Title
Enterprise GIS and the Smart Electric Grid
Description
A four-page white paper from the utility sector's leading provider of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that explains the relationship between the Smart Grid and "enterprise-class" GIS. It begins with typical descriptions of the Smart Grid, its drivers and its uses, with emphasis on distribution automation and asset management. It includes a discussion of the ways a GIS helps a utility manage its field assets and monitor their condition. The ESRI view is that the GIS provides the detailed, comprehensive network model necessary to manage a Smart Grid. Although a bit dense, it is written to a general audience and is a useful overview of GIS and asset management, which are sometimes overlooked as valuable benefits from a Smart Grid.
