SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING RELIABILITY RETURN ON UTILITY VEGETATION MANAGEMENT

摘要

A system includes a utility analytics system. The utility analytics systemincludes amemory configured to store a vegetation management efficiency derivationsystemrelated to investment in vegetation management and a trim cycle derivationsystemrelated to management of vegetation associated with a power grid. The utilityanalyticssystem includes a processor communicatively coupled to the memory andconfigured toutilize the vegetation management efficiency derivation system and the trimcyclederivation system to derive a reliability return value on an investment tomanage thevegetation associated with the power grid and to derive a trim cycle for thevegetationassociated with the power grid based at least in part on the derivedreliability returnvalue. The trim cycle includes an output indicative of a frequency at whichthevegetation associated with the power grid is managed.
