Utility Repository
• Utility companies track a multitude ofequipment and assets
• Heavily attributed with:• Equipment characteristics
• Relationships to other equipment
• Work tracking history
• Location – what “spot” on the earth?• Just another attribute

Historical Corporate Repository
• Proprietary system for location storage• Specialized API or tools required to populate and
edit
• Two-phase commit required• Synchronize creation and edit of location and other
attributes
• Difficult interchange between agencies• Data translation or extraction tools required
![Page 10: March 2007 Oracle Spatial User Conference](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042417/625f5ce07a1f0022bf5a2f96/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Corporate Repository Benefits
• Open data storage• No specialized software required
• Standard IT practices• Report building to include geometry is an extension
of traditional reports
• Scalability inherent in Oracle• Readily available IT staff
• No specialized programming languages• Standard disaster recovery processes apply

Spatially Enabled Applications
• Utility companies need to know relativeposition of customer to servicing equipment• Outage management
• Maintenance and inspection scheduling
• Crews need to be routed to work locationsefficiently• Field force automation
• Mobile work force management applications
![Page 12: March 2007 Oracle Spatial User Conference](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042417/625f5ce07a1f0022bf5a2f96/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example Applications
• Call Before You Dig• 1,230,000 Google matches
• Field Force Automation• Dispatching
• Tracking field crews

Expanding Necessity of Data
• Get more out of your data• Get it to more users
• Enable better business decisions with moreaccurate data• Oracle data warehouse for data mining by various
applications
![Page 14: March 2007 Oracle Spatial User Conference](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042417/625f5ce07a1f0022bf5a2f96/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Recognizing the User
• One application or many?• Users have diverse skills and needs
• Software applications should help user do hisjob better• Tune presentation of data to each user
• Restrict available functions to simplify training andsupport

Many Tools – One Repository
• Utilize the Oracle database as the centralrepository
• Many applications will access the repositorydirectly
• External data easily integrated• Use Oracle tools for both import and export
• Specialized data sets can be created withcommon data access techniques

Anytown, USA Utility Workflows
• Engineering design
• Planning analysis
• Outage inquiry
• Spatial reporting
![Page 17: March 2007 Oracle Spatial User Conference](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042417/625f5ce07a1f0022bf5a2f96/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Engineering Design
• Traditional workhorse of GIS applications
• Builds the centrally managed data warehouse
![Page 18: March 2007 Oracle Spatial User Conference](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042417/625f5ce07a1f0022bf5a2f96/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Data Model Considerations
• Utility deals with many geographic elements• Streets, conductors, parcels, labels, annotation
• User must have control over• What is displayed
• What is considered in spatial queries
• Data entity-relationship consideration• One-to-one mapping of graphic to SDO_GEOMETRY column
• Multiple graphic columns per table
• Many-to-one mapping of graphic to SDO_GEOMETRYcolumns

Planning Analysis
• What-if scenarios using data warehouse• How to handle population growth
• Analyze areas with high outages for rebuilding
• Using an enterprise repository means:• Data immediately available after design
• No conversion, translation or batch imports
![Page 21: March 2007 Oracle Spatial User Conference](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042417/625f5ce07a1f0022bf5a2f96/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example Analysis
• Substation reporting tool• Determine the amount of underground cable per substation
• Data involved• Primary Conductor (linear), Breaker (point), Substation (area)• Breaker owned by substation• Breaker carries name of circuits energized by this substation
• For each substation• Find circuit names from owned breakers• Find all primary conductors with associated circuit names• Create a collection geometry per substation• New derived data: PRICOND_SUB

• Simplified interface for novice users
• Ready access to same data warehouse• Or an easily managed public replica
• Data involved• Outages by type
• Substations
• Preconfigured thematic presentation of conductors
