About Network Locations

Network locations define the location of a facility within a larger network.

Network locations hold the network nodes that provide service to a facility. In the case of electric networks, network locations define the feeder and substation associated with a transformer (facility). Because these network nodes can change over time, a facility can have many network locations (this is an effective-dated relationship). For example, for electric Service Points, whenever the substation or feeder that provides power to a given transformer is changed, a new record that references the latest substation and feeder should be created.
