2 Getting Started
The Oracle Energy and Water Storm Estimated Restoration Time cloud service is a web-based application that allows utilities to create accurate storm models and estimated restoration timelines (ERTs) based on historical storm and outage data. Staff at utilities can use the tool to collaboratively create a storm model, add multiple ERT curves to the storm model, and approve a single ERT as the official estimate for the upcoming storm. The tool can also be used to generate work plan projection timelines to get estimates of how long it will take crews to restore outages. Utilities can then share information from the approved ERT with regulators, customers, and other organizations to help them prepare for a storm.
This guide describes how to perform various administrative and data transfer tasks during the setup, launch, and ongoing maintenance of the Storm ERT cloud service. The main tasks include:
