IQGeo gas and electric utility case study

Gas and electric utility

Acquisitions and mergers with other utility businesses meant that the IT team had to deal with multiple GIS, outage management, customer information and other systems.

Key statistics

Largest electric utility in Japan

Provides energy to population of
44 million

4th largest electric utility globally

Requirements

In recent years TEPCO has suffered major damage to their network caused by multiple typhoons and torrential rainstorms, so it is more important than ever to have a comprehensive, geospatial view of damage information. The existing mapping system wasn’t scalable or flexible enough and it could not support a broader area view.

Results

Following a recent Typhoon, TEPCO used the IQGeo Platform to share location information to quickly identify blackout locations and damage. As a result, they were able to do recovery work more efficiently. And since the IQGeo view is based on google maps, it’s easy for anyone to identify locations in areas they don’t already know.

Offline support, validating designs and version control were causing us major headaches. Thanks to IQGeo, these are now problems of the past.

Gordon Perry, Technical Director, Gigaclear

Key statistics

Largest electric utility in Japan

Provides energy to population of
44 million

4th largest electric utility globally

Requirements

Following Typhoon Faxai there was 934,000 electricity outages. TEPCO Power Grid was required to have daily press meetings to keep everyone informed of progress, but the lack of accurate and current information made it almost hard to forecast recovery timing. They quickly needed a new solution that would enable TEPCO to respond efficiently and effectively to this situation, and future severe weather conditions.

Results

IQGeo’s geospatial Platform made it easy for TEPCO to visualize accurate damaged location and accelerate collaboration with key decision-makers, while sharing vital information to citizen and governments. The supervisory ministry asked for a detailed report in just a month and the IQGeo Platform enabled the team to do this quickly and efficiently.

Without IQGeo, it would take double the time to grasp the total damage for extreme weather events.

Key statistics

Public utility company

105,600 electric customers

82,700 natural gas customers

Requirements

Automate survey tracking and sought a solution to replace the antiquated process of highlighting maps of survey areas or “From/To Street Lists”. Although widely used by utilities, this system does not offer definitive proof that the exercise was satisfied.

Results

Achieved key operational goals, including; improve leak management, increase the amount of collective data on new installation, and the ability to respond to field observations more quickly.

Key statistics

One of the largest gas and electric
utilities in North America

Operates across urban and rural areas

Service territory of more than 100,000 square miles

Requirements

The goal was to make spatial and associated data from different, often incompatible systems accessible to all users, not just the GIS team. Improve planning decisions by giving users insight into intelligent data from across business units and source systems.

Results

The most significant benefit was improved integration of the new merged business units. All GIS asset data is exposed through a single tool to designers and asset engineers. Within five months of the initial IQGeo deployment there were more than 5,000 users. This has since grown to 15,000 named users.
