Investment planning and analytics

Understand your current network assets, pull together all your data, and have an overall picture of your project portfolio. You can tackle all those challenges, gaining always up-to-date data, optimal networks, better decisions, and the ability to reach your potential to significant cost savings.

Strategic Asset Management

Whether that be spatial analysis, target network optimization, reliability analysis or any other analysis tool that best supports your utility needs, make use of the efficient data fusion and enrichment and gain an overall understanding of your network assets. Recognize your investment and maintenance needs as well as your current asset value.

Evaluate the influence of different network scenarios, examining distribution reliability, cost and asset value evolution, and more. Use the network optimization to find your optimal target network and your overall project portfolio to weigh between different investment and maintenance programs.

Bring all your data together for smart decision-making, providing you with a dynamic view to your project portfolio and allowing you to optimize your utility activities. Make the right investment at the right time and gain true fluency to your utility processes.

Trimble has got lots of recognition during the audits. The auditors have told us several times that our IT systems are really state-of-the art, more or less the best ones they have ever seen.

Jorma Myllymäki, COO, Elenia

Spatial Analysis

Make use of advanced thematic mapping and statistical analyses to combine and refine all your utility data.

Combine and analyze various internal and external data sources such as network assets, maintenance, operational and customer data, electro-technical calculations, historical and statistical data, as well as CIS, ERP and AMR data.

Utilize the results extensively, for example, in reports or by creating informative visualizations with versatile possibilities for thematic maps and other graphic presentations. Use the gained insight to your refined data as a basis for decision-making.

Reliability Analysis

Identify network parts that are unsatisfactory either in terms of distribution reliability or your utility targets. Discover what kind of unreliability is experienced by different network parts, and what causes them, and examine your reliability indices such as SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, and more.

Examine how to develop your network by comparing alternative network structures from different viewpoints, weighing the electro-technical, reliability and economical aspects. Evaluate the life-cycle impacts of the different alternatives to find the most potential development areas.

Use Cases

See Future Needs
Bring in areal prognoses, such as load growth or changes in the population, and analyze them together with electro-technical calculation results. As a result, discover network areas that potentially need more load capacity in the future.

Mitigate Network Risks
Find the network components that contribute the highest reliability risk to your network. Try out alternative network improvements and quantify their impact, all in seamless integration with your
intelligent network model.

Make the Right Investments
See which projects best fit your network development strategy, such as maximizing the network value or reaching a targeted service level. Compare the projects in your portfolio and select the most suitable ones to make the best out of your budget.

Network Optimizer for Target Networks

Automatically produce alternative network designs for your target network, considering network structures, life-cycle costs and other targets set in your utility. Evaluate different scenarios and start finding concrete steps to take you closer to your target network.

“Whatever we do with the network, it’s always based on minimizing the costs.”
