Extended Feeder Manager Overview

Resource Center Home

Feeder Manager maintains information that allows a utility manager to determine to which circuit a given component of electrical equipment belongs. It maintains information about the distribution circuit from the feeder source to the service point. Information about the feeder is stored in attribute fields on individual electrical features.

Extended Feeder Manager assumes that all electric data resides within the same geometric network.

 

Single tiered network

Extended Feeder Manager uses the same framework as Feeder Manager and extends the functionality to help a utility manager to identify distinct voltage levels within an electric network. Extended Feeder Manager allows the utility manager to define a set of intermediate feeder sources within electric circuits at points downstream of the ultimate power sources recognized by Feeder Manager.

Multi-tiered network that requires Extended Feeder Manager

Definitions:

Some definitions specific to Extended Feeder Manager include:

SubSource Levels:

Extended Feeder Manager requires that each FeederLevel has no more than one subsource per feeder/circuit. This means that the FeederLevel value cannot be the same on the upstream and downstream sides of a subsource.

Feeder Manager and downstream tracing halts at any subsource that has a level less than or equal to the previous subsource encountered.

Feeder Manager and upstream tracing halts at any subsource that has a level greater than or equal to the previous subsource encountered.
