SurvalentONE GIS Import Software and Services
Utility control rooms rely on maps and spatial data to manage power distribution, deploy resources, and quickly restore power to areas affected by outages. Integrating geographical data and spatial relationships with SCADA, OMS, and DMS applications makes this information even more valuable.
By integrating GIS with ADMS applications, utilities can improve field crew safety, increase situational awareness and decision making, reduce operational costs, and quickly identify customers to notify about outages. Importing GIS data into the network model is also a necessary foundation for some advanced ADMS applications.
A network model is only as reliable as the data put in, however. GIS data must be clean and accurate to maximize its benefit but utilities frequently encounter inaccuracies and inconsistencies when importing their GIS data. Utilities need a solution that enables them to validate, import, manage, update, and use GIS data easily and with confidence.
SurvalentONE GIS Wizard is a comprehensive, user-friendly solution that enables utilities to import high quality spatial and non-spatial data into the SurvalentONE ADMS platform.
Robust data validation capabilities identify any potential errors or warnings to enable administrators to resolve them before they go live in the system. This is critical for utility control room operations, as any errors in the GIS data could interfere with import, map accuracy, or grid operations. Once the initial import is performed, utilities can use the Scheduler function to automate ongoing GIS import and validation activities.
Survalent also offers GIS Evaluation and Import Services to help utilities ensure their GIS data is accurate and imported correctly. A GIS Specialist will perform the initial import of the GIS feeder connectivity model, distribution transformers, service locations, and network model; configure graphics; provide troubleshooting advice, and train utility users for future imports.
