We’re looking to adopt the Suggested Switching tool in OUNMS to support both our LV and HV switching processes, which are currently handled manually. With the increasing volume of maintenance and project work, managing these tasks has become more complex and resource-intensive. Our Network Access team currently uses multiple tools to create switching plans, making the process time-consuming and prone to errors.
We’d like to suggest enhancing the Suggested Switching tool to make it more intelligent, flexible, and reliable for operational use, ideally supporting both LV and HV switching in one place. Key features we’re hoping for include:
- Automation of switching plan generation
- Support for custom operational rules and constraints
- Flexibility to incorporate utility-specific rules and configurations
