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, whenever the substation or feeder that provides power to a given transformer is changed, a new record that references the latest substation and feeder is typically created.

Network Locations are defined by the following:

• Facility ID: The facility associated with the network location.

• Start and End Date/Time: The date and time range during which the facility was connected to the feeder and/or substation.

• Feeder: An ID for the feeder related to the facility.

• Substation: An ID for the substation related to the facility.

• External ID: AN ID used to identify the network location in external systems.
