SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING RELIABILITY RETURN ON UTILITY VEGETATION MANAGEMENT

摘要

A system includes a utility analytics system. The utility analytics system includes a memory configured to store a vegetation management efficiency derivation system related to investment in vegetation management and a trim cycle derivation system related to management of vegetation associated with a power grid. The utility analytics system includes a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to utilize the vegetation management efficiency derivation system and the trim cycle derivation system to derive a reliability return value on an investment to manage the vegetation associated with the power grid and to derive a trim cycle for the vegetation associated with the power grid based at least in part on the derived reliability return value. The trim cycle includes an output indicative of a frequency at which the vegetation associated with the power grid is managed.
