Utility Network 101

Why a New Network?

Esri’s goal is to create a network that will service the customer’s

requirements for the next 15 to 20 years

The geometric network has reached a mature lifecycle and has

limitations Performance

No support in ArcGIS Pro

No native lifecycle management (planned/designed vs. existing)

Not enough support for future DMS integration

Services Based Allows for consumption by any Esri platform (ArcGIS Pro, Web, Runtime)

Utility Network 101

What’s Needed?

ArcGIS Pro Native 64 bit

3D enabled

Desktop app of the future

ArcGIS Enterprise (10.5+) Portal for ArcGIS

ArcGIS Server

Enterprise Geodatabase File geodatabases not supported

Page 6: How will the Utility Network Affect You?

Utility Network Jumpstart

Fully-hosted Utility Network sandbox

Open feedback loop with Esri and SSP

Two-day onsite training

UNJ Benefits

Skip the setup and configuration

Instantly utilize the UN tools for utility workflows

Get in early during the beta

Influence and direct the future of utility GIS

Provide direct feedback to Esri

Influence SSP’s UN Productivity Toolset

Access to Utility Network and ArcGIS Pro experts

Page 8: How will the Utility Network Affect You?

UNJ Preparation

Numerous hours were spent analyzing and preparing the

Naperville data in Alpha, restricted beta, and full beta

Many environment setup challenges

Alpha: overlaying files on top of Pro

Beta: Server and Portal, in addition to custom Pro

installation

Hosted solution running on Amazon Web Services

Page 9: How will the Utility Network Affect You?

UNJ Preparation

Configured GP tools for tracing using Model Builder

Configured templates to show quicker feature placement

Optionally convert two systems using SSP technology

(circuits, pressure systems)

Refine existing technology as new data cases arise and/or UN

model is updated

Business Drivers for

UN Jumpstart

Technology

• Keep critical systems updated

• Keep up with changing

technologies

670 : 1 – How do we maintain the lean profile?

• Leveraging current technologies

• Implementing new technologies

Page 16: How will the Utility Network Affect You?

What we hoped to gain from UNJ

• Vision– How will UN affect initiatives

• Training– Why did Esri create the Utility Network

– Better understanding of the UN Model

• Planning– Data conversion preparations

– Integrations

• Provide Feedback to Esri

• Calm Anxieties

Page 17: How will the Utility Network Affect You?

Data Migration

Utility Type - Electric– Transmission, Distribution, Secondary

• Circuit

Point Feature Classes– FuseUnit, TransformerUnit, etc.

• OH Transformer, UG Transformer

Network Association– Connectivity – No more offset fuses

– Containment

• Bank Features – FuseBank, TranformerBank

• Can eliminate 32k bus bar

Asset Group

Asset Type

Challenges

• Product

– ArcGIS Pro is bulky with some performance hits

– UN Model is general for all utilities (phasing)

– Associated Connection not visible

• Data

– Transmission not modeled at IREA

– Secondary voltages not modeled well

– Need to implement Portal

Page 19: How will the Utility Network Affect You?

The need for Partners

• Esri as a Partner

– They are listening to Utilities

– There’s more to this change than the Utility Network

• Third party Partners

– Conversion methodologies

– Automation of GP tasks – i.e. tracing, editing, toolsets, …

– Best practices for Utility specific modeling -

Electric, gas, water …
