R
ecently industry and agriculture, and residen-
tial customers have faced the increased signi
fi
-
cance of the effects of major, including bulk
contingencies in the integrated power grid,
which in turn is conditioned by a progressive growth in
power availability in all spheres of human activity and its
involvement in direct dependence on electricity.
One of the possible ways to accelerate considerably
process of restoring electricity for consumers can be the
use of automated control systems based on geo-informa-
tion technologies, allowing to improve the effectiveness
of decision-making in emergency rehabilitation, the con-
trol of their implementation, reporting of power grid com-
panies, Federal Executive agencies and other interested
organizations and agencies on the progress of works on
liquidation of consequences of accidents.
Distributed resource manage-
ment system for disaster recovery
(the System) which is currently
being implemented in JSC Hol-
ding IDGC
*
and its subsidiaries
and af
fi
liates can serve as an ex-
ample.
BACKGROUND
Analysis of a number of ma-
jor accidents and emergencies
occurred in recent years in the
integrated power grid of the asso-
ciated companies of JSC Holding
IDGC including exposure to natu-
ral weather phenomena (snow de-
posits and slush build-up, ice de-
posit, strong wind, etc.) led to the
need to enhance the effectiveness
of decision and control of the management decisions in
rescue and recovery operations (R&RO).
The expedience of the immediate creation of the Sys-
tem was preconditioned by management practices and
experience in the management of the consequences of
«sleet» at the end of December 2010 — January 2011
that resulted in failure of more than 200 of 35—220 kV
overhead lines, de-energizing of 130 substations of 35—
220 kV and more than 10 thousand of 6—10/0.4 kV
transformer substations as well as brownout of more than
350 000 residents of the Moscow region.
In order to resolve the problem and inform JSC Hol-
ding IDGC authorities, federal executives and other inter-
ested communities about rescue and recovery operations
on a timely basis, in March 2011, JSC Holding IDGC
started to develop the System.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This automated system is designed as a referral system
operating as in normal operation of JSC Holding IDGC
integrated power grid as under emergencies and contin-
gencies, federal level including, to coordinate emergency
response and restoration operations, display incoming of
current, reporting, reference and other information neces-
sary to make corresponding decisions.
The System is a software package based on geo-infor-
mation platform ArcServer 10, designed to:
• automatic data acquisition, processing and storage of
current, reporting information related to contingencies,
emergencies and referral information of subsidiaries
and associates of the company and providing access
to this information for all persons, communities and
authorities concerned;
• effective asset management (manpower and resources)
necessary to contingency and emergency response
including correspondence of attracted resources (number
and team, special-purpose machines, equipment and
materials specialization) to the scale and concrete forms
of emergency response and restoration operations;
• information mapping with reference to site-speci
fi
c
contingency and emergency response, scaling feature,
availability of information of the grid equipment and
allocation of resources used for emergency response
and other referral information.

IMPLEMENTED FUNCTIONAL
CAPABILITIES
At present specialists of JSC TC “Geoinformatika”,
LCC «Data+» and JSC «Sitroniks» in cooperation with
other operating teams of JSC Holding IDGC technical
unit implemented into the System the following functional
capacities:
■
visualization of mapping and thematic layers over the
whole RF territory:

tem contains more than 20 000);
• substations of 35 kV and over (more than 14 000);
• mobile crews (more than 500);
• emergency storages (more than 1.5 thousand);
• events (incidents, disturbances, emergency situations
and other contingencies);
• grid operator, its subsidiary companies and operating di-
visions (OD), operational responsibility areas;
• climatic zonation (wind loading, thunderstorm activity,
ice wall thickness, conductor galloping);
• dangerous unfavorable meteorological weather fore-
cast over the RF territory;
■

• map section print;
■
getting rated values of objects:
• OHL 35 kV and over;
• substations 35 kV and over;
• mobile

• line search by dispatch name and voltage class;
• line search by names of subsidiaries and associates of
the company, af
fi
liates and DO;
• substations search by dispatch name and voltage class;
• substations search by names of subsidiaries and associ-
ates of the company, af
fi
liates and DO;
• mobile crew and emergency storage search by names of
subsidiaries and associates of the company;
• operating responsibility zone search;
■
providing information exchange and reporting during
rescue and recovery operations:
• input and editing of operational information about the
consequences of the accident
and on the R&RO with geo-
referenced description of the
event to the accident;
• the formation of consolidated
operations, reporting, back-
ground information, as well as
information on the R&RO on
the basis of information coming
from the SAC with the desired
frequency, parameters and for-
mats set;

It should be noted that
system development
process is ongoing.
Currently, communica-
tion using similar GIS
operating in the Min-
istry of Energy of the
Russian Federation and
JSC «FGC UES» was
organized. This enabled
to display the System
power supply facilities
and shared resources of
JSC «FGC UES», as well as power generation facili-
ties. Expansion of the volume of information in the
system makes it possible during the coming autumn
and winter period 2012/13 to organize the sharing of
the System for the elimination of major accidents in-
volving objects of both companies.
PROSPECTS FOR DEVELOPMENT
The use of GIS technology in the power industry has
great prospects. In the near future it is planned to expand
the System functionality in terms of the following options:
■
integration with other automated systems:
• ERP-systems and systems of JSC «IDGC Holding»
asset management of subsidiaries and af
fi
liates;
• GIS electric power industry entities, organizations and
agencies;
■
creation of additional groups of layers on
fi
res, thun-
derstorms,
fl
oods, and other hazards with the built-in
array of risks operating in real time and having the fol-
lowing features:
