenditures.

GIS for Electric Grid & Gas Operations

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a vital tool for electric and gas utility companies, forming the foundation for effective asset management and regulatory compliance. Utilities use GIS for a variety of purposes, including managing field operations and conducting spatial analysis.

Key Uses of GIS:

Asset Management:

Track and manage utility assets efficiently.

Regulatory Compliance:

Ensure adherence to industry regulations.

Field Operations:

Optimize fieldwork and resource allocation.

Spatial Analysis:

Perform detailed spatial analysis for better decision-making.

To maximize the benefits of GIS technology, it is crucial to connect all stakeholders involved in the workflow. This includes field workers, engineers, managers, decision-makers, and clients. Web-based GIS applications facilitate this by centralizing data in one location, enabling seamless collaboration over the same geospatial dataset.

Centralized Data:

Keep all geospatial data in one accessible location.

Enhanced Collaboration:

Enable all stakeholders to work together using the same dataset.

Improved Decision-Making:

Provide accurate and up-to-date information for better decisions.

ERP for Utility Sector

The utility sector is undergoing digital transformation, driven by the need for ERP vendor integration. The combined IT/OT platform offers significant value by managing and distributing data across the entire energy value chain. Integrating customer data with operational grid data allows utilities to enhance overall system performance. This common platform's integrated intelligence supports a data-centric model, delivering value across both source-side and demand-side services for electric and gas utilities.

Key Benefits:

Enhanced Data Management:

Efficiently manage and distribute data across the energy value chain.

Improved System Performance:

Integrate customer and operational data to optimize system performance.

Data-Centric Model:

Promote a model that delivers value throughout utility services.

In today's rapidly evolving environment, data is increasingly available but challenging to process in real-time and extract value from. No single organization has been able to develop solutions and bring them to market quickly enough to meet customer needs. At Utility Consulting Services, our team has decades of expertise in optimizing the value of your applications portfolio, translating into tangible business value for your constituents.
