1 Great River Energy GIS John Auel United Services Group

2 Background Bachelor of Science at the University of Wisconsin, Steven s Point Area of Emphasis Cartography Currently employed at United Services Group for the past 12 years. GIS Technician II

3 Great River Energy 28 Member Cooperatives Second largest in the state of Minnesota Serve 645,000 members/consumers or 1.7 million people Own 12 power plants Own and operate 4,600 miles of transmission line 100 transmission substations

4 GRE GIS History Started with ArcView 3.X Main purpose was annual Wall Maps and Map Books Switch to SDE in Oracle Multiple editors to our databases Started using PDF Map Books Started using ArcReader

5 GRE GIS History System inventory Maps switch to on demand Map Books were printed less ArcServer Advanced Web service available in 2012

6 Current Projects Standard Web Viewer Vegetation Management System One Line AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) Gopher State One Call

7 Standard Web Viewer One stop shop to see all our system data System Map System One Line Content Management (Oracle) Asset Management (Maximo) Drawing Management (Adept)

8 Best way to use our data What do we want to do with the web service? See the maps See the data Search for data Turn layers on and off Edit our data

9 Widgets Decide on which way we need to go ArcGIS Template Viewer for Silverlight Configure through.xml Silverlight Viewer Programmers would have to do all the customizing.

10 Widgets Continued Map Content Bookmarks Measure GRE Query Locator Search Nearby Redlining Indentify Results Streetview

11 Issues Standard Web Viewer Telling people it s coming Ten years or more Not knowing which is the right way for GRE to go Success We finally have one with our data Coworkers are finding the value of having all the data

12 2011 Vegetation Management Started looking into the process on how we can help and use our data Corridor Software They configured their software to work with our vegetation workflow.

13 2012 Vegetation Management Going through the new software Ordering the new hardware Making changes to the data model Pilot project

14 2013 Vegetation Management Implement to the field Still training contractors

15 Workflow Vegetation Management GRE s foresters go out and survey the corridors with the Corridor Software. Assign projects to Contractors Contractors go out and do the work. Contractors notify GRE the work is done. GRE then checks invoices with what is on the web service.

16 GRE Foresters

17 Contractors

18 GRE Web Viewer Green areas mean that work has been completed.

19 GRE Web Viewer Office workers then double check work with invoices turned in.

20 System One Line 2011 Finished up the pilot project 2012 Entered in all the data that was in the old system one line 2013 Hope to have a map book by the end of April and a web service by the end of the year

21 Advantages System One Line Toggling between the system one line and the GIS Having the ability to see the system one line in its geographical location Generating smaller schematics Cooperative Maps Exporting to CAD for future expansion

22 System One Line

23 System One Line Being able to see large amount of data in a tight location.

24 System One Line Here is how the 28 cooperatives look in the new system one line.

25 System One Line Issues Tons of data Exporting to new databases Knowing the best way to use the schematic extension One drawing or multiple schematics Draw or system, or let the extension run it through a default.

26 Containers

27 2011 Pilot project 2012 AVL 150 assets are currently being tracked 39 Line Trucks 32 SUV s 26 Aerial Trucks 26 Pickup Trucks 13 Diggers 6 Dump Trucks 5 Semi s 3 Cranes

28 The data GRE is Capturing Location of Mobile Assets Hours Running Engine, PTO Mileage Speed GRE s Geophysical Locations Locations of Emergency and Medical Facilities Clinics, Hospitals, Fire and Rescue Historical Data

29 How is AVL Being Used? System Operation Dispatch Uses the Google Earth application to view asset location in conjunction with GRE facilities Maintenance Uses the hours run and mileage information to streamline fleet maintenance Supervisory View asset locations, reports and after hours alerts Safety System Operations knows the exact location of all assets and can send the information to emergency crews in case of accident

30 Web Application

31 Google Earth

32 AVL Going Forward Interface AVL with GIS System Plans to go away from Google Earth and into our Standard Web Viewer Installation on additional assets Entering the new asset into our database

33 Gopher State One Call Notification system established to inform all Minnesota underground facility operator of intended excavation.

34 GRE s Gopher State One Call To help GRE System Operations deal with requests we have created our own dataset that tracks our underground features. We have a feature that deals with polygons, lines, and points that could be at risk with Gopher State One Call.

35 GRE s Gopher State One Call Each feature is in it s correct location on the system map. Description on what it is and where it might be going. Send update to Gopher State about every six months.

36 GRE s Gopher State One Call

37 GRE s Gopher State One Call Positives Now we are part of the routing for work orders. Gives System Operations a reference before dealing with the request. Issues We updated all our switches which flooded System Operations with over a hundred calls in one day.

38 GRE s Future GIS Work Mobile GIS IPods, phones, anything else we can get. Integrate with Maximo Asset management Adept drawing management Have a link in our maps but want to edit or modify data. Model Telecommunication
