Understanding the exact fault location in the post-event analysis is the key to improving the accuracy of outage management. Unfortunately, the fault location is not generally documented well during the restoration process, and therefore it creates a big challenge for post-event analysis. By utilizing various data source systems, including outage management system (OMS) data, asset geospatial information system (GIS) data, and vehicle location data, in this presentation we will cover methods to more accurately pinpoint the outage location and therefore create additional insights for distribution operation and performance teams during the post-event analysis.
