Applying Smart Metering and Smart Grid to Improve Outage Management – Case Studies and Lessons Learned

Outage management and reliability benefits have been part of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure business case for most utilities. Are utilities realizing these benefits? How do utilities achieve them? What are the lessons learned? Should you expect the same level of benefits if you are planning an AMI system now? Can the benefits be further enhanced by exploiting the synergy with Smart Grid implementations such as advanced Distribution Automation and Distribution Management System applications? The webinar discusses these questions by looking into various elements of a successful implementation through utility case studies, technical and integration designs, data availability and data quality, operation process alignment, and change management.
