This workflow automates the manual, time-intensive dispatch and switching procedures utilities use to respond to outages. By integrating smart meter last-gasp signals, PMU data, and SCADA alarms, a fault location agent pinpoints the incident segment within seconds. An isolation agent then simulates and executes switching sequences via remote-controlled switches in the OMS to electrically isolate the fault, preventing further damage. This immediate automated response eliminates the 15-45 minute manual analysis and dispatch delay, directly lowering SAIDI metrics and reducing the volume of affected customers.
