1 Ben Mallen, Trimble Energy Business Area Director Trimble Enterprise Solutions for Energy Utilities

2 Key Customer Groups in the Utilities sector Electric Utilities Gas Utilities District Heating Multi-Utilities Contracting companies Service Providers Today we are serving over 300 utility customers globally with our industry focused enterprise solutions Our technology provides intelligent modeling and management of different types of distribution networks and comprehensive tools to enhance utilities core processes

3 Enterprise Solution Distribution network planning Long-term planning & investment mgmt. Planning Quality assurance & as-built documentation Survey and Construction Construction Maintenance Maintenance & inspection mgmt. Asset analysis & reporting Operations Customer service support Distribution and Outage Management 3

4 Role of the Cloud, Role of the Device Where does the Cloud fit? Can critical infrastructure rely on it? BYOD: Here to stay Rugged field devices Cloud or behind firewall? 4 [Date] Presentor s name

5 Role of Geospatial Technologies Industry is diverse on requirements HaaS, SaaS, PaaS Back office Integration is KEY Maintaining asset information Underground vs above ground Advanced field tools Drive towards the 3D utility Damage Assessment/disaster response Allow for specific Business Intelligence analysis 3D Asset Management 3D As-Build Documentation Network Environment Visualization Automated analysis e.g. broken asset features, encroaching vegetation, line sag 5

6 Investment & Asset Management Support Trimble s integrated support for investment management, network planning, reliability analysis and maintenance management has been received very well by the utility customers Customers have achieved 5% better efficiency in network investments, 50% savings in outage costs 80% savings in maintenance by optimizing investment projects and maintenance works and by increasing automation in their operations process. Network Investment Management (NIM) provides tools to optimize network investment projects based calculated impact on supply reliability and estimated efficiency of project execution

7 Investment & Asset Management - Follow Up and Reporting NIM has project and yearly based network key figures collected in one place Follow up and reporting can be done based on end user criteria e.g. Project based Based on project statuses Possibility to build up network asset dashboard for management 7

8 Case Study Caruna Trimble NIS System change schedule Decision: May 2014 Training: Sept 2014-Jan 2015 System production: Feb Took 8 months vs. normally 2 years Targets of system change Better control of investment programs Improved quality of reports on assets Managing the combined effect of maintenance and investments Moving functions currently in several systems to one IT cost savings Enabling the change of the whole asset management process and modes of operations A vital project for Caruna for ensuring efficient asset management and the ramp-up of investment levels Trimble NIS functionality Electrical network data and spatial user interface Electrical calculations and analysis tools for electrical network RNA Reliability-based network analysis Planning investment projects Planning maintenance projects Managing annual investment and maintenance programs Calculating regulatory value of network-related assets 8

9 Natural Gas Distribution Changing regulatory environment driven by industry events Data needs to be traceable, verifiable and defensible PHMSA driving regulation DIMP reporting requirements Driven by new standards barcoding 9

10 About A flexible, cloud-based solution for robust natural gas distribution mobile data collection Quickly and accurately capture field data for construction, inspection and maintenance Intuitive, customizable digital forms and templates Easy-to-use and deploy across crews and contractors Meet regulatory requirements with collected compliance data that is traceable, verifiable and defensible Supports compliance data collection and ASTM F2897 barcode standards

11 Thanks.

12 Network Investment Management (NIM) Trimble NIS 12

13 Trimble NIS Investments - Benefits All necessary information available in one system Targets & budgets (dynamically configurable) Projects & plans Evaluated and actual key figures History values Efficient data management Key figures produced by planning applications are updated automatically when plans are edited (during normal network planning tasks) Possibility to update actual key figures over ERP interface Multi-user support (confer Excel) You don t have to guess you know

14 Trimble NIS/DMS structure & integrations CIS Customer data Trimble NIS Network documentation Trimble DMS Switching planning SCADA Switching statuses Fault values Estimated consumption data City services Maps Estate data Planning and construction Investment management Asset management Maintenance management Network model Network supervision Outage management Task management Outage communication Smart metering Power Status Notifications Hourly measurements Power quality data 14

15 Tekla Interface services Interoperability interface services Easy and efficient integration between Tekla Solutions and other IT systems Integration targets: Document management systems ERP systems Customer information systems etc. Industry standard and programming interfaces and readymade custom integrations to common products Technologies utilized: Web Service OGC WMS/WFS XML COM etc. Trimble applications Other applications 15

16 Examples of Trimble NIS/DMS interfaces

17 Challenges in investment management Needed information/data is distributed to several separate locations Excel files Network information system ERP Still some money left for project x? Investment budget for 201x? What investment projects/plans should be implemented? Does project have other influences than costs? Influences in RV & RAV? Project statuses? Actual cost vs. evaluated cost? RV & RAV of whole network? Updating of data is difficult/inefficient Data is depending on the data stored into other system(s) and Normally data is maintained manually in each systems 17

18 Trimble NIS NIM - What Investment planning Investment follow-up Investment after-care Targets & Budgets Prioritization & selection of projects based on estimated key figures Influences in RV and RAV!!! Economical key figures construction costs, material costs losses Technical key figures customers in cable NW, reliability indicators Project statuses Monitoring and comparison Budget vs. actual cost Evaluated key figures vs. actual key figures Calculation of network value RV for whole network RAV for whole network Reports and analysis (internal & external) 18

19 Trimble NIM - How Trimble NIM for network investment management Trimble NIS network planning applications 19

20 Trimble NIM Hierarchy of data management Project types: Cabling New connections Budgets Management Projects: Project 1 1 n Project n Project 1 1 n Project n Network plans: Plan(s) Plan(s) Plan(s) Plan(s) ERP Trimble NIS applications CPP RNA PSA TSA = Estimated key figures = Realized key figures 20
