Abstract

In 1992, Cobb Electric Membership Cooperative (EMC) of Marietta, Georgia found a need to expand the benefits recognized as a result of their AM/FM implementation to other nontraditional areas, such as line maintenance. With over 115000 customers covering 415 square miles in a rapidly growing metropolitan region, Cobb EMC needed to automate its external operations. Through funds provided by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) Rural Electric Research (RER) Program, Cobb EMC, together with Power System Engineering (PSE), Madison, Wisconsin has completed a visionary project which automates the access of digital maps and facility data in the field. The in-vehicle map access project effectively eliminated the need for traditional truck map books by replacing them with notebook computers. The new computerized system automates the process of locating outages, customers, and facilities by providing a digital map and associated database which contains descriptive information about each facility and customer. The net result is a system which enables line personnel to rapidly access up-to-date maps and facility data before they reach the problem site.<>

多用途车辆地图显示

1992年，乔治亚州Marietta的Cobb电气会员合作社(EMC)发现有必要将AM/FM实施的好处扩展到其他非传统领域，如线路维护。Cobb EMC在快速发展的大都市地区拥有超过115000名客户，覆盖415平方英里，因此需要实现外部运营的自动化。通过国家农村电力合作协会(NRECA)农村电力研究(RER)计划提供的资金，Cobb EMC与威斯康星州麦迪逊市的电力系统工程(PSE)一起完成了一个有远见的项目，该项目实现了现场数字地图和设施数据的自动化访问。车载地图访问项目用笔记本电脑取代了传统的卡车地图本，有效地消除了对它们的需求。新的计算机化系统通过提供包含每个设施和客户的描述性信息的数字地图和相关数据库，使定位停电、客户和设施的过程自动化。最终的结果是一个系统，使线路人员能够在到达问题现场之前快速访问最新的地图和设施数据。
