Mobile application for on-site risk-based decision support

Abstract

Maintenance and renewal decisions are essential parts of distribution system asset management as means to control cost, performance and risk. This paper reports on the development of a mobile application used for in-the-field decision support concerning maintenance and renewal in the distribution grid. The application contributes to a more consistent and time-efficient decision-making process; from findings on field inspections, to risk informed decisions implemented as work orders in the DNOs workforce management system.
