Outage Management
• Smart Meters report loss of power back as it occur (before customers call)
• It assist in identifying the number of customers affected and potential type
of fault (Help with prioritising and appropriate equipped fault truck dispatch)
• Web Portal keeps customers up to date about magnitude of outage and
estimated time of restoration
• Confirm restoration of supply to all customers before leaving the site
• It allows the call centre to confirm the presence of a supply up to the meter
while on the phone with a customer (Reduce the number of truck been
dispatched and possible on charging to customers for problems on the
customer’s side)

What does the future holds?
Improved Safety:
• Real Time 24/7 monitoring of customers on Life Support
• Detection of “Candling” High Voltage Fuses (Prevention of Bush fires)
• Detection of Broken conductors and Live conductors on the ground
Improved Customer Experience
• Identification HV Fault locations (Truck direct to fault, faster restoration)
• Near real time network voltage monitoring and control (Better Quality of
supply)
• Deployment of applications into meters (Distributed intelligence – Faster
alerts of problem conditions e.g. service mains problems))
• Solar apps e.g. Solar panels that tripped (Help to maximize customer’s
investment)
