Includes updates of ongoing research, a meeting webcast calendar and list of planned 2022 deliverables.

Task: Underground Transmission Asset Management Analytics: Utility Needs Assessment
Task Description: Develop a questionnaire to seek feedback from utilities to understand underground system asset management issues, readily available data, which issues may be addressed/benefit from an analytical approach?
Update:

  • Questionnaire developed.
  • Initiating outreach to schedule 1-on-1 sessions to seek utility feedback.

Task: Value & Use of Readily Available Data
Task Description:

  • Work with utilities to collect readily available data – failures, in-service records, time series data (e.g., alarms, historical test records), defect data (maintenance records) etc.
  • Apply analytics to determine if the data can be transformed into a format that is useful for analysis & if so, what can we learn from the analysis results?
  • Use results of this task to scope out future year efforts to better understand component & sub-system performance, underground transmission risk assessment etc.
    Update:
  • Obtained demographic, SCADA alarm & work order data from a utility. Work underway to analyze data & develop metrics.
