Objectives In this project, we will trial a data analytics application, which uses localised weather models, historical outage data and asset records (among other data sets) to improve the accuracy of prediction of where storms may affect the electrical network. This will act as a proof of value of the models, which can then be evaluated and validated prior to rollout across the business. The analytics application will take outage and GIS data, and combine with historical and current weather datasets for the SPD region to provide a predictive model for whether a postcode area is forecast to have an outage, and what the severity of this outage will be. This will then be displayed graphically using the GIS data. The main objectives for this project are as follows:1) Development of a data requirements specification, including a target mapping document, and assessment of data source quality.2) Development of a pilot of the Analytic model to allow trial via a storm readiness application. This will also include machine learning algorithms to allow continuous improvement.3) Development of a dashboard to allow the model outputs to be viewed as a map and with KPI indicators. This will also allow previous storm data to be replayed to allow it to be viewed and analysed.
Abstract In this project, we will deveop an analytic model which will allow effective management of resources during storm resources
