Abstract

The advances in computer applications and technology are providing more and more data about the distribution system that can be used for analysis. One new technology is automated meter reading (AMR) systems. AMR systems provide access to the consumption and status of individual customers. This summary outlines research work to incorporate AMR information in outage management The first technique combines AMR data with SCADA and trouble call data to identify an outage and then uses AMR polling to verify the outage and its level. The second technique provides a way to use AMR to confirm restoration of all customers below an outaged device.
