Challenge
The customer needed a process to capture details about storm events that led to outages and equipment damage to reduce costs associated with power restoration efforts. Being able to review and compare how past storms impacted the electrical grid would allow for better preparation for future storm events.
Solution
EfficiencyLab created a GIS mapping solution that captured data from a variety of weather data services. The solution creates recordings of storm details that exceed thresholds set by users regarding wind speed, precipitation amounts, and other important indicators. These recordings can be played back and analyzed in a map interface to help create effective restoration plans.
Outcome
The customizable mapping system records storm events for future analysis and allows users to create optimized restoration plans based on known costs and lessons learned from previous storms and outage events.
