Application of the Data Consistency and Categorization section of the P1782 Trial Use Guide at We Energies

Abstract

The guidelines for categorizations of electric power interruption events experienced on electric distribution systems will be set forth in the “Trial-Use Guide for Collecting, Categorizing and Utilization of Information Related to Electric Power Distribution Interruption Events” (P1782). This paper will describe how We Energies power interruption event data, while it is not warehoused under the same categories as prescribed in P1782, can still be presented for benchmarking comparisons in P1782 format. This paper will compare We Energies data with that in the following subsections of P1782, Section 1, Data Consistency and Categorization for Benchmarking Surveys: Interruption Cause Categories, Responsible System, Voltage Level, Interrupting Devices, and Customer Restoration.
