DRG presented their data to the electric cooperative and Habersham made the recommended repairs as soon as possible, resulting in a prevention of 14.5 SAIDI minutes. If all 60 components would have failed, approximately 6,200 customers would have suffered an outage. DRG found 60 problematic areas for repair. For Habersham EMC, DRG targeted 510 miles of 3-phase distribution lines-approximately 10 weeks of work. Problems with a higher risk can be fixed first, maximizing efficiency. The ResultsĭRG’s GIS team accesses key data, using it to prioritize work by risk level. The overall goal is to improve CMI, SAIDI, and SAIFI. This analysis allows the Utility to prioritize maintenance based on the potential CMI that will occur when the equipment fails. Once DRG identifies troubles spots, they present a report to the client, providing insights into points of risk and further enhancing asset management strategies by an analysis through HEMC’s connectivity model. Making repairs now will prevent the problem before it occurs. Exacter patented technology tracks down problematic emissions while infrared assessments find high temperatures of electric equipment – both of which are early signs of failure. The Solutionĭavey Resource Group (DRG) recommended that Habersham utilize Exacter predictive asset health analytics, infrared camera patrols and visual inspections to lessen power outages by identifying potential problems and fixing them before they cause outages. For that reason, being pro-active is extremely important to Habersham EMC. Forestry and line crews maintain 3,777 miles of power lines and keep power running for 30,000 members.Īn electric cooperative’s largest goal is reliability for its customers, mitigating as many electric outages as possible ahead of schedule. The same enthusiasm and hard work that started the company continues to connect this community today.
