Project Scope
Globema will implement Smallworld EL.GIS system at Polenergia together with Smallworld Network Viewer. The project also covers EL.GIS network model adjustment to the company’s needs and creation of a topological network model, which will be build based on spatial and descriptive data obtained from Polenergia’s maps and other sources. In the final stage of the project specialized trainings for employees and cooperating companies will be conducted.
The goal of the project is to build a unified asset database and its spatial model. The objective is also to improve performance of key business processes by providing employees and cooperators with easy access to network asset information. In the end, EL.GIS will help optimize network maintenance operations and will increase general network efficiency. The project started in January 2017 and is expected to be completed within 6 months. Delivered solution will come with full technical support.
About EL.GIS
EL.GIS had been developed by Globema and used by DSOs long before Electric Office was introduced. The system is based on the GE Smallworld platform and supports key business processes of Distribution Network Operators & Distribution System Operators, such as planning and accomplishing new grid investments, re-developing, planning and maintaining operations, as well as managing outages and unexpected situations.
