ConEdison as a leading utility sought to increase visibility into data across its ecosystem
Meter Data Management (MDM): ConEdison’s Meter Data Management System (MDMS)
provides accurate billing of
complex tariffs, greater operational efficiencies, and has improved service to ConEdison customers.
With the recent implementation of the EnergyIP 8.7 MDM System, ConEdison is one of
the first energy providers in the United States capable of recording and
processing electric power meter data in near real-time, providing faster
identification and response times for outages and critical safety alerts,
including natural gas detection alerts.
Customer Information System (CIS): As part of
the MDMS work, Siemens Advanta is moving ConEdison’s legacy customer system to an advanced CIS
system. The project will provide a single, unified solution that supports
billing capabilities and customer care operations.
High Pressure Fluid Filled (HPFF) Transmission: In this pilot program, Siemens Advanta is providing ConEdison with a
data driven solution to help detect leaks earlier and more accurately than the
current methodology. The custom AI model, developed specifically for ConEdison, is a
first of its kind utility leak detection approach. Leveraging data from past
leaks to train the AI model, the system will provide ConEdison with
insight that a leak has occurred in
a timely manner.
Connected Worker Safety: In this
pilot program, Siemens Advanta is providing ConEdison with a platform and apps to enhance safety
using a worker’s smart phone. The goal of the Connected Worker Safety Pilot is
to enhance overall workplace safety by providing ConEdison teams with an app that coaches them on
ergonomic safety and gives alerts on hazardous conditions. The mobile app will
enable ConEdison to
increase awareness at the individual worker level to reduce risk of injury and
sustain a positive safety culture.
Manhole Monitoring Program: ConEdison recently
completed a pilot program supporting its Underground Distribution System
assets. Specifically, the effort was a collaboration to enhance safety to the
public walking the streets of NYC, where there are ~ 280,000 manholes, reducing
the number of false positive alarms, improving safety, and reducing costs
"ConEdison has one of the most complex and reliable electric power systems in the
world, and we need to make sure that this digitalization program benefits our
entire value chain, from worker safety to the customer interface. Siemens
Advanta has been a true "partner" in assisting us to identify the
right solutions – and Siemens Advanta even developed custom pilot programs to
meet our unique requirements, when needed."
Jeannine Haggerty, Vice President
of Information Technology at ConEdison
The
advanced technology is improving meter data, customer interface, transmission
line management, and even manhole and worker safety. It is also transforming
how customers monitor their usage of electricity – contributing to cost savings
and environmental benefits. By investing in its grid, ConEdison is
building climate resilience and advancing electrification, positioning the
company as a leading example of leveraging IoT to modernize our nation’s
critical infrastructure
