1 PG&E s optimizing the Benefits of FLISR with a Near Real-time Management Dashboard Harry Marks, Manager Distribution Automation, PG&E INTERNAL

Who we are Pacific Gas & Electric Company Incorporated in California in 1905 One of the largest combination gas and electric transmission and delivery companies in the US 70,000 square mile service

2 Who we are Pacific Gas & Electric Company Incorporated in California in 1905 One of the largest combination gas and electric transmission and delivery companies in the US 70,000 square mile service area in central and northern California 107,000 electric distribution and 18,500 transmission circuit miles 43,000 miles of natural gas distribution and 6,500 miles transmission 5.4 million electric and 4.3 million gas customer accounts 2

3 What is FLISR? Fault Location, Isolation and Service Restoration Tool used to increase reliability by quickly identifying fault locations through SCADA monitored devices Uses centralized system with advanced logic to isolate the fault between SCADA devices If all parameters (load/safety) are met, analyzes available back ties and restores as many customers as possible FLISR aims to restore as many customers as possible, safely, within 5 minutes of an outage, increasing reliability. 3

4 FLISR Deployment System 905 distribution circuits Installed over 2,500 SCADA devices (reclosers and switches) Continue to expand the system by 100 circuits and 300 SCADA devices annually

5 FLISR at Pacific Gas & Electric FLISR Benefits Deployed on 905 s, >26% of system 1,128,000 customers avoided experiencing a sustained outage and 110,600,000 customer minutes of interruption avoided in

6 Managing Data to Drive Performance SCADA Logs Data Historian GIS Spreadsheets In order to maximize the benefits of our FLISR deployment, we needed a better way to manage all this data and monitor system performance

7 Dashboard Goal Combine the many systems, processes and workgroups working toward common goal Metrics & Reporting Management Engineering Operations SCADA Specialists Technicians Visualization FLISR Dashboard System Status Maintenance & Repair

8 Project Recap Date January 2016 November 2016 December 2016 January 2017 Throughout 2017 December 2017 Event Phase 1 begins with user workshops to collect dashboard requirements, review processes & develop initial concept Phase 2 begins, revisiting phase 1 requirements and beginning design In order to enable a more real-time view into system and meet additional requirements, project design changes to multi-tool solution FLISR Dashboard team presents design Project moves through Design/Build/UAT phases FLISR Dashboard goes live to first group of users December 28 th Looking forward Full deployment go-live scheduled for Q

schedule were needed to take advantage of the platform changes Improved product - Extra

9 Platform Selection Extensive reviews of the requirements and use cases identified that original software platform did not provide all needed functionality Adjustments to the project schedule were needed to take advantage of the platform changes Improved product - Extra benefit with the expanded functionality to expand user base (via real time information) and improve results 9

10 Dashboard Platform Components FLISR Dashboard components: 1 ESRI - Geospatial mapping and analytics 2 PI Coresight - Historical PI data 3 SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) - Reporting 4 PI Integrator - Near real time updates of status and alarms 10

11 Using the FLISR Dashboard 11

12 User Story Management FLISR performance and availability information and reporting 12

13 User Story Operations Quickly assess state of system and identify number of disabled circuits, devices & alarms 13

14 User Story Field Technicians Enable field technicians to identify open tickets and new maintenance alarms in their assigned region 14

15 User Story Field Technicians Work locations visible in Google Maps 15

16 Key to Success Business Process Mapping In order to ensure business value, begin by mapping as-is processes with user groups, then define to-be with technology change As-is Process: To-Be Process: 16

17 Key to Success User Specific Job Aids Once business processes are mapped, create specific Job Aids for user groups based on how their team will use the tool

18 Outcomes of the FLISR Dashboard Efficiency / Visibility Created a centralized repository of FLISR circuit status Created situational awareness for the system as a whole without having to go between multiple systems Increased visibility to organizations who are without access to source systems Reliability Impacts Equipment issues are identified and resolved quicker resulting in the system being more reliable Increased FLISR benefits from resolved equipment issues Multiple Data Sources & Organizations Combined multiple data sources to see true FLISR health and availability Provided ability for multiple groups to work together to support FLISR system 18
