With the release of Esri's new ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing (APR) tools in 2017, we got to work immediately deploying the new extensions for our clients. This presentation will focus on SCANA Energy's APR implementation and lessons learned throughout the deployment. Topics will range from source data preparation, UPDM extensions, APR architecture, installation, licensing, APR core data loading and end user data editing workflows.
UPDM & APR Implementation for Gas TransmissionSSP Innovations
With the release of Esri's ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing (APR) in early 2017, Memphis Light, Gas & Water (MLGW) identified the extensions as desirable tools to manage their gas transmission assets. The key driver for MLGW was the ability to utilize software within the Esri stack for editing linear referenced pipelines, viewing and reporting. This presentation will focus on MLGW’s APR implementation and include elements around the hardware/software architecture, Utility Pipeline Data Model, data migration across multiple sources, implementation of the Esri software and creation of a viewing/reporting application within Web App Builder.
State Zero: Middle Tennessee Electric Membership CorporationSSP Innovations
MTEMC recently completed a major project to merge multiple geodatabases into a single new GDB, apply data model changes along with corresponding data migration, and to implement voltage levels with feeder manager 2.0 to provide connectivity upstream of a circuit breaker. Several of these changes required the geodatabase to be at state 0 (no versions). MTEMC utilized SSP Innovations’ All Edits State 0 technology to successfully complete this project while maintaining their 1700+ design versions.
In 2015, CoServ made the determination to migrate all asset data management into IBM Maximo. We opted to leverage ArcGIS for Server as our main integration point between Maximo and GIS. By hosting our utility infrastructure data in feature services, we allowed Maximo to view spatially enabled information for visualization within its own environment. Additionally, Maximo updates feature classes and their related tables based upon changes made in Maximo seamlessly through the services. By leveraging Global IDs and GUIDs as the direct linkage between Maximo assets and GIS features, CoServ is now able to ingest Maximo assets directly into the GIS environment. This presented GIS end users access to asset related information in their native environment. The migration has been a highly successful implementation. It has alleviated the strain on GIS to manage and maintain asset related information while still providing a way for GIS to access it. This solution has provided a stable integration between the two environments with minimal customizations. By thinking a bit out of the box, CoServ was able to create a unique integration that solved all of our problems.

MCE GeoProcessing Services for ADM(IE): Self Validation of Spatial Data Input...Safe Software
The Department of National Defence (DND) is developing a central repository for land, building, and infrastructure data. This a joint project between the Assistant Deputy Minister Infrastructure and Environment (ADMIE) and the Mapping and Charting Establishment (MCE). This project involves managing DND real property and other spatial data provided by DND bases and wings across Canada through a unique, integrated and standardized Real Property Spatial Data Warehouse (RPSDW), hosted at MCE, containing a SQL Server database. Data provided by DND bases and wings must meet standards defined and documented by ADMIE, in terms of data formats accepted (GeoMedia MDB, ArcGIS FGDB, MapInfo MIF or AutoCAD SDF), geometry, schema and attribute data types, domains and accepted values for each feature class. An FME workspace and an equivalent tool contained within an ArcGIS Data Interoperability Toolbox were created to provide the geotechs from DND Bases using ArcGIS Data Interoperability or FME Desktop with a toolset, delivered together with a user’s guide, that allows them to perform a self-validation of the DND real property and other spatial data before these data is sent to MCE to be loaded into the RPSDW SQL Server database.
Transformer Loading, Driving Enterprise Decisions with ArcGIS OnlineSSP Innovations
In the past MTEMC has oversized their transformers across the utility due to a lack of consumption data in GIS. MTEMC joined SSP Innovations to auto-load SAP consumption data, perform aggregation for peak usage, and to visualize the data in ArcGIS Online via a thematic map. Field troubleshooters use Collector for ArcGIS to view the load profile for any transformer showing peak usage against the transformer size. This results in cost savings and has generated drivers for many other uses of the data and of ArcGIS Online.

