IEEE Benchmark Year 2015

Results for 2014 Data

Follow up to July 29, 2015 General Meeting
Distribution Reliability Working Group
Denver, Colorado

Background to IEEE DRWG Benchmark

Study

1. Initiated in 2003, conducted annually

2. Participants are anonymous with key identifier to
retain anonymity
3. Participation list is not revealed to anyone
4. Each participant can choose to share their results
5. No inference is made about good or bad reliability
6. Intended to provide information for users to assess
their performance relative to peers

Benchmarking
Using annual key metrics (SAIDI, SAIFI and CAIDI) to assess
performance of a system may be useful, however, needs to be
tempered
DRWG Study attempts to identify various aspects that could
cause a difference in reported metrics
Data may not be directly comparable, since
Data collection & system differences exist
Certain exclusion differences can occur

IEEE 1366-2003/2012
addresses data basis issues by clearly defining the rules.
It DOES NOT address the data collection issues
Companies may not report all forms of outages, due to data collection issues or
other reasons

The following slides

Show company performance using the IEEE 2.5 Beta method to
segregate data into:
Day-to-Day operating Indices vs.
Performance considering the whole customer experience (All)
Separate data collected to evaluate impact of transmission
(WOF) and both transmission and planned outages (WOP)
Segregation by transmission (feed), planned and distribution
To date more than 240 companies have participated in our
benchmarking at sometime.
