Deep Insights and Practical Strategies for Enhanced Reliability and Cost Savings in Our Changing Landscape

Distribution Reliability Excellence (DRˣ) seamlessly integrates outage event details, circuit/segment/asset data, and cost/work information from your enterprise systems with OHROS Consulting Group’s exclusive databases and machine learning statistical models. This integration enables in-depth analyses across various factors such as time, organizations, geographies, assets, weather, and emerging load profiles (e.g., due to electric vehicle expansion). The outcome is the development of precise improvement programs and plans tailored to specific needs.

DRˣ stands out as a sophisticated analytic platform, empowering executives, managers, and reliability engineers to efficiently manage key metrics reported to management and mandated by regulators. This capability translates into enhanced decision-making effectiveness, improved reliability metrics, reduced O&M costs, and optimized allocation of spend for maximum value from investments.

Working With OHROS Consulting Group

We provide distinct advantages in pilot programs and development compared to (1) internal resources juggling expertise amidst competing priorities and (2) larger firms, which, while competent, often come with higher costs.

Transmission System Resilience

Evaluate the effectiveness of your reliability investments by assessing whether past interventions have fulfilled promises of enhanced reliability, reduced risk, and mitigation of potential climate change impacts.

Comprehensive Reliability Metric Analysis

Utilize decision support analytics offering in-depth insights into over 70 industry-recognized transmission system metrics.

Transmission System Inspection Tracking

Implement a structured system to organize, track, and document inspections for each circuit. Establish a link to an image library, enabling senior execs or AMs to access actual inspection photos associated wassets or high-priority defects .

Transmission Circuit or System Level Benchmarking

Establish performance benchmarks for each circuit by comparing them to peer circuits with similar characteristics such as voltage level, length, terrain, and climate zone. Set target levels for availability and reliability based on the unique features of each circuit and aggregate the results to define system-level performance targets.

Identification or Correction of Asset Information Deficiencies

Address data issues and fill in missing information by implementing initiatives to collect elevation and spans data, identify orphaned assets or structures, and undertake corrective measures.

TRˣ – Elevating Your Organization with Advanced Data-Driven Insights

The entire TRˣ platform is a highly flexible/configurable operational analytics tool suite built around pre-structured analytics based on industry best practices and benchmarks.

Reliability optimization functionality combined with AI and ML support predictive analytics in:

  • Storm Hardening Priorities
  • Outage Forecasting
  • Weather Vulnerability
  • Risk-based Allocation of Funding for VM, Inspections, and Other PM Work
  • Optimum Budget Allocation Across Reliability Improvement Programs

TRˣ Highlight: Transmission System Inspections

Leverage risk-based methodologies alongside traditional inspection cycles to efficiently organize, track, and document inspections for each circuit, structure, or span. Inspection types include walking, climbing, and aerial methods, incorporating high-definition imagery, LIDAR, Infrared, Corona, and more.

  • Establish a link to the image library, providing senior executives and asset managers easy access to review inspection photos associated with specific assets or high-priority work orders.
  • Record the identification and classification/prioritization of defects discovered during inspections.
  • Monitor and report on the adherence to schedules and compliance of circuit inspections, including completion status, defect identification, repairs, and risk mitigation efforts.
