Asset Management and Grid Optimization
A high data quality is the foundation
for any qualified decision making.
Fingrid has established a coherent setup
establishing / guaranteeing the data needed
in asset management, in grid optimization,
as well as in many other business processes.

Two Fundamental Architectural Strategies
Data should be entered once
and distributed as needed
Standard software products should be used
with a minimum of customization required.

The PowerGrid Data Model in GIS
The objectives / requirements behind the PowerGrid data model are:
 Holds complete and topologically correct documentation of the grid
 Supports asset management in cooperation with 3rd party EAM solution
 Supports extract to CIM for subsequent complex analyses
 Supports life cycles from planning till decommissioning
 Requires a minimum of customization

GIS data supporting business processes
Through integrations GIS data is made available to:
• The Maximo asset management solution
• The PSS®ODMS / PSS®E power system planning and analysis solution
Reversely relevant data from Maximo and the PSS solutions is made available in GIS.
Data is entered once and distributed as needed

Integrated with the Asset Management System
In Maximo assets are related to locations originating from GIS.
 This allows not only benefitting from the ‘hierarchical’ / relational information from GIS.
 As locations are geometric the asset manager may also search and visualize intuitively /
efficiently using maps.

The Asset Management System
The Maximo solution handles tasks related to:
 Asset life cycle tracking
 Maintenance planning and documenting
 Work management
 Inventory management
 Procurement management

Business value as of now – asset management-wise
• Previous Elnet Grid Information System, which has been in use for more than 20 years, has
been replaced by ELVIS
• With better business process support and lots of flexibility it is now
• Easier to calculate the value of the grid
• Possible to make more accurate calculating and assessment of life-cycle costs.
• Easier and quicker to access relevant and updated information for Fingrid personnel –
centrally as well as in the field using mobile devices.
• The consolidated data strategy ensures the high data quality that is the foundation for any
qualified decision making.

Right of Way Management – work order management
Another great example of GIS and Maximo co-existence is with respect to the
Right of Way management.
• Right of Way aims at protecting property (overhead lines)
• Tree trimming has been out-sourced
• The solution eases
– Tendering
– Contract management
– Access to data for external parties
– Tracking the progress of work

Grid Documentation from GIS used in grid planning
The same GIS data is used for advanced network analyses and grid planning using
PSS®ODMS / PSS®E.
This is enabled using an integration based on the IEC CIM standard as
recommended by ENTSO-E.

Results Visualized in The Map
Visualizing results in a map
reveals patterns / contexts
that often are hard to
deduct from spreadsheets /
KPI’s etc.
These examples of GIS
visualizing results from
network analyses speak for
themselves.

Business value as of now – network analysis-wise
• Grid planning and grid optimization in electric transmission always means big expenditures
/ big potential savings.
• The consolidated data strategy and corresponding standard-based integration between GIS
and analysis tools ensures the data required for planning / analysis
• By providing the very high quality of data that is required for analyses, power engineers
may focus their time on actually analyzing rather than providing data.
• By subsequently applying the analysis data in GIS
• Patterns become clear
• Assets exposed to heavy loading may be pinpointed and offered extra attention.

Ensuring a High Data Quality
With GIS responsible for these crucial data,
ensuring high data quality becomes a central concern.
 The recent data migration from various sources led to impressive results.
 The chosen Esri ArcGIS solution holds inherent functionality streamlining the
ongoing processes maintaining the required data quality at the source.
Keeping in mind that
A high data quality is the foundation for any qualified decision making
this is pivotal.

Concluding so far…
With the ELVIS project
Fingrid has established a setup
streamlining crucial business processes related to
asset management and to grid analysis
The success is to a large extent based on a coherent use of data from GIS.

Concluding so far…
At Fingrid spatial information now constitutes key
corporate data that is used by all business functions,
i.e. planning, operation, construction, maintenance,
accounting, etc.

And there is more to come
Fingrid has plans for further developing the ELVIS solution.

By bringing real time - and historical data originating from SCADA into ELVIS Fingrid plan on further
streamlining:
• Outage switching planning and execution
• Asset management and fault predicting
• More widespread access to and use of
this essential set of data
