Global Outage Management Relies on Robust AMI

摘要

For utilities worldwide, power outages are a fact of life. (Figure 1 lists percentages of production value lost for various places around the globe.) For instance, the World Bank reports that in Thailand provinces the standard average interruption duration index (SAIDI) is 10 times higher than in Bangkok, Electricity outages are most frequent in the southern region, but duration per outage is longest in the northeast, according to World Bank data. Figure 2 shows 18 power outages occurred in 2004 and 19 in 2007. Power outages from the public grid are less severe in Bangkok than other regions. On average, they occur about 15 5 times a year, lasting about two hours each time.
