IBM Solution Architecture For Energy and Utilities Framework

Accelerating Solutions for Smarter Energy


The U.S. electric system, "the supreme engineering achievement

of the 20th century," is aging, inefficient, congested, and incapable

of meeting future energy needs, according to a recent U.S.

Department of Energy (DOE) report. Believed to be the solution

to modernize utilities around the world, a smart grid adds

communication and computer technology to electric networks,

ensuring cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable energy. GIS

is the information-management platform on which utilities rely for

crucial smart grid components such as data management,

analysis, vulnerability planning, risk analysis, mobile workforce

support, visualization, and operations awareness.

ESRI‘s ArcGIS® software is widely recognized for its strong role in

building and managing the digital asset management information

systems for electric power and gas transmission and distribution

networks as well as telecommunications systems worldwide. For

most of the world‘s utilities, ArcGIS provides the most

comprehensive inventory of the electrical distribution network

components and their spatial locations. The goal of a smart utility

is to have the capability to understand, manage, and predict the

state of the system from the worker‘s dashboard to the boardroom,

from the sensor to both the utility and the customers. ArcGIS

extends the IBM Solution Architecture For Energy and Utilities

Framework providing the tools, applications, workflows, analytics,

and information-integration capabilities needed to manage the

smarter utility.

IBM‘s SAFE Framework enables utilities to extract value from

information and leverage all data sources, especially those data

sources such as facility infrastructure, assets, customers, and

workers that are location-based ArcGIS authors, or creates, the

spatial information about utility assets (poles, pipes, wires,

transformers, duct banks, customers) and serves that information

to the enterprise. Within the infrastructure of SAFE, ArcGIS

drives core utility business applications dynamically, combining

data served from the GIS, SCADA, and customer systems with

other information from outside the utility such as traffic, weather

systems, or satellite imagery. Utilities use this combined

information for business applications, from visualizing a common

operating picture to inspection and maintenance to network

analysis and planning.

Integrate, manage and optimize utility systems, inclusive of assets, devices,

networks, servers, applications and

data, driving business agility and

intelligent network transformation.

Leverage a flexible software platform to reuse assets, lower total cost of

ownership (TCO), improve time-to-

market and deliver stronger bottom

line results.

“..ESRI has unique GIS

capabilities which extend

SAFE, not only geo-

enabling operations such

as asset management and

mobile-workforce

optimization, but also

fusing data from disparate

sources…” -- Bill Meehan,

Director of Utility Solutions,

ESRI.

Benefits of ESRI ArcGIS for utilities:

ArcGIS brings strong geo-analytics, information management, and

workforce enablement technology to the IBM SAFE Framework.

• ArcGIS allows utilities to visualize the electric, gas, and

communications systems and the relationship that exists

between them. A smarter utility uses GIS to monitor and express

the health of the energy system such as driving alerts and

visualizing sensors that fail to meet service levels.

• ArcGIS manages temporal information on the condition of

utility assets including data from sensors, instruments, field

workers, and other dynamic information sources.

• ArcGIS also helps utilities understand the relationship of

networks with surroundings. Because GIS can help identify

relationships between systems and the environment, it is

an essential tool for vulnerability prediction, risk assessment,

restoration, storm tracking, and security monitoring.

• ArcGIS provides a spatial context to the analytics and

metrics of a smart grid. With GIS, utilities can track

performance over time and provide a convenient means of

visualizing trends. A smart grid , with GIS is capable of providing

advanced grid performance analytics, tracking trends in equipment

performance and customer behavior, and recording key

performance indicators.

• ArcGIS communicates the condition of the network to

customers, management, and the utility workforce, providing a

dynamic, real-time common operational picture anytime, via

multiple delivery models.

ESRI and IBM: A Closer LookWithin the IBM SAFE Framework, specifically the services-

oriented architecture built upon IBM WebSphere software, ESRI

technology addresses four of the core functional needs of modern

utilities.

• Spatial Information Management . The digital ‗system-of-

record‘ of any utility information system is the geodatabase,

comprised of all location-dependent information, whether the

assets are fixed, move, or change condition. IBM Maximo ®

EAM software relies on ArcGIS Server for dynamic data

management and visualization. ESRI supports the

management of geodatabases in IBM DB2® and Informix®

government utilities throughout the world rely

on ESRI's GIS solutions to;

spatially enable their as-built environments

manage their operations

respond to emergencies

provide better services to constituents

ArcGIS extends the IBM Solution

Architecture For Energy and Utilities

Framework providing the tools, applications,

workflows, analytics, and information-

integration capabilities needed to manage

the smarter utility.

ESRI‘s ArcGIS® software is widely

recognized for its strong role in building and

managing the digital asset management

information systems for electric power and

gas transmission and distribution networks

as well as telecommunications systems

worldwide.

ArcGIS provides the most comprehensive

inventory of the electrical distribution network

components and their spatial locations. The

goal of a smart utility is to have the capability

to understand, manage, and predict the state

of the system from the worker‘s dashboard to

the boardroom, from the sensor to both the

utility and the customers.

Model, manage, and optimize

business processes resulting in

faster time to market, increased

customer satisfaction, and

higher productivity

SISCO has extensive experience in applying

technology to provide utilities with unique

solutions involving standards like IEC 61850

for wide area protection and ICCP-TASE.2 for

inter-control center communications and

power plant dispatching.

SISCO supports CIM based applications for

SCADA integration, condition based

maintenance and other smart grid systems.

SISCO has been actively participating in the

IEC standardization activities since the mid

1990s.

In addition to IBM, SISCO has strong

technology and business relationships with

other leading solution providers for utilities like

OSIsoft using the PI System.

SISCO‘s UIB and IBM WebSphere ESB

lowers the cost of integrating business and

operations functions by providing a model-

driven framework that leverages the

performance and flexibility of SOA while

helping handle the complexity of real-time

systems using the IEC Common Information

Model (CIM). Utilities can more easily

leverage their existing real-time systems to

improve their operations to provide faster

customer service, more profitable asset

utilization, more effective maintenance of

existing assets, and help build a smarter

planet.
