POINT-AND-CLICK DATA WAREHOUSE: web-based T&D data goes online at Georgia Power Co.

摘要

DELIVERING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM DATA TO ALL LEVELS OF USERS CAN BE A CHALLENGE FOR ANY UTILITY. Not only is the data diverse, but the users' skill sets are even more so. The 8800 employees of Georgia Power Co. (GPC; Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.), the largest of five electric utilities in Southern Company, serves more than 2.1 million customers in 153 of Georgia's 159 counties. Employees in engineering, customer service, marketing, information technologies, forestry, operations and lighting need quick and easy access to certain information on entities in the distribution system, on customers and on abnormal conditions in the network. GPC rose to this challenge by implementing an application that gives this wide variety of users access to distribution facilities data, GIS data, and relevant customer, transmission, substation, outage management and other data.
