Esri GeoConX 2016 White Paper Presentation by Peter Zimmermann of UDC Inc. and Robert Smith of Pacific Gas & Electric. While recently converting their electric distribution sources, PG&E included an initiative to convert their GIS data into a standalone ArcSchematics model. The schematics model was developed to support the engineering group as well as PG&E‘s DMS outage management system and was tailored to provide a geo-schematic representation following major roadways to enhance locating of key primary system features. Software was developed to allow daily GIS updates to feed the schematics model directly thus greatly reducing latency between the two systems. Maintenance of schematics consists of daily executed minor whitespace management edits ensuring ease of use.

PG&E – WHO WE ARE ü Pacific  Gas  and  Electric  Company  was  incorporated  in  California  in  1905 ü There  are  approximately  20,000  employees  who  carry  out  Pacific  Gas   and  Electric  Company's  primary  business—the  transmission  and   delivery  of  energy   ü The  company  provides  natural  gas  and  electric  service  to  approximately   15  million  people  throughout  a  70,000-­‐square-­‐mile  service  area  in   northern  and  central  California.   ü Pacific  Gas  and  Electric  Company  and  other  utilities  in  the  state  are   regulated  by  the  California  Public  Utilities  Commission,  created  by  the   state  Legislature  in  1911.  
PG&E  – SERVICE TERRITORY • Service  area  stretches  from  Eureka  in  the   north  to  Bakersfield  in  the  south • 2.4  Million  Wood  Poles • More  than  141,215  circuit  miles  of   electric  lines  (over  120,000  of  Overhead) • More  than  42,141  miles  of  natural  gas   pipelines.   • 5.3  million  electric  &  4.3  million  gas   customer  accounts.

MULTI-VIEW SOLUTION (OMS) • Separate  views  for  Radial,  Tie  and  Network  Conductors • Users  are  able  to  toggle  between  views  on  the  fly   RADIAL TIE NETWORK
MAINTAINING THE SCHEMATIC DATA CHALLENGES • Only  capture  GIS  changes  that  affect  schematics   features  model   (Change  detection  tools) • Create  a  repository  so  no  Schematic  edit  is  missed   (Geo  processing  tools) • Create  an  Schematic  editing  environment   (Check-­‐out/Check  in  tools)   • Keep  current  with  GIS
