IQGeo Adaptive Grid enables everyone in your utility to see accurate, up-to-date digital representations of the assets and network, all associated work, the location of field workers, as well as other layered data from the desk to the field to the control room. Today, we're going to look at how Adaptive Grid's hierarchical approach to network assets shares connectivity data across the entire organization. Alright, so, in Adaptive Grid, auxiliary geometries and tree models, like you're about to see, provide drill-down views and serve as liaisons between standard geometric models and their new hierarchical representations. This allows features to be stored with respect to their true field locations, eliminating the need for misleading paper map offsets, which contribute to data inaccuracy and create expensive rework for symbol-related workflows like permitting and structural analysis, not to mention making future automation of these tasks close to impossible. Here you can see a duck bank and how we use integrated cross-sections to better manage and convey what is within and contained in these types of structures. Adaptive Grid's hierarchical approach also extends its benefits to the connectivity and tracing model, which are no longer just hidden back-end associations visible to database administrators or developers. Connectivity is now represented visually on the front-end using the equipment and wire tree you see here on the left, providing users with greater awareness and control while modeling complex connectivity configurations within your typical radial loop and mesh networks, as well as behind-the-meter assets, which traditionally aren't integrated into legacy data models at all. Here I'm updating connectivity associations from the front-end for this switch cabinet, which consists of two normally closed switch compartments, a primary bus, and two fused compartments. So I'm dragging and dropping. I have upstream and downstream access for each piece of equipment. And taking a drill down look into our offset geometries that were generated upon completion of that update, we can easily understand which devices are protecting which conductors within the as-built network at first glance, and we do not need to break out the record drawings and the highlighters here. Everyone can also now easily understand and retrieve the connectivity data that they need from wherever they're at with our interactive trace tool. IQ Geo Adaptive Grid is the new approach to managing the entire lifecycle of electric grids. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to see other examples of our flexible modeling or to preview your own network data inside of Adaptive Grid.
