Enterprise GIS for Energy Companies
Order this title
Geographic information system (GIS) technology allows
utility managers to organize their activities according to a principle
natural to their business: geography. So whether it's an electric company
restoring power after a catastrophe, a planning agency connecting
residential subdivisions to city services, or a natural gas transporter
extending its pipeline through ecologically sensitive countryside, GIS has
emerged as the tool of choice.
GIS is also the tool for managing the fallout from
deregulation, which is transforming the energy industry just as it
transformed the telecommunications industry in the 1980s. Today's
successful energy service businesses apply information technology to
everything from managing facilities and system load analysis to generating
work orders and dispatching service technicians.
Enterprise GIS for Energy Companies presents these
dozen case studies from the trenches:
- South Carolina Electric & Gas
- Bonneville Power Administration
- AlintaGas (Australia)
- Southern Company
- New York State Electric & Gas
- Reliant Energy
- Williams Gas Pipeline
- Colorado Springs Utilities
- Electricté du Liban (Lebanon)
- Southern Californa Gas
- Public Service Company of New Mexico
- Svenska Kraftnat (Sweden)
This richly illustrated volume is ideal for executives
and technical managers in energy services industries who want to manage
their facilities more cost effectively, find new markets, and better serve
their customers.
