n It is a multi-departmental and multi-year implementation project that


includes
Ÿ installation of a Cellnet radio frequency fixed network and fiber backhaul
infrastructure;
Ÿ Replacement or retro-fit of approx. 640,000 electric and water meters to
communicate with network; (360,000 elec, 280,000 wtr)
Ÿ development of interfaces to JEA information systems including its customer
information systems (CAIR), outage management system (CGI), field force
dispatch system (FFDS), etc.; and
Ÿ development of advanced Meter Data Management System (MDMS) to take
advantage of volumes of meter data.

n JEA owns all NMR hardware within its service territory. An O&M contract
is in place with Cellnet to maintain the RF network, and provide system
performance in compliance with contract metrics/service level
agreements. This contract will run thru the year 2016.

.d o .c .d o .c
c u-tr a c k c u-tr a c k

n Became clear that vendor was just a data provider


Ÿ JEA’s new Customer Information System (CIS) had not fully stabilized and
adding complex interfaces to it was not feasible
Ÿ JEA builds MDM system to store data and serve as interface for vendor data base
and JEA CIS in order to eliminate/reduce new CIS interfaces
Ÿ Easier to develop new exception processing in MDMS

n Standardized Meter Data Management System (MDMS) a key


recommendation from SLB study
Ÿ Strategic vision to use NMR data beyond billing
Ÿ Single repository for all meter sources (NMR, MV90, Handheld etc.)
Ÿ Easier access to meter data for analysis and business intelligence
Ÿ Interfaces to other essential systems (Outage management, System Planning,
Data Warehouse, etc.)
Ÿ A separate MDMS will be easier to change for BPL, mesh RF and other NMR
technologies

n Vendor provided MDMS deemed less risky due to lack of internal SMEs on
NMR

n Current status
Ÿ Outage/Restoration Events & Restoration Verification interfaces to FMS –in
production since 07/2005
Ÿ Group Outage (DCSB) and outage reports –in production since 11/2005

n Functionality
Ÿ Outage Events Processing –MDMS will receive outage data within 6 to 11
minutes of outage and pass the data to FMS for processing similar to customer
calls
Ÿ Restoration Events Processing –MDMS will receive restoration data within 6 to
11 minutes of restoration and pass the data to FMS; FMS will flag the outage as
NMR verified restored
Ÿ Restoration Verification –FMS will send a list of meters to Cellnet (thru MDMS)
to verify restoration status of each meter. Cellnet (thru MDMS) will send FMS
status of each meter whether the service is restored, or is still out or other
applicable status. SOCC will use this process to perform
– Transformer restoration verification, Single lights out verification
– Call-back verification - EOIS currently calls customers back or pages them or sends a text
message/email per the customer’ s request for a callback when power is restored. FMS
will now validate restoration status thru the NMR to eliminate/reduce incorrect calls
– Bellwether/Commercial Meters- better quality and more reliable outage and restoration
data for bellwether meters (JEA specified) or commercial meters. FMS processing for
bellwether meters or process changes for SOCC TBD
Ÿ Interface with EOIS –thru FMS for outage and restoration data

n Functionality (continued)
Ÿ High Profile Outage Status Report –ability to request the current outage
status of the Duval county schools, lift stations, etc..
Ÿ Excessive Outage Report - a daily report which identifies any meter/service
point which has experienced more than X outages/momentaries over Y
consecutive days, where X and Y are configurable.
Ÿ Outage Exception Report –an exception report for any meter/service point
which has experienced more than X total outages.
Ÿ Outage Summary Report - a summary report totalizing the number of service
points for which outages have been reported. In outage scenarios, this report
could be produced on an hourly (or more frequent) basis.
Ÿ Outage History Report - a historical report (typically, run day after)
identifying the number of meters reporting outage events, number of meters
reporting restoration events, number of meters reporting an outage (from the
daily reads file), number of meters which an outage and a restoration, number
of meters with an outage and no restoration, etc.
Ÿ Pending Outage Report - a list of current outages (not yet restored) sorted
from the oldest to the newest (outage that began first is first on list)
Ÿ Transformer Outage Identification Report - After the daily reads file has
been processed, MDMS can identify an transformers for which reads were not
received for any meters associated with that transformer.

o

.d o .c .d o .c
c u-tr a c k c u-tr a c k

n Must have the highest level of sponsorship and buy-in


Ÿ Internal resistance will manifest itself in many different forms. Strong
executive leadership is required with frequent reminders to the company that
this is an important project.

n Have a vision/plan to use data beyond billing

n Develop separate system to house data and interface with other


systems
Ÿ CIS is not the right system

n Deal with the organizational inertia to changes


Ÿ Don’
t underestimate the scope of the process changes
Ÿ Use MDMS as the catalyst (and not a be all and end all system)
Ÿ Identify short and long term owners
– New method of doing business
– Identify the right ‘
change agent’
/early adopter
– Jobs will not necessarily be eliminated but they will change significantly

n Partner with the right vendor


Ÿ AMR/MDMS is a new field for most utilities and so, finding internal resources
with right skills/experience will be difficult

n Manage stakeholder expectation


Ÿ Requirements will be fuzzy at best. New requirements will be surfacing as
you deliver basic functionality. You must have a process to enhance the
functionally delivered at the same time as you are adding new functionality.

n Spend as much time as necessary crafting the contractual relationship


with your vendors (You will be glad you did!)

n Use Six Sigma or other quality tools during the project to run things
smoothly
