In 2008, Fingrid launched a project, the aim of which was to build a new information system that supported asset and operation management and was based on product-based solutions. This new data system that supports asset and operation management goes by the name of ELVIS (an acronym for ELectricity Verkko Information System).

3. Process
Two main processes
1. Asset management
• preventive maintenance
• corrective maintenance
• substation inspection
• protection data from greenfield project
2. Relay setting handling
• settings change
• relay setting calculation and simulation

4. IPS
• relay setting management
• setting file import/export between
manufacturer tool and IPS
• preventive maintenance task list
• testing – omicron file export (.xrio)
• warehouse functionality
Maximo
• workorders and planning/scheduling
• fault reporting
• actuals
• automatic billing
• warehouse functionality
Tasks in different applications

5. Protection maintenance and setting
management - IPS
• Relays as assets
• Same setting data in IPS
and in relay
• Knowledge about relay
functions
• Preventing human errors
import/export capabilities
• No separate excel files

6. Relay setting management – setter view
• Manufacturer independent
view to main settings!
• Use of Parameter sets and
programs
• Setting tips for each
parameter
• Setting states which setter
can lock
• Effective comparison e.g.
"issued" vs. "in relay"

7. Workflow
• Configurable by
maintenance planner
• Who did what and when?
• Tracking of unfinished jobs
• Payment process starts
after completed jobs
• GSR > RSR

8. Setting calculation and Simulation - CAPE
• Combines ALL ELVIS information
• To visualize settings
• To analyze co-operation of the relays
in different scenarios
• To find root causes for the faults
occurred in the network
• To make setting calculation (more)
"automatic"
• Also used in the hazardous voltage
process

9. Reporting
• Fault statistics e.g. failure rate of a
certain relay type is accelerating
• Repair time tracking from fault to
commissioning
• Info for setters about changes in CT or
VT ratios and power line data
• Light reports by using effective filtering
inside IPS
