GSAS Background and Need > Recognized Features of Natural Gas
─ An increasingly important energy
source
─ Critical operations are becoming
dependent its reliable delivery
─ Infrastructure has shown vulnerability to
large scale natural disasters with
cascading impacts
─ Operators need to access and provide
near-real time status data to/from other
critical infrastructure operators during
disasters and reduce outage times to
critical end-users
A Gas Situational Awareness System (GSAS) for natural gas infrastructure operators will assist the industry in exchanging essential status information before, during, and after disasters with other critical infrastructure operators and government agencies. The proposed system will collect, collate, and publish status information from critical infrastructure operators to provide situational awareness of outages and other important status information for assessing vulnerabilities, identifying interdependencies, and deploying restoration services.

GSAS Value/Impact Increase situational awareness and assist in decision
making related to threat identification, preparation, and
restoration based on the critical nature of the end-users
Increase the quality and integrity of the exchanged data
using automation to reduce the opportunity for human error
Reduce time required to exchange essential system data

In March 2013 NGA and AGA sponsored the Flood Engineering and Operations Best
Practices Workshop
The needs identified included having the abilities to:
• Track impacted customers
• Know the extent of the flooding
• Tell if it is safe to go into an area to re-light and
• Know what other utilities are doing to respond to the event
• (ex. re-lighting cannot take place if there is no electric power in an area).
In summary the need for a gas Outage Management System (GOMS) was identified.
A preliminary review by Workshop attendees concluded that there is no commercially
available GOMS, those that are in use have been “home grown”.
GOMS Background and Need

GOMS Functionality
> Call processing logic to create geospatial gas incidents from call information
> System Interfaces to move IVR information between utility IVR systems and GOMS
> System Interfaces to GSAS data for utility specific use (predictive impact polygons, incident impact
polygons, multi-utility building restoration status)
> Customer information
> Gas distribution system network awareness
> Automation tools defining detailed restoration status
> System Interfaces to move crew dispatch to utility Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems
> Integration of GSAS information with existing distribution and transmission models
> Simulation tool for operator training and emergency drill response
> Tools to route crews using GSAS road feature services
> Tools and supporting symbology to define incident command locations and facilities *
* Incident command post, staging areas, base locations, camps, helibase, helispot and produce maps to support incident command
structure. (some of this will be supplied by GSAS but some locations must be created utility by utility)
