SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING SERVICE RESTORATION IN A UTILITY NETWORK
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented restoration work plan system, the system comprising:
- a processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in data communication with the processor,the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including a service restoration management system executable by the processor, and configured to;
prepare a first distribution system operations storm outage prediction project model forecast including at least an assessment plan and a repair plan by performing the steps executable by the processor comprising;
calculating and displaying an expected outage category level substantially in real time for the at least one division based at least in part on at least one variable of the weather forecast; and
calculating and displaying a sustained outage for the at least one division based at least in part on the expected outage category level and a historical sustained outage based on the expected outage category;
calculating and displaying a customers experiencing sustained outages figure report based at least in part on a historical relationship of the calculated sustained outage to a historical customers experiencing sustained outages figure report of the at least one division; and
calculating and displaying estimated resource numbers based on the calculated sustained outage and the resource numbers comprising the number of personnel needed to respond to outages and the number of crew needed to repair outages.

Abstract
Some embodiments include a computer-implemented restoration work plan system and method comprising a processor, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in data communication with the processor, and a service restoration management system executable by the processor, and configured to prepare a first distribution system operations storm outage prediction project model forecast substantially in real time based at least in part on a weather forecast. Some embodiments include calculating and displaying an expected outage category level substantially in real time for each division based on the weather forecast, and resource numbers comprising the number of personnel needed to respond to outages and the number of crew needed to repair outages. Some embodiments include calculating and displaying an estimated time of repair within the repair plan based at least in part on a historical productivity assumption, the productivity assumption including a historical rate of assessment and repair and percentage of outages requiring repair.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed by at least one processor of a computer, cause a restoration work plan system to perform steps comprising:
-
receiving and storing on a computer-readable storage medium a first file comprising at least one weather forecast including at least one storm comprising a storm type and size for at least one division; and using the least one processor, preparing a first distribution system operations storm outage prediction project model forecast including at least an assessment plan and a repair plan by performing the steps comprising; calculating and displaying an expected outage category level substantially in real time for the at least one division based at least in part on at least one variable of the weather forecast; and calculating and displaying a sustained outage for the at least one division based at least in part on the expected outage category level and a historical sustained outage based on the expected outage category; calculating and displaying a customers experiencing sustained outages figure report based at least in part on a historical relationship of the calculated sustained outage to a historical customers experiencing sustained outages figure report of the at least one division; and calculating and displaying estimated resource numbers based on the calculated sustained outage and the resource numbers comprising the number of personnel needed to respond to outages and the number of crew needed to repair outages. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
