Optimize Scheduled Downtime with Intelligent Outage Planning
IPS®OMS Planned Outage Management gives transmission utilities a smarter way to schedule, coordinate, and execute maintenance, with native EAM integration and full CIM-based network visibility.
The Planned Outage Management module within the IPS®OMS simplifies the complex process of scheduling, coordinating, and executing planned outages for power system utilities. Designed to perform the critical outage-planning functions of transmission and distribution operators, this natively integrated software ensures that scheduled maintenance, repairs, and inspections are conducted safely, efficiently, and aligned with your asset investment strategy.
By leveraging a Common Information Model (CIM)-based architecture, our Planned Outage Management software provides a comprehensive view of your network topology, allowing you to manage all future outage items with precision and confidence.
Users can group all future planned outage items and execute them together. Utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI), the system identifies connections between interconnected elements, making coordination simpler and reducing the overall impact on the grid. This intelligent bundling minimizes risks and lowers operational costs by automatically suggesting the creation of a single outage instead of multiple smaller ones.
The module efficiently manages work permits and work requests related to scheduled outage plans. With integration to the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system, there is no need for additional interfacing. This ensures that all asset data is accurate and up-to-date throughout the planning phase, and that field crews have the correct documentation before work begins.
In-built data analytics and visualization capabilities make complex network data easier to read and understand. Users can visualize outage plans in various formats, including CIM-based grid diagram layouts, which facilitate the creation of switching orders and work permits and provide a clear picture of the planned outage’s impact on the network.
Our Planned Outage Management module features native integration and automation with Asset Investment Planning (AIP) projects. This ensures that long-term capital investments are aligned with scheduled maintenance activities, optimizing resource allocation and maximizing the return on asset investment.
For utilities requiring intelligent, automated planning, our software integrates with the Advanced Scheduling Module, which optimizes resources and outages. This ensures that crews and equipment are deployed effectively, reducing idle time and improving overall operational efficiency.
Facilitate switching orders and work permits to ensure safe operating conditions for all field crews.
Save valuable time and resources by automating the planning and scheduling processes.
Use AI to identify connections between outage items, simplifying the coordination of complex maintenance tasks.
Record operational log activities in electrical form, providing a robust infrastructure for change tracking, alerting, and reporting.
Leverage integrated EAM and AIP data to make informed decisions about asset maintenance and capital investment.
Don’t let scheduled maintenance disrupt your grid reliability or strain your operational resources. Our Planned Outage Management System is designed to help you plan the future with confidence, reduce costs, and ensure the safety of your workforce.
