Configuring Responder/Smart Grid
Affected Transformers

Version: 10.1

Resource Center Home

This configuration allows you to track transformers experiencing outages and store these transformer features in a specific table in the geodatabase. A transformer is considered "affected" when an incident or switch order request occurs directly on the transformer or upstream from it. If the incident is upstream, the incident transformer must share a common phase with the downstream transformer before the downstream transformer is considered "affected." 

When a transformer is impacted by an outage, Responder adds it to the RX_AFFECTED_XFRS table. If a transformer is impacted by a switch order request, Responder adds it to the RX_SW_OR_AFFECTED_XFRS table. When the incident is resolved (or switch order is completed) and power returned to the transformer, it is removed from the respective table. Records are also removed from the appropriate table (RX_AFFECTED_XFRS or RX_SW_OR_AFFECTED_XFRS) when an incident or switch order is cancelled.

This functionality is not enabled by default. To track transformers affected by incidents and switch order requests, perform the following configuration.

  1. Open Miner.Responder.DataServices.exe.config. By default, this file is installed here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Miner and Miner\Responder\Server.
  2. Look for the following XML.

    Copy Code
    <add key="TrackAffectedTransformers" value="false" />
    

  3. Set the value to "true" if you wish to track transformers affected by outages. This value is set to false by default.
  4. Save and close Miner.Responder.DataServices.exe.config.

History and Archive: Transformers affected by a switch order or an incident are added to the archive and history tables (RX_AFFECTED_XFRS_ARCHIVE and RX_AFFECTED_XFRS_HISTORY). However, transformers that are impacted only by a switch order request are not included in these tables.
