Hi there Need to do a connected trace stopping whenever encountering a low voltage cable or a low voltage overhead line. ElectricLine::37::Low Voltage Underground Conductor::102::AC Underground LV ElectricLine::6::Low Voltage Overhead Conductor::100::AC Overhead LV This is done using condition barriers - in SQL I would create a query like (ASSETGROUP = 37 and ASSETTYPE = 102) or (ASSETGROUP = 6 and ASSETTYPE = 100) Using the GP tool I would set it up like this: How do i know that ArcGIS does an (A and B) or (C and D) and not a A and (B or C) and D? It's the first combination / query that I need. ... View more

In an electric grid having a section of the grid de-energized due to open switching devices between it and one or more subnetwork controllers I need Utility Network to offer a trace telling me potential switching devices to close in order to re-energise this section. At Esri UC 2024 I discussed this with David Crawford and he suggested an approach that could bring me some of the way, yet may output false positives. Let me explain. I place a trace starting somewhere in the de-energised section and initiate a Connected trace. This connected trace is configured with Condition Barrier Operating Status Normal equals Open This will make the connected trace stop at open switching devices. and with Output Condition also set to Operating Status Normal equals Open This will make the connected trace only return these open switching devices. And it does return open switching reachable from the trace starting point placed within the de-energised section of the grid. So far so good. Yet, in case of loops within the de-energized section or open switching devices to a customer currently disconnected the trace result will include open breaker not allowing in-feed. False positives. You guys, Esri, have the entire graph model in the background and I assume it's feasible for you guys to offer a trace capability / configuration returning only the open breakers which upon closing would in fact re-energise the section in question without including false positives. Looking forward to your answer and fix. Love how at Esri UC you can go to the expo, find the right booth and always find the knowledgeable person answering your questions ❤️   Best regards   Jens Dalsgaard Volue ... View more

In context of planning new grid, quite often in a cabled grid you will split a cable to insert and connect a new substation or cabinet. Let's say we have cable with GlobalID ABC123 and you split it, you will have two cables left: One being the original cable feature with GlobalID ABC123 (the longest part) One being a new feature being assigned this GlobalID ABC456 (notice: a new feature yet NOT a new cable) In planning context it is important to know that this new feature with GlobalID ABC456 is in fact not a new cable. The planner does not need to buy this cable nor do any digging (except at the location of the splitting). I was wondering if using Arcade (or other magic approaches) I could identify such 'new' feature as 'new feature because of a split operation and hence in reality not really a new cable'. Please notice enclosed freehand drawing aiming at delivering some context. The two green cables are NEW. The BLUE feature is new (feature) but does not represent a new cable - how may I omit this from the budget. Any ideas are welcomed. ... View more

Gain access to the white paper created by Volue and #Elvia on exactly how to implement the Esri EUNF electric Utility Network data model for DSOs operating a balanced three-phase grid as found in Europe and many other parts of the world. The white paper comes with sample grid data in UN implemented as recommended allowing the reader to try hands-on what it is the white paper advocates. By releasing this white paper we - Volue and Elvia - hope to allow the many DSOs out there to jump-start the UN journey, to skip time consuming clarification, and the data modelling phase and start delivering value fast. This is provided to everyone of you as a gesture of goodwill. Enjoy. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7183797445791760385/ ... View more

You're working at or with an electric utility. You too see ArcGIS Utility Network [UN] as the right foundation for your data driven operation. UN is not a plug and play solution, though. The number of LinkedIn posts highlighting how you need to conduct extensive analyses on your source data and on how to implement UN to support your needs are endless. To meet the challenges lying ahead for DSOs we must collaborate. We should unify implementations. And why not do so - after all: DSO is DSO; Why would everyone have to go through the same clarification? Join us at hashtag#IMGIS2024 in Frankfurt where Volue will present a white paper allowing you to jump-start your UN journey if your a DSO operating a balanced three-phase electric grid. A white paper created in close collaboration with Norway's largest DSO serving one million meters, Elvia. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7181214042487758850/ ... View more
