Description

Reducing customer outage time is a cornerstone of DTE Energy's electric reliability and customer satisfaction strategy and the deployment of smart fault indicators throughout the distribution system has become a key component of that strategy. Smart fault indicators (SFIs) allow DTE to quickly detect and locate the source of damaging spikes in current on the grid, caused by things like fallen tree branches or failed equipment. In order to capitalize on the deployment of these SFIs, DTE has decided to leverage the PI System. As an Enterprise Agreement holder, it was a logical choice. This presentation will describe the architecture and processes DTE Energy has developed to gather, store, analyze, and react to SFI data from the field and the types of benefits DTE has seen as a result.
