data


Brabant Water: ArcFM UT Web


§ Objectives • Migration : All data migrated • System open and adaptable • IT integration (CRM) big success • Standard COTS application software

(ArcFM UT – no specific developments): First System update cycle without problems passed

§ Experiences • Extensive user training reflects in excellent data quality • Inclusion of users in design decisions • Keep „time boxes“ for unforseen tasks • Involve and benefit from AED-SICAD and ESRI experts

Conclusions – ArcFM UT Implementation


§ Brabant Water is currently on ArcFM UT V9.3.1

§ Brabant Water is currently planning the migration to ArcFM UT V10.0.1

§ Brabant Water asked and will receive from AED-SICAD a number of change requests as product enhancements • Automatic determination of cut-off clients • Default values configuration • Configuration of sort order for numbers in text format

Current Situation


Company Profile § Energy utility company

§ Member of the RWE Group since 2003

§ More than 605.000 points of delivery

§ Mission = provide reliable and complex services which correspond to the needs of customers

§ Sold more than 3,2 TWh in 2010

§ Average number of employees = 1.575

Shareholders National Property Fund: 51 % RWE: 49 %

Východoslovenská Energetika a.s. (VSE)

§ Distribution area 16 221 km2

§ HV Lines: 1 274 km § MV Lines: 8 276 km § LV Lines:11 160 km § MV / LV Distribution

stations: 5 108


1. Technical architecture (HW,SW) 2. Data Model (ArcFM UT+VSE) configuration 3. Migration tools MV, HV = ArcGEO

v Specific tool for each data source v DGN+DB à UT MDB à UT SDE

4. Data migration = VSE v Preparing data v Using / extending migration tools v Correcting / post-processing data

MV migration = 04/2009 – 09/2009 HV migration = 02/2010 – 05/2010

Project Phase I: GIS and Data


Data Migration – Example MV

SAP: Source of organizational

data

Source of technical data

9 sources of geographic data

Automated tool for Generating Station ISP

(using tabular data only)


MV + elevation MV + aerial imaging basemap

MV + 1:10 000

basemap

Data Migration – Result - MV


Estimation:

§ 3 500 km cables

§ 10 500 km overhead lines

§ Overview:

• Start = 07/2009 • Duration = 5 years • Accuracy = submetric 3rd class • Internal and external forces

§ Results:

Low Voltage (0.4 kV): Digitalization / Data Collection


GIS became a master source of the distribution network of VSE:

§ Geographic data

§ Detailed technical records of electricity distribution devices (HV, MV, LV)

§ Data update process (distribution network) = managed by the GIS department

Project Phase II: GIS Integration


GIS – SCADA (offline export)

> Initial & Incremental scheduled export

> Input = MV data (divided into tiles)

> Output = DXF+CSV files (SCADA FTP upload)

> In operation since 9/2008


GIS – SAP PM, ETRA, Maximo (online integration)

> TR (Transformer) – MV/LV

> Create TR in GIS

> Update TR in ETRA


> All HV and MV objects

> Data handling in GIS („image“ to SAP PM)

> SAP ID back to GIS


> All HV and MV objects

> Data handling in GIS („image“ to Maximo)

> State of equipment back to GIS

> 6/2010 (pilot), since 6/2011 (sequential roll-out)

Maximo

ETRA

SAP PM

GIS (user edits)

External systems


§ Customer data (source SAP IS-U)

§ Service point (based on the current grid configuration) + coordinates of customer (source GIS)

§ Consumption data mirrored to the GIS

§ In operation since 9/2009

GIS – SAP IS-U (Online Integration + Scheduled „Pull“ Export)


n Ownership information of equipment (source SAP FI-AA)

n Asset accounting number mirrored to GIS

n All MV objects

n Much faster report generation for Regulatory Authority

n In operation since 3/2010

GIS – SAP FI-AA Integration


Prepared environment for implementation of a very important project = HIFFI (MAXIMO - grid maintenance management)

§ Storing data in a single „primary“ system (GIS)

§ Reducing data management workload

§ Removing old isolated legacy applications for technical data management

§ Reducing number of SAP clients in VSE

§ Solving online communication of SAP IS-U with GIS

§ Much faster reports for regulatory authority

GIS – SAP Integration: Benefits


GIS – Network Calculation System (Offline Export)

n All HV, MV, LV objects

n Off-line export directly from GIS

n In operation since 11/2011


GIS Integration at VSE - Evolution


GIS / IT Landscape


§ External systems require new attributes / objects / relations • VSE DM changes drive the process – make projects sequential

• VSE data model: DM v1 à v22d

• Large coordination effort

§ Stringent deployment plan & coordination of projects is essential

• Up to six projects running simultaneously at VSE

• Dev AG à Dev VSE à Test à Prod à Bugfix (Test)

• Align activities with 3rd parties – impl., testing, deployment

Project Aspects


§ Upgrade to ArcFM UT V10 □ ArcFM UT V10.0.1

§ GIS data providing for external use (outside company) □ Portal solution

§ ArcGIS Schematics v10 □ Implement solution for generating diagrams (othogonal schemes of

distribution power network for all voltage levels)

VSE – Future Plans
