Avoid unplanned outages and react quickly and efficiently to disturbances or potential problems. Satisfy regulatory mandates and improve customer satisfaction with real-time information and fast outage restoration. As the grid system becomes increasingly complex due to the integration of distributed energy resources and storage, these challenges are presenting opportunities to rethink the world of power distribution management. When integrated into the distribution grid, smart meters, demand response, and distributed storage and generation, in combination with increased grid automation, are inundating utility systems with data that needs to be intelligently managed and leveraged for effective distribution grid operation. At the same time, utilities are facing growing regulatory and customer pressure to maximize grid efficiency and provide reliable service at all times. Integrated DER management, monitoring, forecasting, optimization and control.

GE’s Network Outage Management is a Trouble Call and Outage Management System that forms an integral part of the e-terradistribution suite of applications. It allows operators to manage unscheduled and planned network outages from within a unified operating environment that integrates Switching Operations, SCADA, Automated Metering Data, Crew Monitoring and Real-Time Network Analysis. From the initial notification of a fault through prediction, crew assignment and restoration switching to return-to-normal, the dispatcher is able to work from a single set of network views. All the necessary information for each phase of the job is clearly presented in a way that allows the dispatcher to manage each outage efficiently while also staying aware of other network activity.
