Outage Detection for the Smart Grid
UtilityIQ® Outage Detection System (UtilityIQ ODS) enables rapid identification of outages and restoration activities and eliminates guesswork by correlating outage and restoration to connectivity patterns. Whether you distribute electricity, gas or water services, you can realize new efficiencies, improve service delivery and automate outage and restoration scoping through implementation of the Silver Spring Smart Energy Platform.
UtilityIQ ODS provides advance functionality with simplified, visual presentation of outage and restoration. It is suitable for a large-scale, multi-application network for large investor-owned utilities or can be delivered as a turn-key outage management system for small municipal utilities. Either way, UtilityIQ ODS provides a foundation for smart grid deployment while maintaining a high ROI.
Leverage meter data logs for accurate outage/restoration accounting and reporting, and track and resolve events by time, type, and duration, increasing accuracy so crews are dispatched with pin-point precision, eliminating guesswork in the field and in the command center.
