Introduction

Oracle Utilities Network Management System Suggested Switching helps you generate switching steps for two fundamental types of scenarios:

• De-energizing and isolating an energized device.

Suggested Switching produces steps to isolate and deenergize devices while minimizing the amount of resulting dropped load.

• Restoring power to a de-energized device.

Suggested Switching produces restoration steps by solving the power flow for each eligible tie point with adjacent feeders, in order to determine the remaining feeder capacity and the overloads after the de-energized section is picked up.
