ESRI DM for water supply networks • Comprehensive • Customizable • Flexible • Scalable • Universal • Extensible • Distributed • Part of Arc suite
ESRI DM for water supply networks • Composed of four basic components • Features • Equipment • Line • Facility • Uses geodatabases for defining objects and behavior in network
ESRI DM for water supply networks Inheritance model Example
ESRI DM for water supply networks • Features are spatial entities that do not participate in the active network • Equipment are the features in a water or wastewater system that do not have an associated geometry or position
ESRI DM for water supply networks • Facilities are used in transmission and distribution of water and are commonly used to join various water lines together • The assorted types of pipes used in the transmission and distribution of water are generically termed lines
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District • Detailed inventory of all assets • Database of water facilities • Data handled by 15 departments • Uses SQL Server as back-end and Visual Basic based application as front-end
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District • Finance department • Standby assessments • Pressure zone charges • Reimbursement agreements • Location of facility assets and link to customer account information to determine connection fees
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District • Operations department • Creation of atlas maps, facility locations, asset maintenance and replacement, and assistance with DIGALERT Calls system • Customer service department • Meter reading route analysis • Meter location determination • Identification of illegal connections
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District • Engineering department • Verification of water availability, planning, inspection assistance, and generation of drawings for internal projects
City of Germantown, Tennessee • No digital maps and database • Drought-affected and frequent water shortages • Water purchased from adjacent counties to meet demand • Water data on 1:500 scale conventional maps
City of Germantown, Tennessee • Uses ArcGIS Water Utilities Data Model • Digital orthophotography for planimetric data compilation • Minimal customization performed on ArcGIS Water model • Database design completed in a short period
City of Germantown, Tennessee • Data created as shapefiles • Shapefiles incorporated in geodatabase • Update of model made easier • Demand information obtained from CIS and DTM of the city • Elevated storage and larger diameter line needed for meeting peak demand
Colorado Springs Utilities • Provider of water, gas, electricity and waste management services • Unification of services proposed • Basemaps originally created from orthorectified aerial photographs • High-resolution maps needed • Imagery processed using ERDAS s/w • Maps incorporated in ArcINFO GIS
Colorado Springs Utilities • Information generated • Detailed maps • Accessibility • Maintenance history and schedules • Future water needs • Land-use monitoring • Obstacles and no-go zones
Colorado Springs Utilities • Change in irrigated land using infrared photographs incorporated into existing GIS
PDA DM for electricity networks • Origin GIS Data Model • Industry standard • Developed by Power Delivery Associates • Origin GIS works in conjunction with ArcGIS 8.3 • Based on MultiSpeak interface
PDA DM for electricity networks • Robust data model tailored to the needs of electric utilities • Sophisticated electrical rules base to ensure bulletproof system modeling • Customized graphical user interface to ArcGIS 8.3 for data creation and modification • Customized user interface for map plotting
PDA DM for electricity networks • Full electrical connectivity from substation to meter • Extensive tracing and spatial query capabilities • Interface/Integrate with leading software providers • Easily publish maps to Internet or other viewers • Push-button switching for easy connectivity model changes
PDA DM for electricity networks • Object-oriented data model • Components of data model • Network features • Non-network features • Object classes • Object classes composed of several classes interacting with other components
Network features are components which are active participants in the utility network • Non-network features are parts of the system which are not directly involved in the utility network
ESRI DM for electricity networks • PDA DM based on ESRI model • ESRI model more general and comprehensive • Comprises the following components • Overhead, surface and underground structures • Devices • Circuit segments • Customer service
ESRI DM for electricity networks • Structure is the abstract class that contains common characteristics, or attributes, for all electric structures involved in the distribution or transmission of electricity • Electric devices help ensure consistent service within the distribution network
ESRI DM for electricity networks • Circuit segments contain classes and properties that describe the conductors that transmit and distribute electric current • Customer and service objects contain customer information and information about generators of alternate sources of electricity