Streetlight poles and luminaires are ideal hosts for connecting sensors. They provide fine-grained information about the urban environment, and are used to provide adaptive lighting but also feed into many municipal systems and departments. Examples include minute-by-minute traffic analytics or street-by-street air quality monitoring.
But if street lighting is to become the catalyst for “smart city” applications, lighting professionals need to understand when to harness sensor data, and when to consider application data or predictive “big data”. The world is changing and we need to take a wider view. Keith will focus on deployed use cases to help to make sense of the practical and economic implications of these important developments.
Talk by Keith Henry AMILP, Telensa
The Trellis DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Managment) Solution is a Dynamic infrastructure optimization Platform. It's the first holistic DCIM platform of hardware, software and services to bridge the critical gap between IT equipment and data center physical infrastructure.
Trellis ensures Availability, Efficiency, Agility for the modern Data Center Infrastructure.
With the rapid growth of IP networks in South-Asia in the past
few years, and the advent of new services and applications -- be they
wireless/wireline broadband Internet access, cable telephony, VoIP, remote
teleconferencing, e-governance, or mobile entertainment -- a key
issue before carriers is how to design and operate their networks as
methodically and as efficiently as possible to maximize both customer
retention and profits.
While several best practices typically emerge from each provider\'s
unique situation and cumulative experience (the "art" of network design), there
are certain operational precepts that systematize and streamline the
complex, multi-dimensional task of designing and managing modern, operational
IP networks (the "science" of network design).
In this talk, we first discuss the overall network design process and the
manner in which control over the network must be exercised at varying
timescales to achieve efficient operation. Next we discuss the
functions that the operational, engineering, and planning teams at a
carrier must typically execute, their inter-relationships, and
the importance/rationale for performing them to optimize network
performance.
We then outline some network design best practices that have evolved
over the past decade, drawing upon examples of carriers such as
Sprint, Global Crossing, AT&T, NTT, and Reliance. We conclude with
a look at some automated traffic engineering and planning tools,
and how they enable carriers to rapidly identify potential
performance problems, rigorously experiment with/evaluate design
options, perform thorough scenario and network analysis, and
develop robust designs.

Maximizing ROI on Utility Work Management SystemsSSP Innovations
Utility IT Departments must carefully assess several factors when searching for and acquiring new enterprise systems that ultimately affect the overall success or failure of the system. This presentation will review important high value considerations of Work Management Systems at utility organizations. Considerations such as implementation personnel expertise, extensibility, configurability, support, and system data models all play a role in the end cost of a system. Each of these factors and more will be examined in light of examples provided by SSP’s Work Management System, WFM aka Workforce Management.
From SSP's Illuminate Webinar Series: Built just for utilities, SSP Lifecycle is a full-featured work and asset management solution that simplifies the complexity of managing and maintaining network assets. From initial design right through to retirement, Lifecycle has all the features you need – and none you don’t – to proactively manage and intelligently operate your utility network. Powerful and robust, Lifecycle works well either as a standalone solution or side-by-side with existing work and asset management systems to deliver increased value, efficiency, and engagement.

Connexus Energy needed to find a new way to report outages to their Responder™ OMS beyond traditional IVR. With a combination of web portal, middleware and a Multispeak-based web service, customers can now log into the portal and report outages. This allows Connexus to handle more outage calls by alleviating the restriction on the number of phone lines required, and reduces the time it takes to report an outage. Learn more about the technologies used and the outcome in this informative session.
CoServ has been using ArcGIS/ArcFM/Designer™ successfully for over 10 years. As part of a recent Maximo/GIS integration effort, CoServ has reviewed its business workflows with SSP. In particular, and within GIS, CoServ’s designs life cycles have been altered to include: Pre-Posting to DEFAULT, and removal from SDE of the Esri version as soon as the design is in construction. As well as Partial Energization as a means to gradually post portions of as-built network into DEFAULT.
The most important benefits from introducing these steps are: A.- Early availability to the whole company of GIS data regarding designs under construction. B.- Network energization status (and other details) monitored during the construction phases of a design. C.- Minimizing the number of active versions in the SDE state tree. The first two benefits improve overall company-wide business, by having early and timely knowledge of the projects being constructed in the field, overlaid on the current distribution network. While minimizing the versions dramatically improves the GDB performance and efficiency.
Rule-Driven, Fully-Configurable Asset Tracking with GISSSP Innovations
For the last seven years MLGW has successfully implemented GIS using ArcGIS/ArcFM ™. The GIS serves as an enterprise backbone for a variety of business applications where utility assets play a crucial role: Inspection, Maintenance, New Construction, OMS, among others.To support the life cycle of MLGW’s assets, SSP has implemented a rule-driven and fully-configurable asset tracking mechanism built into the GIS. Rules specified by different business units determine: What network elements are to be tracked as assets. What attributes of those assets are to be monitored. How and when these attributes may change.
CoServ has been preparing for the future by adding several connections to their OMS. These connections have evolved over the years and now include: SCADA-initiated device status, outage creation and status through IVR, and web-based outage tools for reporting and status. This session will cover the evolution and future plans for utlizing the information from OMS and the business value the existing tools have made for CoServ and their customers.
Connexus Energy standardized on Clevest’s Mobile Workforce applications and Schneider Electric’s Responder product for Outage Management, partnering with SSP Innovations and Clevest to build the bridge between the two products. SSP and Clevest integrated their systems using a Multispeak interface for outage data. Attend this session to learn more about how the two vendors collaborated with Connexus on the integration process, and the results achieved.
Opening the Outage Door: Integrating OMS into CISSSP Innovations
Tri-County Electric Co-Op breaks the OMS data barrier by integrating their existing ATS OpenOne CIS system with Schneider Electric’s Responder OMS. CSR’s now have the ability to: retrieve past outage information for the customer account; input new outage calls on behalf of the customer; and retrieve real-time outage information for existing outages. Customers are now able to enter outages from web and mobile technologies. SSP Innovations bridged the gap with a Multispeak-based web service.
Provisioning Bandwidth & Logical Circuits Using Telecom-Based GIS.SSP Innovations
Those that have implemented Fiber Manager understand that the product focuses on managing the physical infrastructure of your telecom network including fiber optic, microwave, copper, and various other communication mediums. However, many customers have long been interested in managing the logical network in addition to the physical infrastructure. And this means managing bandwidth allocation to the various users, systems, services, or customers whose traffic traverses your physical facilities. Join us for this session as we explore how Tri-State G&T is working to customize Fiber Manager to include the provisioning of their logical circuits from an OC-192 all the way down to a DS0 with everything in between. The future of Fiber Manager may be closer than you think!
Managing Massive Updates - Using GIS to Fuel Gas ComplianceSSP Innovations
NIPSCO was required to undergo massive data updates to their GIS to meet new gas regulation. A series of projects allowed for the rectification of all gas transmission assets and the manual update of system-wide records to accommodate the requirements. SSP technology was implemented to allow for outsourced updates to be replayed into the versioned production GIS while maintaining fulltime day-to-day editing. This provided maximum flexibility while minimizing downtime and any performance impact.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

