Con Edison is implementing an effective decisionmaking tool that allows system operators to restore power in a more timely and safe manner. WHEN FOLLOWING FAULTS, SYSTEM OPERATORS FACE SPECIAL CHALLENGES IN ORDER TO RESTORE SYSTEM OPERATION SAFELY AND EXPEDITIOUSLY. To make the best-possible decision, operators must know both the nature and location of a fault. A research and development project now under way at Consolidated Edison Company of New York Inc. (Con Edison; New York, New York, U.S.) demonstrates how using automated fault-location systems as a decision support tool improves overall system reliability, minimizes potential power interruptions and cuts operational costs.
