Presentation 5

The Barbados Light & Power is the sole electric utility in Barbados. It is therefore imperative that in the aftermath of a natural disaster that any damage done to its infrastructure can be quickly estimated in order to immediately deploy restoration efforts to its customers. By leveraging the science of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), The ECI Restore application facilitates the rapid collection of damage assessment data submitted by customers and augments any internal drone assessments or AR assessments being conducted. The various reports and dashboards generated by this ECI restore data then allows business groups at BLPC to further analyze the adverse impact of the weather system on the transmission and distribution network. The ability to leverage this locational intelligence buttresses inputs from other projects such as the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project in helping to map outage data from unresponsive meters. Hinged on the speed of sharing useful information, not only within the organization for better planning but with the general public as well, The ECI restore app is your all-Inclusive damage assessment tool.