9. Modern platforms…
• Respect identity
• Work on any device
• Leverage external data
• Share data to other platforms
• Allow consumers to also be providers of
information
• Are always on
• Scale automatically
• Have security built-in
• Enable hybrid deployments to ease transition
20. Becoming a GIS Superstar Isn’t Hard
Portal is the key exposure point for the platform.
Lowercase “portal” implies ArcGIS Online
Uppercase “Portal” implies Portal for ArcGIS
The same result will enable traditional GIS in new, powerful ways
How can utilities take their first steps with portal?
Expose New Data to the utility
Collect New Data from the utility
Empower the utility thru Geoprocessing,
Systems Integration, Workflow, & Reporting
21. Expose, Collect, Empower How?
Middle Tennessee Electric is
here to tell us about their
catalyst project…
Find Your Pattern and Use it as a Catalyst for Platform
Choose a single pattern that will add value
Use it to have all the infrastructure enabled
You will then have the power of platform at your fingertips
SSP has implemented patterns at utilities/telcos across the country
We’ll provide several ideas at the end of the presentation

23. Business Drivers
Transformer Failures Occur Regularly
Troubleshooter assesses transformer in the field
Transformers are replaced
Often up-sized to handle an overloaded scenario
(25 kVA to 37.5 kVA)
Data is not available to see consumption / loading information
Result
Inefficiencies in Network
Cost Impact
24. Business Drivers
Engineering Asked For Help
Desire to utilize consumption data to determine transformer sizing
Provided an Example Report that would help
Provided all Engineering Calculations
25. Business Challenges
No DB relationship between Service Location & Transformer
Network Traceable Relationship in GIS

27. The Solution
Engaged with SSP Innovations to Design and Develop
SSP is the in house Esri / Schneider Electric support vendor
SSP & MTEMC Broke the Effort into Three Phases:
1. Establish Maintainable Relationships from Xfr to Service
2. CIS Consumption Load & Aggregation
3. Reporting & Visualization
28. Phase 1 – Xfr to Service
Schema changes on Service Point
Track Xfr Company Number By Phase
Initial script to establish relationships
Trace via Electric Network
SQL Script to Not Impact Versioning Performance
AutoUpdaters to maintain relationship
29. Phase 2 – CIS Data Usage
Chose SSP Nightly Batch Suite for Fast Batch Apps
Series of three integration applications
1. Load the raw CIS consumption data into GIS
Applied Engineering Calculations
2. Aggregate max consumption to Transformer Unit (by phase)
By Month & Season
3. Create Summary Feature Points for Each Xfr Asset
30. Phase 2 – CIS Aggregation
Three Phase Aggregation
31. Phase 3 – Reporting
Utilized SQL Server Reporting Services
Out of the Box Web Reports
Provided Query Screen to Engineers:
32. Phase 3 – Reporting
Three Level Report – Level 1 Shows Transformer Unit
33. Phase 3 – Reporting
Three Level Report –
Level 2 Shows Adjusted Meter Consumption
34. Phase 3 – Visualization
Utilized ArcGIS Online –
Created Thematic Map Showing Xfr Load vs. Capacity
35. Phase 3 – Visualization
Exposed via ArcGIS Online as a WebMap
Troubleshooter uses their phone or tablet
when they arrive on scene
Zoom via GPS in the device
View transformer loading data by color
Click any transformer to view details
Demo…
