Ecologic Analytics Technology Enhances Outage Management For Utilities

Renew Grid, Monday 14 September 2009 - 11:13:09

Meter data management system (MDMS) provider Ecologic Analytics has released its Enhanced Outage Management (EOM) module, which the company says intelligently leverages advanced metering assets for quickly detecting power losses.

Ecologic Analytics says EOM interprets last-gasp and power-up notifications and identifies the distinct characteristics displayed by sustained outage events. Using its smart scoping capability, EOM also determines which meters to proactively ping in order to precisely confirm the full extent of the outage.

Once the impacted service points are confirmed, EOM delivers transformer-level information about "real" outages to a utility's outage management system (OMS). EOM continuously checks the OMS to determine which affected transformers have already been recognized as "out" or "restored," the company explains.

EOM is now available with the current version of the Ecologic MDMS.
